Yeah, the links are dead. Can't do anything about that.

Anton's site was the only place you could download him from. Sorry.

I've been trying to download him too. I'm just hoping that somebody who already has the figure can get permission to upload him to a different site fingers crossed.

I have to tell ya...that's doubtful. But perhaps Anton will answer one of the emails that's been sent to him from members here. But that's also doubtful as well - Anton's been out of the Poser scene for years now. We may have seen the last of Apollo Maxiums.

Has anyone asked Divshare what the deal is? You would think they'd have a notice if the files are blocked; then again, from what I've read about their support, it might not do much good either. Oddly, the file stats show 0 views and 0 downloads since it was uploaded in 2007. I already have the figure but I played around a bit out of curiousity. I saw a post somewhere about divshare blocking downloads by country at times - tried a non US proxy, downloaded another file from them, looked at the URL and tried some variations and no joy, still the endless loop. I agree with Laurie, doubtful that Anton will reply. You're going to have to find another figure.
There's still stuff from ca. Poser 3 on zombie sites or on the Wayback Machine, but the general rule is if you have even a vague interest in something, grab it. For those who arrive later, say la vee :-(

Not certain if OKCrandy still has the downloads. His website forum had permission to host or link to the Apollo Maximus content. Do a search and check with him, perhaps ?

If you find a copy of the book "Practical poser 6" it contains a CD with some goodies in it, amongst other stuff also the figure Apollo Maximus.

maybe somebody with paid divshare membership would tell us what happens when they try to download apollo. then one might not only get apollo, but all other items there.

there is another free male figure called Koz. He's weightmapped I think so you need poser 9 or PP 2012
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!
