Latest page for my webcomic for those who are interested...
here is a better picture of the Stellaford done in DS 4.5 Pro

White Star lines has a poor memory---or hopes their customers do. [grin]
Does D|S4.5 have problems with Poser scenes? I've been able to import (not load) Poser scene files since the very first release of D|S, with no problems as long as all files are included.
Except for the usual problems with texture file paths following the "what's a runtime folder?" standard...

TheCastillan said he "couldn't find it". I opened the zip, saw the scene file and just assumed that Daz wasn't reading it.
And it won't read any of the textures, either, not with no runtime structure and a hardcoded path of "C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\3D\Starliner\Poser\mainhull.jpg" :roll:
Ah well, shifted all the textures into a folder, put into Textures, fixed all the texture paths in the pz3, imported into D|S3, junked all the Poser lights and cameras, fixed all the materials and set up the windows to "glow" in the Ambient channel. Tweaked a few other things, 10-15 minute fix total. And it looks about as good as the pic upthread. A very nice little model, actually, once you know where to find all the Poser stuff that needs to be tossed so it won't mess up a D|S scene.
Maybe it will be on that ships of the line thread if we are lucky, at some point.
like i said - just load it into POSER - DEBUT - is free - and dont need to know how to use it ( I have no clue on how to use POSER) to do this easy process
then go to file menu and select export - in the options that open up deselect everything but the ship itself
save it somewhere as an obj
then to make sure it is done correctly just either import it into DS with the x reverse and the scale set to 6000 or so
or load it into poseray and then export out again as an object and up the resolution of the textures( which is what I did)
then import that object into DS with the same options as I listed above
once in DS you can save it as a scene, etc.
oh and use the decks-g.jpgs, mainhull-g, stacks-g and one other -g jpg I forget name in the ambient channel and set ambient on those to 100%
that will give the window glows.
For D/S to load .pz3 files, I find it best to put them into the "poses" folder so D/S can "see" them.
It was free, I think it was for a day or a week 'once upon a time' ... Poser Debut costs about $50.

Ah, well that sucks lol

Scratch that one, then.
but yeah place the directory it is in in your libraries.poses dir or pose dir works also
That's right. Placing it in the "pose" folder enables D/S to "see" it, so one can click on it and load it. .pz3 files include a bunch of poser lights and cameras of course which then need to be deleted from the D/S scene but that's not a problem.
Concerning sharecg.com - last time I uploaded some stuff I actually read the latest "by uploading you are...." notice. So HU, one "has to" be able to "make money" off of whatever they're uploading there. In not having a paypal button, not subscribing to any form of pay-per-click, previously I had made it quite clear that no monies were involved with my shares. I have asked of some others who are into sharing free ST items and with the new setup for sharecg.com the majority are claiming that's a no-go. Dave has had my pages "add-free" and they work so much better that way so while I'm looking forward to continued use of the site for shares, won't be for ST shares. I'm considering one of the established ST sharing websites for future items.
i think i will be re directing my trek freebies over to excalipro's forum downloads .
i love sharecg but lets face it i was only using it to upload my trek freebies anyway.
having said that i might open a small content store with them in the future .
Tony"ll be glad to have them. I post just about all of my freebies there. Xcal needs more visability. Not many folks know it even exists.
Excalipro? Where the heck is that?

Has anyone else received a Daz newsletter about the Genesis for Poser package? I did and went to get it, but I've got a question. The DSON Importer comes in both 64 and 32 bit verisons.
I'm running Windows 7 in the 64 bit verison- BUT my Poser 9 is a 32bit program. Which importer do I download?
I'm no expert, but I suspect that you need to get the 32 bit version. The original Poser Physics only worked in the 32 bit versions of Poser, regardless of your operating system. I speculate that this is a similar situation.
Okay. Thanks.
Yes, plugin bit depth must match the application that hosts it, rather than the OS.
OKay.
isnt it groovy those of us that are die hard posers can finally use the genisis platform
way cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
currently free but if you wait too long it will be 24.95 dollars

I admit it: I'm a Poser poseur. [grin] Now, if I can just get that last file to download . . . .
There are a couple of big ones.

Just one big one.
