A few things I'd buy today, if they were available: 1.Racquel Welch-style cave-girl outfit, with loin-cloth, top and big furry boot things (like from the 60's movie). Maybe w/ winter and summer tex. 2.White trash props/figures. La-Z-Boy recliner; six-pack of Bud; Chevy pick-up truck, fully textured mobile home, pit bull. 3.Animals animals animals. I love brycetech's and Noggin's animal/bug/whatever figures--wish people would make more odd and usual critters (what I'd give for a skunk! An aardvark! A kangaroo! You get the picture). Also, good quality animals to compete with the really overpriced ones at DAZ. 4.A sexy baby-doll nightgown with V2 chest morphs and a couple of lace textures. 5.Good, cheap P4 hair (for Vicki). Always looking for good, versatile hair prods, and I'd buy a ton of 'em if they were priced under $10.

Also a good-looking ferret-weasel-ermine, and any of a nmber of small dogs (these are symbolic items in renaissance painting--ermine for purity, dog for loyalty/family/faithfulness).

Debra Ross sells a kangaroo over at Vista Internet Products. And Lyne Masamitsu has additional morphs and textures for the creature, including a wallaby character.

LD, are you some kinda Poser "know-where-it's-at" savant or what?
Mosca posted Mon, 04 November 2002 at 5:35 PM
thanks, LD--but I don't buy from Vista because of their ship only/no downloads policy.

He (LD) is indeed, PabloS...And I try to remember to thank the gods everysingleday for him and his never-to-be-equalled database of Poser Stuff! Mosca, that's a real bummer about not being able to use Vista's critters---they're high quality and not overpriced....at least, not compared to DAZ.

I wish VIP would change that policy as well...with high bandwidth, there's no reason not to have it both ways..although it probably is a cheaper way to run the web site.

Their rationale appears to have more to do with trying to prevent unauthorized use. Apparently by placing limitations on potential customers.

I admit that their mail only policy stops me from buying from them most of the time. However, they've got such high quality work that when I really need something, its worth the wait to get it in the mail. The pig and goats I got from there were perfect for what I needed them for. The biggest problem is that when I need something, I really need it now. Waiting a week for delivery can cause me to be late for a requirement. If I ever get a few hundred ahead, I'm going on a buying spree there and get all those really neat animal and bird models I'd like. Buying them one at a time and paying for seperate shipping each time just doesn't work. It's really too bad. The stuff they have is truly first class.

~grinning at LD's "savant" status~ I imagine he doesn't buy underwear at K-Mart anymore, knows exactly how many toothpicks fell on the floor (592 btw), and is "an excellent driver." :-)

...oh, and watches Judge Wapner everyday.

I've never bought underwear at K-Mart. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Thanks for the update LD. That's more than I needed to know. :-)

Dave-So:
Do you mean the rubber duck in one of my gallery images?
That's bloodsong's Devil Ducky, with my "no-horns" morph. You can download them at 3D Menagerie.

My store has oddish fantasy creatures. And I am working on some more realistic types now. :)

Hi everyone, (and thanks moscha for the nice comments_and you might be in luck_a skunk and an aardvark are on my to do list!) I agree with others here_ Vista's (Lyne and Debra's) models are superb..they sort of inspired me to get started on natural history modelling. I try to keep my stuff different than theirs out of respect for their position in the market. They do get stuff out to you pretty quick so don't let that put you off. I can vouch fot the goat/pig/sheep sets. DAZ are a bit more on the expensive side but their quality and versatilty are (at least for the models I have)excellent. The Antelope set (my favourite) for example gives you 15 different animals with a large range of morphs etc I must confess I've all but finished a fully poseable Peacock which I've dangled in front of DAZ (they've yet to reply_only yesterday)but if they don't bite it'll be up in the market place here. (can I be naughty a post a pic here?_ probably shouldn't_don't want to rile the admins!)have a look over in the product showcase.)

Being in Europe, I have to admit that I held off on ordering from Vista Internet Productions for over a year, since I just did not want the hassles of waiting around and paying extra for shipping. When I finally broke down and ordered Lyne's "Little Birds" package, I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The cost of shipping plus the cost of the product were still way below what I would have paid for models of that quality. And the speed was remarkable. I am seven thousand miles away from Lyne, and I think I had the product in two-three days. So...if any Europeans are reading this, shop at VIP with confidence. You will get first class service and some of the finest quality available for Poser. Kimberly

thanks, pokeydots...he's a mean, wicked chupacabre (goatsucking)beetle. they run around in herds, and use their sharp mandibles to make hole in victims. then, they use their unique mouths to suck them dry of the blood. in the 90's...the chupacabre reports of cattle being bled dry blamed it on aliens. after extensive research, i find it to be the work of bugs. he's a bad one, this guy...if you want him just email me...poppibird1@mybluelight.com. clarification...i made this guy up from my imagination. however, there were reports of "chupacabres" back home in california, and mexico, south america, as well. i guess, since, i really couldn't believe that aliens were sucking the blood out of animals at night...not plausible: i needed a plausable solution. hence, beetleboy was born.
