Description

Title: Mikey Wants Poser Pro 2012 Story: Santa has been going through the Naughty or Nice list and checking it twice. As he decides if Mikey is Naughty or Nice the Elves all notice that Mikey is asking Santa for Poser Pro 2012. Santa doesn't know what poser is, but all the Elves are excited to tell him about it. Santa notices Rudolph walking around sad and calls him to come sit on his lap. He finds out the other reindeers have been making fun of his nose. Santa tells Rudolph he wants him to guide his sleigh... Rudolph trys to hold in his tears of joy when a girl Elf comes up to him and congratulates him... she says to Rudolph: "See, Magical Holidays do exist, you are loved" Inspiration? the 2D contest. I felt like painting, so I painted over every pixel of a 3D image I made. I thought since I Painted over EVERYTHING I could enter this in the 2D contest... It was rejected and I was told it had to be moved to the 3D catagory. Poser6 and Photo Explosion were the two programs I used. ................. 3rd PLACE WINNER ................. Every year I look forward to the Seasonal Contest. This year I thought I'd try something a little different. I made a 3D image with poser6, I decided that I was going to paint over it and enter that one in the 2D.... the thought behind it was since I've been here, 6 years, there has always been 3D images in the 2D - I didn't think that was fair, but it was acceptable. So, I submitted the painted version for the 2D. I was rejected because 3d/rendered images are not allowed in 2D... I stated that if you look back on all the previous years you will see 3D images in there. I told them, ok, put my painted image in the 3D catagory. The contest was closed.... when it was viewable and up for Voting, the last two images both stated they used poser and the last image in the contest was All poser. So, I emailed and complained... I talked a few people before Stacey replied to my complaint. She told me that there were new people who posted the last two images in the contest and didn't know... I told Stacey, I read over the rules and no where does it state a poser or rendered image cannot go into the 2D contest... Rule number 2 even states you can use any program. Stacey told me that the 2D is meant for non rendered images, but she was aware that these images have been in the 2D contest. She offered to move my image from 3D to 2D, but it had already been a few days since the voting started... she offered ma a $100 gift card for the problem. Yesterday I found out I took third place!!! I didn't get Poser Pro Like I wanted, but poser9 is an upgrade from poser6 QUESTIONS........ when I get poser9, is there a way I can download poser9 and all my items from poser 6 goes in it or do I have to download everythings one by one? can anybody tell me what's the differences between poser6 and 9. out of these prizes, who is familiar with them? Can you tell me anything about them? Thanks for the visit, the comment, the faves... thanks for the votes.

Beautiful image dear Mike, excellent colors and composition! Congratulations on 3d place! Very deserved! I used Poser pro 2012 and I think that it is the best version so far. Poser 9 is practically the same thing, the poser pro 2012 could be faster (64 bit), work with the creation of morphs, weight maps and a few other things! I use my runtime separate in another folder named "my runtimes" and into these folders I separate, my props, my materials, my lighting, my characters, etc. Good renders my friend! :-)

Dude! You got some kick ass prizes there, my friend! Big big congratulations, Mike! You really did work hard on this piece of artwork, and it looks great! Glad you took 3rd place after everything you went through! The difference between Poser 6 and Poser 9? Well, I didn't get into Poser until version 8, but the difference is probably going to be like night and day! As far as runtimes go, Alex and Mike have some good information there - you shouldn't have to reinstall everything from the get-go. I actually use external runtimes; in other words 99% of my runtimes are not within the actual poser runtime. I have them separated into different categories such as characters, clothing, props, poses etc. and all of them are on a separate drive. This allows me to make backups of all my runtimes in case anything ever happens, and I won't have to reinstall everything from scratch. With all the content I have now it would take months! Anyway, enjoy all your new goodies my friend! We are looking forward to see what you'll do with them.. And if you have any questions don't hesitate to shoot me a sitemail!

I am just dancing with glee that you got third place!! It sort of ticks me off though, that you had to fight to get there. Rules should be much clearer on what can and can't be used in each of the categories. However, kudos to Stacey for giving you the gift certificate for all you had to go through. Rendo has done so many things wrong lately (in my eyes anyway) that it's really great that someone got treated well, especially someone who's as great as you are, both as an artist and as a person. Love this scene .. the painted one is awesome, the render is awesome too. I love how you did it all, and the story is too cool .. sweet even!! It's all perfect for Christmas!!

Chris, thanks for the comment, I think... I haven't lost my Wife or Everything, I don't know why you said that, but maybe something is lost in translation here.
