 And it's kind of ticking me off. I understand it to a certain degree and hey, I've even contributed to it  more than just a little. Will Dupre would be the first to point that out to me, so yes, I acknowledge it.
But lately...

They're reeeeeeally starting to push my buttons.

Posted my freebie poses for Alyson to the DAZ Freepository  and got 25 comments. All negative comments about Alyson's face. Not even one "Hey thanks for the freebie poses."

I almost feel unwelcome if I post anything specifically about Poser in the Commons. Think I'm going to hang out here for a while.




hoplaa posted Sat, 08 August 2009 at 7:57 PM

If they're negative comments about Alyson's face, how does that translate into negativity towards you? Unless you had some part in the development of that figure, I don't see what the problem is. Likewise, if people say bad things about Poser, what reason do you have to take it personally?

But that's just my EUR .014 :-)


originalkitten posted Sat, 08 August 2009 at 8:01 PM

i think what he is sayin his thread was about free poses he made not about how bad the figure was and not one person said thanks for the poses just started a irrelevant topic about the figures face. its quite rude not to thank someone for a freebie but sadly it happens all the time no matter where you go.

Well, DAZ is the home of an app which is a direct competitor to Poser; You need to keep that in mind.
While DAZ themselves are rather cool about it, their cultists aren't; So it's pointless to start any constructive thread about Poser (or Poser content) over there, it will get scuttled sooner or later. It's human nature.

Exactly. I'm actually rather used to not getting thanked in the Freepository. I guess most people feel that they're only poses, no need to thank  anyone. I don't download a lot of stuff from there, but I usually thank people when I do.

But this time... Why hijack my thread? There's plenty of hate for Alyson AND Poser already in the Commons.




Netherworks posted Sat, 08 August 2009 at 9:15 PM

I think the poses are great!

Sometimes I think that's why CP closed its forums.  There were so many posts that were just outright hostile.  People had concerns and frustrations but simply couldn't behave themselves.  There were some very informative and helpful threads but I think they were few.

I was there browsing the commons forum last nigth, in one thread people were actually spilling their guts out about how bad Poser 8 is.

That behavoiur can be excused (lack of knowledge, stupidity etc) but in this case it all was based on a render someone posted showing very bad deformation on the Poser females neck, a deformation caused by using one of the canned poses from the library.

The mob (in lack of a better word) ruled out Poser 8 based on one bad picture, rendered by someone who had actually found a bad pose that messed up the character.

I felt uncomfortable and left the building.

Hello,
yes, the energizing competition between DAZ programs (DS + Carrara) versus Poser unfortunately has moved to a lot of flame war. It's almost like the MS Windows vs. Linux discussions a few years ago. 
For constructive topics, my learning was to best discuss Poser topics here at Rendo (since CP has closed) and Carrara topics at DAZ (I don't use DS).

It is unfortunate, because with some more cooperation, most of the content could be used in both programs much more easily.

Btw., the DAZ forums are not mentioned in the Poser 8 manual (Page 8, Third Party forums), despite most rendered content I believe is bought there.

Best regards,
   Michael

It can be hurtful, these hatreds and jaundiced views, try stepping back a little and view it all in context of life in general and it all becomes quite funny really. Sometimes absolutely hilarious. Perhaps it is strange humor, but really people getting so angry at you for posting something about a computer app, take it with a grain of salt and laugh, it feels better.  :biggrin:

If I were impolite I might have to say:

Let them take their renders and Daz studio blab and post them on the CG Society forums and see how welcome they would feel.

 There are more cliques at DAZ than here.  That is the number one reason I hang around HERE more than there  The present economic climate of competiveness just fans embers and sparks into open flame, IMO.  Loads of good people there as here.  You just have to be more careful not to say anything to overly upset the locals there.

I don't have Poser 8, but I thought the bashing over there was overblown by my standards.  Freebies do NOT have to be free, so they should always be appreciated.

