Hope everyone is well and had a good Christmas or the nearest equivalent thereof.

I've been really sick for quite a while and I'm not out of the woods yet.  A lot more testing, prodding and so forth to go through.  If that wasn't enough, I had a bout of pneumonia - always a barrel of laughs - and to put the tin hat on it all, my graphics box rolled over and died.  Totally, absolutely dead, disks trashed (I tried 'em in me other box), motherboard totalled and everything.

So, I'm now effectively a non participant in this here 3D malarkey - the box I'm using for t'internet is even slower and crappier than my late lamented graphics machine - until I can get the wherewithal to buy a replacement.

Ain't life grand?

Hang in there Sam, good upper lip and all....

Will be thinking about you.

Well that is a desperate end to 2012 and start to 2013.  I hope things improve for you particularly on the health front.  I can empathise, to a degree, as 2012 was not a good year health wise for me, but at least I had my 3D stuff to keep me occupied.  You seemed to have all of my 2012 bad luck and a lot more dropped on you all at once.

I hope your fortune changes soon and you have a great PC to play while being in the best of health.  Fingers crossed and I will be thinking of you also.

Please keep us up to date as you can or your Internet connection will allow.

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.

I have an ASUS quad core motherboard in a case sitting around that you are welcome to. It was my deceased husband's computer. I've cannibalized the hard drive and memory to my computer, but they're pretty cheap right now. Just let me know a shipping address and I'll box it up and send it to you.

I hope you feel better soon Paul! I've been wondering where you've been. Though I haven't been around much myself either.  I was without a computer for a bit, and now that I have a new one, something went wonky and I lost all of the data on my external hard drives, even though the drives still work, it was like they have both been completely reformated. Tried several programs to recover data, but there is nothing there to recover. So I'm out of Poser. I lost all of my content and runtimes and it's just too much effort to download everything again and reinstall runtimes.

My old computer has the following parts that are still good:

2 gigs memory
Fan
A motherboard of some kind
A power supply unit
DVD burner

If you are interested I can look up what they actually are and if you are interested, and the bits fit into Glitterati's Motherboard and case, I can ship them across the pond to you :)

Bugger :(

I'm more than sorry to hear that Paul...

...I'd been wondering where you'd got to and how you were doing.

I hope your health picks up soon, first and foremost, of course.

Right now, I can likely supply you a hard drive or two, depending exactly what you needed there, and whatever memory would be compatible with Glitterati3D's cased CPU and motherboard, if her offer is an option for you. Let me know...

I'll pull out the receipt for the MB and scan it so we all know what will fit/not fit. It will probably be late tomorrow, though. I have a class I have to attend tomorrow.

Good to hear from you again.  Like Acadia, I too wondered where you went.  Get back to good health, you have a beautiful family to take care of.

i wish you well, & hope all goes good for you.

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.

Best wishes, especially on the health front. If you'll tell me what kind of memory Glitter's MB uses, I probably have several gigs lying around. Will be happy to send it to you.

 

Sorry to read that! I am wishing you the best. The board has not been the same without your humor (humour in your case!)

Thanks, everyone.  The offer of the PC is lovely and I really appreciate it.  Thing is, I live in the UK, so shipping could be prohibitively expensive.  I'll PM you my address in any case and you can always stop by if you're in the area.  :)

As for my health, well, the good news is I don't have prostate cancer; the bad news is, nobody yet knows what's wrong so they're going to cut holes in me to take a look around.  :)

Well, I have looked everywhere for the documentation, and can't find it.  In the morning, I will crack open the case and start writing down pertinent information.  As I said, it was my late husband's, so he must have put the documentation in a file somewhere that I've packed away.

I really don't think shipping will be prohibitive as it weighs practically nothing.  And, since I'm buying a home, it's time to clear out stuff I don't need to move anyway, so you'll be doing me a favor taking it off my hands into someone's who will put it to good use.

I still have a hard time parting with his things, and know it will be useful for someone will make that easier.

Thank you all for your kind words and offers of help.

@ Skee - I don't know and besides, I wouldn't contemplate asking anyone for money.  I don't object to people giving bits of PC kit they don't need but other than that, well I'd consider it to be very impolite (at best) for me to go a-begging.  :)  I do appreciate the kindness, though.

OK, I understand you not asking for money.... I just want to know what you would need and the cost of it. I would like to help. If the cost of shipping a computer to you would not  work, maybe if it was purchsed there for you that would work. what would you need?

