"I can't take you anywhere, can I?" I've gotten to the part of Poser 6 Revealed where Content Paradise is revealed. So I've been hunting for freebies. ;-) My normal tendency is to go hog wild with these kinds of things, so I have deliberately decided on a policy of getting only the things I need to execute a project I'm currently doing. That should keep my hard drive space relatively free (for awhile anyway.) I've noticed that as the number of props and figures goes up, the amount of time spent in rendering goes up as well. Another reason to reign in putting in too much. I notice that even conforming clothes can have little bits of character flesh stick through it. I do not yet know how that is handled. I susposed it comes under the mysterious heading of "post-work." Posering must have been absolute heck before conforming clothes were invented. I wanted to superhero-size the Arnold figure, but he just kept shredding his business suit (even when the suit was supersized for him). This render took all day to achieve. And most of the day was spent hunting for the props I needed. I have a modest suggestion that is probably not very original but which would benefit vendors as well as end-users. Can't someone come up with a wikki-like database of who is offering what props for which solfware at which websites? It should also show who would like to have a kind of prop if it doesn't currently exist anywhere, and keep a count of how many times a non-existent prop has been requested. The benefit to the end-user who be in getting the right prop quickly. The benefit to the vendor would be not only a direct market link (instead of being lost in all the websites), but also having knowledge of what non-existent props are really in demand. Now I know that vendors are artists too, and basically make was strikes their fancy. But even artists take on 'bread and butter' projects they know will sell well. Having a database like this would show the vendors/artists exactly what obscure-but-in-demand items would sell well. Just a modest suggestion. I thank and appreciate the following for the freebies they have provided: The Flag is from Shoestring Enterprises at http://www.contentparadise.com/us/user/partner.shoestring The flag pole is actually a walking stick from Poser Nation at http://www.sharecg.com/v/3685/3d-model/Walking-Stick-for-Poser The flute is from Adam Thwaites at http://www.most-digital-creations.com/freestuff.htm The drum and sticks are from, I believe, runtime DNA for an xmas 2003 event (I have not been able to relocate the website I downloaded from.) Now see, that's another good application of my idea. It would help with documenting who produced which prop.