@EClark--Don't have it, and don't need it, but thank you for making it.  I do meant that.

I think a LOT of people just need to chill out and find some stuff to feel happy about, IMO.

Hands up - I'm guilty! I was the someone who posted the picture that got people laughing that made people mad that lived in the forum that DAZ built. This was not posted in the Freepository thread that EClark started - and EClark, I'm sorry your work wasn't appreciated - free content is a generous gesture that should never be dissed in any way.

To be fair to myself, I didn't deliberately pick that particular pose to make Alyson look bad. I picked it at random and was shocked by how badly the figure deformed. I actually think that Alyson is a better figure than Ryan, who I can't help feeling looks just weird.

Ahem, anyway... I've was using Poser for quite a while before I even aware of DAZ and I have no interest in D|S.  I have to say though, that apart from a few bad apples, the folks on the DAZ forums have been very helpful, generous, and kind to me. I've learnt a lot there and I've found that by and large people are far friendlier over there than at a number of other communities.

I don't think i've come across a single forum that doesn't have the occasional software war. I certainly didn't mean to contribute to one. I'm a Poser-person and will remain so. I don't understand why people have to play those silly "my software's better than yours" games. So childish.

Use the software you like, contribute to whichever forums you wish, live and let live.

 I appreciate that you guys like my poses, really. And yes, it's also nice to be thanked for providing them. I'm actually used to not being thanked for posting my poses in the Freepository. Not a problem really. What set me off this time was that my thread was hi-jacked. so that they could diss the Alyson figure the poses were made for.

There were 25 postings made about how ugly Alyson is. Not one posting was to thank me for the poses, to tell me they sucked, or were even unneccessary. Not one  posting even peripherally mentioned the poses at all. I still don't know whether they came in to download the poses or diss Alyson.

That wasn't just rude, it was insulting.

My poses will still be available on my website, no matter what. I'm just reconsidering making them available through the Freepository Forum anymore..

Yeesh.  People can make art with anything if the talent is there.  Folks have to be more respectful of other folks media or programs.  I AM NOT a big fan of DS, but have seen inspiring work come from it, and crap from Poser.  AND Vice versas! :laugh:

Penguinisto posted Mon, 10 August 2009 at 11:57 AM

Ahh, clique behavior.

FWIW, a few things have sprung to mind here:

* while I give massive props to anyone who does the freebie route (hey, it is work), you may want to keep in mind that maybe there are some constructive bits to be found in the criticism (dunno, haven't seen the thread, don't know where it is, too lazy to go look, etc).

*(a) Yes, even for free, one should expect to put up with critiques. I actually love getting them, since it points out stuff that I miss - otherwise I think everything is fine while I continue re-making the same mistakes over and over again... that's no way to grow.

* I sincerely doubt that DAZ is ringleading some evil conspiracy to bad-mouth the P8 figures (from what I've seen, and only IMHO, those particular figures do a good enough job of that w/o any help).

* Finally, an odd thought. Let me use a non-Poser example: If I were to build a neat script to help automate the conversion of your retail-bought OSX Leopard DVD into something you can build a Hackintosh off of, the last place I would want to say anything about it is in the Macintosh/Apple forums here. While yes it's 100% legal to do such a thing, it would tend to rub the denizens there the wrong way (I already found that out just by announcing that I managed to build one the hard way) - therefore, I take the lesson and act accordingly. I'm thinking the same dynamic is at work in the DAZ fora. If it involves a DAZ competitor, odds are good that the denizens there won't/don't have Poser, and therefore won't/don't have a clue as to what to do with it, and thus are more likely to give negative or indifferent feedback, which means...

* You'd have better luck posting the freebies here. Also, know that if you'd built something for a freebie stand-alone figure, or something that didn't require the purchase of Poser (or any moderately costly program), you would've likely gained a better reception there.


