Well, Sheriff Joe will be glad to fill all those little cells. Thanks.

Yeah, but where's the green baloney? (I did find the pink underwear, though.)

So you know the good ol boy, eh? I told one of my criminal clients about the pink underware today. I think he wants to run me over with a bus now.

999,999 squares on the wall, 999,999 squares... if one of the squares should happen to fall 999,998 squares on the wall Hmm... not very musical. Needs something. I know! Dr Geep, can you maintain an ambient temperature in the mid 50s? That wall would make a dandy wine cellar. ;^) Carolly

Okay, good Dr. now explain to me (insert dummy) what this means?

Interesting, but I think the terminology is not the best. It seems commonly accepted, and logical that one Poser unit = 1.000 on a translation dial, (which by some conventions = 8"). It seems that 1,000 of your PNU = 1 Poser unit, there seems to be a potential here for confusion between a PNU and a Poser Unit.

Senior lesbentley is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT !!!
Dr Geep has made another boo-boo !
[but NOT on purpose - I assure you]
I have arbitrarily defined a PNU as the smallest increment that you can change something in the Poser "studio."
That is, changing "yTran" from 0.000 to 0.001 would be an increment of one PNU.
I believe Mr. lesbentley meant that 1.000 on the Poser dial should be 8' (feet) and NOT 8" (inches).
I have found that using 1.000 to equal 8.333... (repeating decimal) feet works very well because that makes 1.000 equal to 8 and 1/3 feet or 8' 4" or 100" EXACTLY !!!
Thus:
1.000 = 100"
0.100 = 10"
0.010 = 1"
0.001 = 0.1"
This is the scale that my 9' Prop Scale is based upon.
So, I guess I only have 1 square Poser Unit and not 1,000,000.
sniff
BUT ...
I DO still have 1,000,000 squares !
Oh well, it was fun, anyway.

Maybe I should have called it a "PU"
Now I am SURE someone can make something out of THAT!
(Poser Unit) instead of a "PNU" (Poser Native Unit).

re:"the smallest increment that you can change something in the Poser " uh, while the dials only display three decimal places, they do accept smaller values, i.e., ten-thousandths of a "PeeYewh" (.0001).
geep posted Thu, 03 October 2002 at 10:23 PM
I wasn't going to mention THAT because it will REALLY "muddy the water" for anyone who is gonna ask,
"Ok, I only can see 3 decimal places on the display, where is the ..., etc."
Wouldn't you agree?
OR - are you are referring to P5?
I would refer you to the original "Subject" of this thread.
Besides, do we really need to measure down to one ten-thousanth of an inch?
1/10 of an inch (using my scale) is the distance that Poser's GROUND is below 0,0,0 (the yTran value).
