Thanks Steve, I did prior to setting up the model in Poser (to create the texture map)I had presumed that poser didn't alter the base obj file and that the cr2 did all the poser specific work (ps I'm new to the internal workings of Poser)I will have another look at the obj file in UV mapper and report back.

Steve you're a genius! I didn't really understand what I was doing but had a fiddle with all those (previously undiscovered) 'tools' functions in UV mapper pro and it seems to have solved the bad media problem (I had a few facet and vertices problems)_ My only problem is that small parts of the model look transparent in the poser preview (it renders ok) Does this mean the facet normals are round the wrong way?_ I guess if so I'll have to select them individually in UV mapper and switch them. I'm going to have to do some serious homework on UV mapper_ I hadn't realised it did all that problem solving!!!! Look forward to Lobster thermidor on the Renderosity menu!

Yep bloodsong_ looks like Steve was a bit heavy handed with his smoothing iron :) Its funny this inverted normals thing_although my model exports fine now and when rendered you cant see the problematic facets_they are there! The strange thing is when I imported the model in to Cinema 4d (which in facet view mode show the normals as sticky-out-things) they all seem to be pointing the same way. Ah well I suppose the moto is "If it works don't try and fix it"

Nyyyaaaaggggghhhhhhhh Dave :-) HEZZZZUPPPPP !!! see next thread! Nigel ;-)

Yep sorry_ getting very parochial here. Two talking chameleons featured very prominantly in Budweiser Beers last but one advertising campaign (here in the UK anyway)Its also the 'Official Beer' of the 2002 World Cup. Still I wouldn't want you to get the wrong impression!_ Its because of the natural beauty and interest of this animal that I was inspired to create the model rather than a great love of an American brewed lager-beer!!

Did you watch the game_ they played out of their socks! Nice to hear from you Dave Nigel (Malmesbury, Wiltshire) :-)

Dunno we Brits have gotta stick together! I shall be an honary Irishman tomorrow. Didn't the USA do well (he said with half an eye to the cross Atlantic market_no but they really did_well played USA) Is this the right forum for these discussions? I'll shut up now or I'll get an ear bashing from all those who couldn't give a tuppence! ps the Bud's up there_ on the house!

Fantastic Lyne! Yet another superb model_ I'm really enjoying the others I've purchased so this'll have to go on the wish-list too!

Yep I think this is a largely positive change. I can't see anywhere to change the status between 'add-on' 'free-standing' on my edit form though_ am I missing something,Clint? Another observation (other than that disembling preview page) on our home page 'featured free stuff' section the new database fields don't display.

A button has now appeared (or the mist has cleared from my eyes) to choose free-standing / add-on..Great! Also discovered that the featured free stuff page_ stays the same until you 'refresh' Duh!!! :-)

Interesting! I had at one point debated creating an internal organ set to sit within Poser figures_ (I'm a medic and had thought it would be incredibly useful for medical illustrators and perhaps visualisations for patient education/ biology texts etc) I don't think accurate high detail anatomical models would be that easy unless one used something like the A.D.A.M CTscaned model as a basis for modelling. I'm not sure the market would be large enough to make this a 'cheap' project! I agree that Rhino wopuld be a good place to start!

Wow darkpheonix they look good! Certainly saved me wasting my time attempting to model that!(tho I note its only musculo-skeletal) no vascular/nervous-s/respiratory etc

I'll leave it to the experts!!

LadyJaiven, thanks for highlighting this_ I also sit in both camps. As a vendor I'm always delighted to recieve positive feedback _ not least because as a purchaser of products its one of the things I certainly look for (no merchant I guess publicises his/her 'negative' comments, if there are any_but a string of glowing accolades tells me that others think this is a worthwhile product) So the person who leaves a positive comment in my book deserves thanks_ they don't have to go to the effort. I just jolly well hope I've lived up to that ideal_ sometimes time gets in the way!!!

I think he was an infrequent (? new) member so may not have known the 'ropes'. Anyway we've made contact and he's seems happier! I guess I ought to start using the function in Outlook as well!