EClark1894 posted Mon, 10 August 2009 at 1:19 PM

 You obviously misunderstand or have confused what I have stated. I'm not opposed to criticism of any poses I supply. There WERE none. All the criticism was of the ALYSON figure's LOOKS, not her posing abilities. 

And yes, I have posted poses for the G2 figures in the Freepository before. I was thanked and those that use the figures or just wanted the poses downloaded them. No one criticised the G2 figures simply because they belonged to Poser.

 DAZ3d is or at least was a subsidiary of Zygote, which supplied Poser with it's first figures all the way up to Poser 4. DAZ3d split from Zygote and started an online store that made and brokered 3D content primarily for the Poser community.

About 4-5 years ago, Poser's continued existence was in doubt (I forget exactly why, but I think it had something to do with Poser being sold yet again to e-Frontier). DAZ3D decided to hedge it's bets and began to create it's own 3D application, DAZ Studio.

Do you have some sort of data to back that statement up? How do you know DS users don't outnumber Poser users on their site by now? I'm not a DS user or fan myself, but I don't see how it could possibly have that many less users since it's free and supported at that site.

No offense EClark1894, and I know we don't exactly see eye to eye on some things. but did you consider reporting the OT posts in your freebie thread rather than coming here to complain? The DAZ moderators can't do anything about the problem unless they know about it, and i certainly think it would be fair for you to ask for those offending posts be removed from your thread.



wdupre posted Mon, 10 August 2009 at 7:33 PM

ok I apologize I see that richard did post a warning in the thread for others to stop with the OT posts, so obviously he was aware of it so no need to report but I think the thread should be reviewed and I will ask them to do so.

I thought Richard did a good job moderating that thread, (and I noted so in that thread)although he did arrive late on the scene.  Unfortunately there were some posters that weren't very gracious to Earl, but I'm not sure being a boor violates TOS..

Quote - Do you have some sort of data to back that statement up? How do you know DS users don't outnumber Poser users on their site by now? I'm not a DS user or fan myself, but I don't see how it could possibly have that many less users since it's free and supported at that site.

There was an informal poll on the DAZ forums a cuppla months back asking "what is your primary 3D app?" The results were Poser @ approx 37%, D|S @ approx 32%, with Bryce, Carrara, Vue, C4D, Max, LW and Maya in rapidly descending order.

Poser vs D|S is one of the regular causes of thread drift over there of course, but it's usually stopped by the dry wit and gentle hand of Richard H, who's an excellent mod IMO.

The WIP poses for Ryan are looking good EClark - can I make a request for some everyday stand/sit ones as well as the BB style?

Cheers!

Heh - to be fair, it did have the word "primary" in the poll. I primarily use D|S, but I also have and own Poser 4, PPP, and 6.

Quote -  DAZ3d is or at least was a subsidiary of Zygote, which supplied Poser with it's first figures all the way up to Poser 4. DAZ3d split from Zygote and started an online store that made and brokered 3D content primarily for the Poser community.

About 4-5 years ago, Poser's continued existence was in doubt (I forget exactly why, but I think it had something to do with Poser being sold yet again to e-Frontier). DAZ3D decided to hedge it's bets and began to create it's own 3D application, DAZ Studio.

The history is as follows:

When P5 went into development, Poser was sold to a parent company in Germany, which approved the sale because, to be blunt, it needed the cash and thought Poser would be an excellent cash cow.

Problem was, they forced the release long before it was ready, and P5 went out riddled with bugs. The development team did what they could, but the resulting bad PR and the disasterous sales forced Poser along to its next owner. The company in Germany, last I heard, went out of business.

DAZ had been talking about developing its own package for some time, and the apparent death of Poser seemed to spur its development team along, which resulted in the near endless series of beta versions before we actually saw Studio 1.0. Poser, meanwhile, was limping along with vers 5 and then 6, which had its own share of issues, and we had all the nonsense about the proposed fees for getting the MilFolk into the Face Room. P7 got the program back on track -- it's arguably the most solid version since 4.

