yeah why not allow corpses to be members? Jaqui, Undead Eternal Member of the Pyronecrobeastiality Club. ~g~ don't ask, I have really wierd friends in r/t...make Doc look tame we does. we's even got a cd out "Seven Black Sheep" ~g~ and I been dead for 8 years now..nine in January.

didn't you know? the personal force field has a nuclear power supply built right into the belt. ~g~ or bracelet. (Asimov founation trilogy, "a reactor the size of a wallnut" is the line, Foundation and Empire I think is the book.) ~g~

habware's plugins for max work great. import and export. vue often has problems with large scenes, by importing each onject one at a time you can scale it and save as vue objec, much easier on vue. when they are all in .vob format, then set up the scene and save frequently. I don't know how many times complex scenes crashed in vue...usually with extremely high polygon counts...like well over 500,000,000 polygons.

petrik, no idea, had some asking for simple file conversions..only one really wanted it done. ~l~ hater to say it, but there are a lot of spaceship models already available, and even some interior sets ready for use. change tex and maybe shift pieces around, but not hard to get what is needed for a scene.

I have a hard time accepting that a prop or model can be copyrighted in such a way that an image created with them does NOT solely belong to the person that compiled the pieces and rendered it. not saying that the copyright on the prop or model doesn't belong to the person that created it, but that has no legal bearing on what is done with an image rendered by someone else. the image is not the prop or model. just my opinion.

oh, and cpp can also be a c programming language file. just as obj can.

actually, corel Trace will turn any bitmap into a vector graphic. Corel Draw will save a vector graphic into 3ds or dxf formats. can be done to turn a jpeg into a 3d object. to test it, I rendered posette, saved the image and did the trace, woulnd up with really nice vector graphic of her that I was able to edit the mesh in max afterwards. might be other apps to do the same thing.

~grumbling~ i want my laptop back it doesn't crash on me like Stormrage's tower does.

was just re-installing everything after a crash and had trouble with it myself..until I installed max. ~l~ silly me thinking it was for poser not max.

yup, use morph manager, stand alone single exe designed to transfer or remove morphs from the cr2 files. you can get it at 3dcc.com in the miscelaneous downloads. ~g~

the jersey and shorts can be scaled up long sleeved pullover and bermuda shorts, you would just have to make textures for them for the uniforms pads are basically squished squares, again, mapping the texture onto them. the helmet is a cut sphere, mask is the face of a poser figure with details removed. some quick and dirty ways to make what you need.

you have to have max installed to install the plug in. I got the same error message, until after I re-installed max while rebuilding the comp after a crash.

~g~ erc is also what Ajax uses for the "Easy Pose" he has a full tutorial on thralldom for making props with it. as for lights, I use Vue to render, as at most two lights needed, the main sun/moon light and a point light or two for effects..light glowing streetlights. instead of playing around with huge quantities of lights in poser, work with terrain generators to render, they usually have a lot better rendering engine, as terrains are extremely complex objects, the lighting needs to be global, so it is set up that way. just wish terragen was up to importing obj's ect...there is the best renderer I have seen. Stormrage has looked at it and agrees, best rendering engine out there. cull's backfaces of objects, since they won't be visible or affect the scene, and renders from horizon towards the camera.

spyder, ajax is right, the fingernails on a posette texture map are down in the square of colour right under her hands. not actually on the fingers. with Vicky they are up by the top, the toenails are in the bottom right corner of the body map, not head map.

now wait a minute Lord Satyr I'm only..um well okay forget it. ~wink~ at 37 I remember petticoat junction..though as reruns. I'm betting that's how you remember it too. ~g~
