Years ago, someone made a replacement object for the default "crosshairs" object when setting the focus distance on a camera for depth of field effects.  It was a big flat grid and WAY easier to use than the default target.

I recently updated my version of Poser and it apparently overwrote the replacement object.  I've been using it for so long, I forgot all about it and now find that I can't live without it...heh.

Does anyone happen to have a link to this?  I'm pretty sure I have it saved somewhere, but I can't remember the filename or where to put the replacement in the Poser directory.

Any help would be appreciated.

Could this be what you're looking for?

Maybe?  I tried installing it according to the instructions, but it doesn't appear to do anything.  It's still just the standard Poser crosshairs.

The one I'm thinking of changes it to a large, flat grid.

Thanks though.

The corvas one is a flat plane, and bagginsbill made one that was a large grid and the default combined.  To use you need to replace the geometry in "runtime:geometries:camera folder (make a backup of the original first).

Consider me insane if you wish, but is your reality any better?

Bagginsbill.  That's the one I'm thinking of...thanks.  Unfortunately, it looks like all his freebies are gone so I don't know if I can find a download for it.

Thanks so much for the link...I appreciate it!