One point not touched on is in general people based in the US are a touch angry at the moment.
Last year we had fuel prices through the roof
Last year and this year had the bail out to wall street including large bonus paid and even talk of more needed when commercial real estate goes upside down in the coming months.
We had a stimulus package
We bailed out GM and Chrsyler
People in general are scared for their jobs, keeping their house, watching their 401k's evaporate.
From all this and other current issues comes anger of what about me? I paid my taxes, made all my car payments and house payments on time. Yet I am hurting. What or when are you going to do something for-about me? Why should I be punished with the threat of higher taxes and local fees because I did everything right.
Me personally, I don't belong to any group or political party. Yet I have written more letters to my senators and congressmen in the last 12 months, then I probably have in my entire life time.

Look at the how the number of posts in other forums where people mention how cool  some new content is yet they have to wish list it and hope they can buy it later. The number of posts like that has increased a lot recently. Those people that can't afford the newest toy because of the current economic conditions get both jealous and angry at the same time.

In a nutshel, it is human nature when you are angry to vent, even if what you are venting about at the time, has nothing to do with the underlying reason you are angry in the first place. Then toss in the underlying Daz-Poser issues as stated in this thread and being a Mod is these times has to be a nightmare more so then at any other time frame.

 Last one. I'll zip these up and post them sometime today on my download page and place a link on the Rendo freestuff page. Since I'm more than just a little p***ed for the moment at DAZ I'm going to withhold these from the Freepository. Maybe by the time I decide to transfer these over to M4 and V4 I'll be in a more forgiving mood.

Actually, you know that probably wouldn't be a bad idea. A set of poses to go along with Faveral's Tavern set. Um, You just want Alyson or V4 too?

Beggars will take whatever they can get and use universal poses or puppetmaster to convert to another character. To work in Faverals Taven would be icing on the cake.

DAZ Studio wouldn't be popular at all if it wasn't free.  That's the only reason why there's competition.

And whoever mentioned about Zygote/DAZ's popularity in relation to Poser is correct, but the "kids" over in the DAZ forums aren't old enough to remember that.  I remember when Zygote had only a handful of figures and I think I have them all.  All crap compared to what's available now.

If it weren't for the few things I find at the DAZ Store that are worth picking up, I'd leave it all together.  I drop in and out of the Platinum Club all the time for that reason.  It's like Cartoonland over there and male figures are shunned.

Subjective opinions aside (there's no way you or I or anyone can tell what made it popular or not), the fact that there is competition, is IMHO a good thing. It forced Smith Micro (and eF, EGISys, etc before that) to innovate, which is a damned good thing. It also (apparently) gave Smith Micro a template for their new UI layout ( half kidding, half glad SM/Poser did that), and the idea to use OpenGL back in the day, among other things.

Bits and Bobs: Zygote still exists separately. Its CEO is (last time I bothered to check - call it 2005) Bryan Brandenberg. See also where Posette and Dork were basically 'open-sourced'. The original modelers for the P4 meshes included (and were headed by) Chris Creek, who is currently VP @ DAZ.

The whole reason "Dazzle" was built in the first place was because of impending fears of Curious Labs dying while Mr. Cooper slowly drowned in anger (don't make me dredge up the threads). The P5 debacle was only the icing on that particular cake, as it had brewed long, long before D|S released even as a first beta. They'd had it mentioned publicly as early as 2002, and began architecting it (IIRC) in 2000-2001.

Finally, the 'get offa my lawn' syndrome won't keep the 3D hobby alive, so kindly take off the Depends already and be nice to the kids, willya? :p

Or the Men, men, more men thread.  One of my favorites. 

The thread got me to thinking, there is somewhat of a distinction between the male characters I was personally drooling over, compared to the male characters the men seem to be enjoying more.  Of the male characters, which one is bisexually pleasing to both men and women?