I have plenty of computers that I have repaired what do you need.

Do you still have all your programs?  windows?

As for what I'd need to get a functional PC, the way I read things, I'll need a graphics card of some description.  Acadia says she has a Power Supply but I don't know if it's suitable, since the electric supply here is totally different from Canada/USA.  We use 240v @ 50hz, you guys, I believe, use 120 @ 60hz.

I may be able to get those things here for not too much money; I just don't know at present.

The case actually comes with a 450 watt power supply.  Of course, I have no idea how that might work in the UK.

I'll ship this off early next week - been busy with my house closing - so shipping Monday or Tuesday.  We've been forecast some snow today, and I'm not getting on the road with these idiots!  All they have to do is say the S word and they freak out!

the PSU should have a voltage switch on the back. just flick it over to run 120 or 240.

I did with my machine moving from canada to the UK.

I've got memory and a hard drive, I believe... compatible with Glitterati3D's case / motherboard and cpu.

SATA disk I believe from the spec, as far as I can see... and 800 MHZ DDR2 240 pin RAM. Looks like 4 GB limit on the motherboard. I should be able to max that out for you no problem.

I'll dig it all out and post it to you too.

I should have a compatible PSU kicking about if needs be too.

However looking at the spec of the case she linked to, there is a voltage switch on the back of the PSU, so you should be grand there. (edit: cross-post there)

Hope having a system to escape on a bit helps :)

But yeah get some R&R... maybe all you can do till you know more.

I'm worn out with just one of those radgy wee folk (number two is still in the post) and I'm in pretty good health at present!

Thanks, folks.  I wasn't sure if it'd have switchable voltage.  My defunct box did, the internet one don't.

Installing everything should be a long, tedious process.  Fortunately I have backups of software and content, or I'm able to re d/l 'em if need be.  There's bound to be one or two losses along the way but it's better than never having any of it back.

As for the small people, Ilona will be 2 in a few weeks.  Both of 'em are noisy and shouty and generally really good at finding things they shouldn't do but doing them anyhow.

other than the ram limit, everything you can get in pro, you can duplicate in home with shareware / freeware anyway... often done quite a bit better as well.

Good to know.  Thanks, mate.

Really, all I want it to do is run Poser, Wings and a few other graphics things.  It'll be nice to have a render with BB's stuff finish in less than 18 hours. :D

And, when the time comes, I will be asking for advice on suitable shaders for me Daleks.  For just about every damn thing, in fact.  Oh, and lighting.  And everything else. :D

Yeah, as already suggested, Home Premium should do you fine, I would think...

You'd only really need pro if you're requiring to hook it up to a Windows domain, on a business network, and that sort of thing.

EDIT... hmmm, posted a link to Amazon, then realised it was for an OEM licensed copy...

I guess you'd qualify for an upgrade version though?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Windows-Premium-Upgrade-Vista/dp/B002DGS81C/ref=sr_1_1?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1358713576&sr=1-1

Regarding installing the upgrade version...

http://www.pcworld.com/article/174710/microsoft_says_windows_7_install_workaround_is_legal.html

Because you're arguably building a new system, you'd possibly qualify for the cheaper OEM license too.

However the downside of that is you can't then legally move the license to another PC.

Thanks for the links, Chris.  I've seen the full version cheaper elsewhere, though.

Oh, btw, I won at the Tribunal.  Forgot to let you know.  :)

I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity shown here.  I can't thank you all enough.  So I won't. ;)  Seriously though, you have my sincere thanks and gratitude.  You people are amazing.  I really hope I can repay your generosity one day.

Needless to say, if I ever start selling things again, you guys are in for some major freebies.

Thanks to all the people here helping out Paul. I am touched by your generosity!

I should get those components in the post to you later this week Paul, 4GB memory and the HDDs I was planning to send you on.

Just waiting for the 7-pass data wipe to complete on the HDDs... :)

There's a terrabyte's worth there for you (2 x 500GB SATA), provided those two HDDs test okay once the data wipe is done.

Should get a fair few more Daleks on that? He he ;-)

The wipe process itself will hopefully give them a good road test - they've been sitting for a year or so... used them in a RAID1 backup array for a year or so before that. Backups running incrementally via OS X Time Machine... so the I/O mileage shouldn't be too bad, I don't think...

Will do some S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics on them and double check they're okay before I despatch them.

Hopefully get them to you in plenty time to coincide with Glitterati3d's case, mainboard and CPU reaching you...

