Great image Diane.....I get those black spots all the time in P4 and I guess a lot of the old downloads at Poserworld have them too, i don't know what they are but if I import the obj into cinema then export again they go away?....Tina do they always appear in the same place?.....Steve

I just heard from Rena and guess what she's doing to relax.....yep textures..what an amazing woman....Steve

I like it it has a certain something I can't put my finger on...she looks very reagal as if its an official portrait ...Steve

sorry forgot my mail address its kinda lost in the thread above..Steve steve@poserworld.com

Diane and Dave will you both send me a mail please so I can add you to the mailing list ready for when we start....mazdak it people like you we need please join in...Radart I a agree totally if we don't try we gain nothing. as for more info I don't really know where its going to lead my first thought was that shops ect advertising on the web could have virtual cat walks changing rooms ect. maybe a site mascot ...big chunky guy welcoming you too www.woodworkersworld.com (don't try that link LOL) stuff like that..this is the stuff we need to discuss.....Steve

I know exactly what you mean bloodsong this is what I thought when i did my first canoma/poser pic so i tryed the same image with the picture and there really is a big difference, the lighting is one ...I have cast shadow off on this only because I haven't mastered how to make them look right yet....this scene isn't maybe a good example but if you tryed the cottage scene the figure can interact with walls and garden seats ect.....Steve

Well when I first got it I found it tricky, but once I read the manual :o) it got easier...the trick is to get the right image...for example the one above is great for that kind of scene but not really good if you need to move the camera around like say to the side of the mill...I have a couple of others in the canoma forum and a few you can download at www.poserworld.com Steve

Don't worry about the copyright Beth its not about selling morphs ect just images.....services depends on what the client will want its all still ifs and buts at the moment..check this site out http://www.landsend.com/cd/home/ you tell it what size you are and then it models the clothes for you...thats one example...maybe a person could pick an item out and see it walked across the cat walk with a photo of the clothing you can create a very good likeness of the item....Steve 3 on the list now :o)

I mentioned this in a previous post if this takes off then Zygote and metacreations would be consulted , and if a client needed a model rather than just an image/video then they would need to pay the extra for the model, if this works out and other models are needed i think zygote will be the first folk to speak to coz i don't think any of us have created a detailed enough human figure for this kind of use...but we'll never know unless we try.....Steve 2 mails anymore takers :o)

But Jeff you could say that of any 3d figure or object, given enough skill and time it could be recreated....its even possible for real life objects look at titanic made in lightwave....Thanks newc for the heads up...we now have the copyright sorted so are we going to do it :o).....Steve

Nothings decided yet just kind of putting out feelers but I'm thinking male and female and each person does what they know best..one for clothes another for skin textures....maybe we have a make up artist on the forum..we just gotta get our heads together and see what we come up with.....Steve

I see your point Jeff but if say we used a character from here then the person that owns the cr2 is due the cash as he owns the cr2 ....I think if this idea is a go we would need to get in touch with zygote and MC to sort this stuff out...personally speaking if we are going to do it we gotta do it above board and legal.....Steve

Yes Jeff any images video created are yours to sell or not as you wish...I think your probably right Grey but if a client decided he would need the actual model then the cost of building him/her from new would pass on to the client...I reckon anyway again its this sort of thim that needs ironing out.....Steve

I'm meaning just images Jeff obviously anyone invloved with the 3d side (figures wise)is going to have to own poser. this is the sort of thing we need to thrash out if we are going to try and make it work....its been said a lot in the forum that if all the talent put its heads together a lot could be done (and I agree).....so lets try...Steve

You can get loads of poser3 short dresses at www.poserworld.com I like short dresses LOL.......Steve
