    In my prior Miranda class bridge renders, the chairs were a placeholder, an early chair I did a long while back. Tonight I finished making the ridiculously complex chairs for Miranda class bridge. Yikes, they don't make it easy to make a simple chair.

    Looks nice. Do the arms move too?

    Yes, I figured out how to do that with my secondary tardis console room so I will set them up with rotations when it's done.

    This is a still frame from my first attempt at animation. Poser 9 does have animation capabilities- which you can use if your system has the resources or you're willing to wait days for a few seconds of animation. What I did was render the indiviual frames- around 200 by the time I was done, then I took them into Photoshop for some work. After that, I took all of them into a program called MonkeyJam that performed a compuerized verison of traditional animation. I then took that AVI file into a video editing program and added the music.
    I had to open a Youtube account to post it- all the other sites I deal with were either too elitist about who could post animation, or they said the file was too big.
    The clip's only 35 seconds long:

    Not bad. I would have made the imagery visible at about the three second mark instead of the six second mark. It's been my observation that most editing cuts in the U.S. are based upon about three seconds, with faster and slower cuts made for a specific effect.

    There's always next time. It was a learning experience trying to get everything in sync.

    Yeah. Synch is the hardest part. We can tell if it's even a single frame off synch. You have my respect.

    Thank you, sir. :-)

    I always try to do some kind of different project between books. Trying to avoid burn-out.

    Very good esp for a first attempt!

    Yes those files get very large very fast. In Windows 7 it's possible to run the old Vista Windows Movie Maker [I'm not into M live stuff] and while I haven't done it for some time now, there used to be a way to ask it to save out the clips somehow cutting down the size. It could take a few tries to get the quality "passable" for youtube but was great for trimming off a few mb to get them in under the limit.

    Well, the file size on this was 3.76MB- which I don't think is all that big. But some of the sites thought otherwise.

    No, that's 'small'. I've managed to make clips a few seconds long that were 3 digits big. And one that was only a few minutes hit over 1gig. I didn't even try to upload that one lol ...

    It shows in your work; everything I've bought of yours so far has been pretty darn close to perfect, I can only imagine the almost infinite number of tweaks you've done to get there, or how many times you pause before submitting the final for one last check...

    It's called Wardrobe Wizard. Sometiumes you can get lucky- like I did with the Space Command Jacket for V2 and M2- which wil conform to V3 and M3 without conversion. But that's rare. Usually if you want to use one figure's clothing on another figure, you have to convert it. It's the only way.

    Try running the outfit through CrossDresser... (It appears Wardrobe Wizard doesn't support M4 - he isn't listed here. Even if it does, XD costs less.)

    M4 is purchased seperately through PhilC- the person who created Wardrobe Wizard. He has addional files for all kinds of base characters on his site:

    Actually, as of Poser 7, Wardrobe Wizard comes with Poser as a Python script. If I remember right, It still has to be registered to actiuvate it, but it is part of the package now.

    Poser 4 stuff in general should all work perfectly well, although something that old might look a bit crude compared to anything made in the last few years. Also, the materials might need a bit of tweaking to look better.

    The actual problem is which character it's made to fit — if this doesn't match, and you aren't a modelling/rigging expert, then something like Crossdresser or Wardrobe Wizard are your only choices. And as mentioned upthread, even this doesn't always work, some types of clothes just don't take auto-conversion very well. The only option in this case is pretty much rebuilding and rerigging.

    Perhaps someone with Wardrobe Wizard or Cross Dresser would be willing to do the conversion?
