in poser texures I bet. and the rar archive corruption problem been fixed..was done in rar version 3 so older ones couldn't read it, switched to zip format. ~grumbling at having to transfer files then upload then delete then re-upload and edit html...~

Lyne, looks much better than I have been able to come up with. ~g~ but then I don't have the patience to work in the terrain editor with tiny brush size for hours on end to reshape a terrain properly. good work, keep it up.

hmmm.....Dark Raven, a glance shows the image is against the tos here, but I"m sure if you went to rotica and posted it in thier x-horror gallery you would get just as much of an uproar. partly because a lot of men are extremely disturbed when seeing a woman capable of defending herself. partly because all violent images cause reactions. just a couple of questions for you: 1) why have the knife strapped to the back of her hand? 2) why not render the blood splatter onto the texture for the victims shoulder instead of having it appear as a 3d object floating beside it? the value of the image in making a statement against or for something is always increased by the realism in the image. though that is just my own opinion.

Guitta, since I'm only really using vue as rendering engine I'm not to worried. now, if vue had more file export and import options, then definately would get newest version and use more. but my main use of 'ware is to model, and vue doesn't allow export of models unless they are terrain objects..to difficult to make models there for me to keep updating vue when it does render fine as is. ~g~

the free stuff at most 3d graphics site have some great room props. even if it isn't a poser prop and would need to be imported poser has a good set of import filters....just look for one you like and download and import it into blank scene..make any scale changes needed....then have poser add to your props list. makes a version of prop, positioned, scaled and textured for poser. I have a directory full of building props that I haven't even managed to import yet...to many of them and runtime is over 2 GB already. ~g~

hmmm...a lot of work on the prop phil, looks great. ~g~ might be easier to cause the hips to sway than alter the prop...side to side and up and down major motion paterns, a bit of forward back as well. I'll work on setting up the screenshot series to show settings for these movements of the hip. if it's to much I'll just make the pose targets for walking pose on it....actually might be easier that way. or both. the walk designer doesn't emulate real motion, which causes the stiffness in the hip section.

Ron, it honestly sounds like poser cross linked some files on you. mmight try scandisk to clean it up if so, if not then start checking every prop and model to find out which one is playing games on you. no easy fix I think

well, I figured out why the hip section of clothing is so stiff, someone, in thier infinite insnity, made the hip movement settings only apply to whole model. the cr2 would need to be completely rebuilt to allow for natural hip movement. like an extra set of transition dials that affect only the hip positioning. something like the camera's pitch, yaw and roll settings added to the hip to allow posing the hip as well. the new models I'm working on will have that built in, so it won't be hard to c&p the settings into the other models cr2's. sorry, I have a thing about making a model that has only humanly possible motions, but all humanly possible motions. new model will be able to wear vicky's clthes, the male model mikes. and at the twist of a dial, posettes and the dorks. ~g~

that would be different..never changed any settings and other props didn't do this. but I'll check it out. ~g~

hmm...had to flip them on import into poser...they were reversed for some strange reason. thanks. ~g~

Vue Desprit will export terrain objects as dxf, poser will import dxf.

for a simple page coffee cup or liquid effects, both available free downloads, aren't bad. coffee cup is free, liquid effects is a trial version, limited time of full use. best off to use either frontpage or netscape composer, a wysiwyg type of page design rather than going really fancy right off the top. when you get more comfortable, you can add bells and whistles like flash animations / sound events. less frustration level that way, trying to get a full multimedia site for your first site will cause a lot of stress

and corel has nice little program that will trace a bitmap and turn it into a vector graphic. not to mention that vector graphic programs will all export the bitmaps needed at whatever resolution you want. ~g~ I once used draw to make my signature, for displaying at bottom of letters as bitmap image, was over 10000 pixels wide by 7000 high. but editing the bitmap of it was horrendous to clean up minor little errors.