Please consider my contribution as gift in appreciation of all your existing Daleks :)

You're gonna have to get a newer version of Poser now to match that machine you'll be getting. LOL

I'll second that, after all the flame wars of the past year or so it is so good to see members of the community come together like this.  Having just retired and getting used to a deminished income (that and the fact I tend to give away and PC parts I have rather than have them lying around) I was unable to help in practical terms.  So a heartfelt thanks to all those that did.

May good fortune smile on everyone of you.

Laurie - I have Poser 2012 Pro.  A very generous person (who has asked to remain nameless) bought it for me.  I couldn't get it to work on my old machine but it should do very nicely on the new one.  :)

I will be installing P6 for testing purposes, though.  Possibly rigging too, since I've heard there are a few problems (I refuse to use the word "issues" in this context) with rigging in P2012P.

hornet3d - I've always thought there are a large number of first class people here but, like any community there's bound to be friction now and again.  Everyone's human and nobody's perfect.  

I'm immensely grateful to everyone, whether they could help or not, since everybody has shown an enormous amount of goodwill.  In any event, I wasn't expecting anything; my post was just a gripe, so all these wonderful gifts were a complete surprise.

As you say we are all human and I expect the odd flame war, particularly as it is very easy to mis-understand the written word on such forums.  I am just so happy that more positive human traits have come to the fore thanks many generous people.  I have read your posts on a regular basis and missed them, particularly the humor.  You have given a lot to the community and I am sure it pleases everyone here to see you get the help you deserve.

Sounds like Poser 2012 will fly on your new system, may it bring you great pleasure for a long, long time to come.

Well, I just made it along to the post office and my offering is on its way to you now, Paul :)

Took me longer than I'd hoped to get a free lunchtime to take the package along... but it should be with you by the weekend hopefully.

Fingers crossed the disks make it to you okay... I got them to slap a big fragile sticker on the parcel.

Any problems with those disks, I've got another one or two kicking about. But those two were the best ones... and twins.

Likewise the memory. That's not actually been used, in anything, in fact... from an abandoned project ;) It's just Komputerbay modules, but fully buffered, with heat spreaders. Should do the trick I think, as far as I could tell, with the CPU and m/board that Glitterati3d was going to send you.

But, if any issues with compatibility there, I can certainly see what else I've got kicking about in the workshop, shed, garage, etc...

Cheers ;)

Thanks for the comments on the dress.  I've got a fantasy outfit in the works, but it may be a while until I can get my hand a little better.  It's very nice shades of purple and blue, right now (the hand, I mean).

Just as the EMTs arrived, it started snowing and I thought, oh great, if I don't manage to kill myself, they'll finish me off on the way to the hospital.  Snow + Georgia is not a good combination.  But, I can't use that as an excuse - I was being a klutz.

It's like Christmas all over again. 

Weeee!

Thanks, everyone!  

It is taking me a little longer as well.  We just got moved in, but I took a very bad fall.  I tripped over a wheelchair access point at a store and face planted into the sidewalk.  Broke my nose, broke my hand, and my teeth went right through my bottom lip.  To say it hurts would be the understatement of the century.  Typing is a little tough.

But the mobo, case and processor will be on the way in the morning.

 

Holy crap....you alright? :(

LOL, the doctor assures me I will be.  Still pretty much living on pain pills and all food has to be through a straw, but I'm managing.  Thanks for asking.

 

Oh man... geezo... you've certainly been in the wars then! :-o

...yeah, my dog has head butted me before... jumping on to the bed as I was leaning down to pick something up off the floor. I saw stars... and a load of blood. He was very apologetic... although completely oblivious to the fact he'd rammed his skull into mine ;)

Good grief, woman!  You don't do things by halves.  All the very best wishes to you for a speedy recovery.

Very many thanks for your kindness, all the more so since you're badly bashed up, too.

 You folks are wonderful! Glitterati- best for a speedy healing.

Monkey's kit arrived - or rather, would have if I'd been in at the time.  Postie left a card saying it couldn't be delivered.  I'll arrange for 'em to deliver next week.

I now have the stuff from Monkeycloud.  Many thanks, mate.  Postie brought the package this morning, all nicely wrapped.  All the contents look safe and sound.

All I need now is the case, board and PSU from Glitterati.

Good stuff - and you're most welcome ;)

Hopefully you'll be all ready to roll with the new rig soon now...
