Description
Same story as in the earlier version and all the same credits. Poser simply couldn't load the eventual file for the original version, so it deleted the lights and put in a bunch of odd geometric blocks of colour, instead. The figures still rendered normally, but tweaking them in Poser was a pain in the neck. For this version, I went back to an earlier saved version and did the fifth figure (second from left) from scratch, but I also removed all unused morphs from three of the other figures. Starting at 359Mb, that saved me 13Mb only for the male character, but 187Mb (!!!) between them for the two based on Glamorous Vicki. Does anybody know of a utility that deletes unused morphs? It's very useful, but it is a preternaturally tedious job to get rid of them by hand (mind you, it beats having to start again from scratch).

Great composistion!!!what bummer...I know the feeling, spend hours & hours setting up only to loose it all...NOT HAPPY JAN(message to Poser programmers)And if I was that prisioner, I think I would be quite pleased!!!Cheer's jif3d

you could try saving the finished posed figures as obj. files sometimes this works and sometimes not!!another thing i've noticed with poser is to make sure all lights have the same render setting e.g:all have raytrace checked!if you variate them it frequently crashes!!sorry if this doesn't help any!!

MorphClean at DAZ (I think, was a freebie utility, I think I got it from DAZ) will do a pretty good job. You can run it on the Poser PZ3 file. It removes Unused injection morphs on V3, M3 and Similar. Doesn't always remove them all. But it removes a bunch and that atleas is a help. For Face morphs you can make a single morph out of several by clicking "Spawn morph" then use the remove morph to get rid of the other morps too. All that remains are the expression morphs and your new custom face. Doesn't work for body morphs unless you want to do each body part. NOTE the created morph cannot be posted EVER except in renders you can't share it as this goes against the DAZ legal guff. Cool Pic :-)

Oh oh, not sure I like the way the one in the lead is grinning. And check out the two behind him. Looks like these gals know something he doesn't.

Funnily enough, I thought of the smiles as pretty innocent. The women have finally triumphed after a five-year war and one of the female commanders (the woman right behind the prisoner) finds that her male opposite number is her older brother, allowing her an unmissable opportunity to tease him mercilessly, but that is as cruel as it gets. I suppose that the thing with pictures is that they are impossible to tie down. Anybody, for instance, who looks at these pictures and can't read English will have no way of knowing what my story behind them is and may interpret them in a radically different way from the one I had in mind (quite possibly, a much more imaginative way).
