    is it possible to reorder M4's ikey chains without messing up the morphs?

    i'd like to add a body handle between his feet and move the 'hip' to the null.
    or move 'hip' to one of his toes?

    Better to make a new IK chain and leave the existing ones turned off, are you making a tail?

    I guess. You can turn IK's on on one leg and drag the hip around, bend the other leg to suit 8-)

    Nice. What's missing? Hey, is that the free lecture hall over at Renderosity? I saw that last night and thought it was pretty nice for free. I think it's by TrueForm. I wasn't ready for downloading yet. I do that in spurts...err, maybe you could call them binges. :red: I go freebie downloading and spend an hour or two sometimes. I used to do it every day, but I slacked off and now I'll never catch up over at ShareCG. There's just too much new stuff every day. Before I know it a couple months have passed by.

    looking for alternatives to the hip as center of gravity. giving up on the walk designer, too.

    my favorite walking gate is Kai's undead assassin chic. :)

    trying to make up a list of animated poses i should make before putting the scene together. making the building blocks first. :) hopes.
    going through some pose sets. - haz too many. omg. lol

    M4, V4, A2, Vila, Telka, Fon, hmm. TY2, Ben.
    single stride, (run, sprint, walk, up hill, down hill, up stair, down a step, head ache, happy, depressed, relaxed, tense)
    half stride, turn
    teetering stop
    yawn
    sneeze
    sniff
    bad smell

    Selfie in FFVIII does that thing with her feet when you leave her standing too long. iz cute.

    letting poser count between too many keyframes, the movement is too smooth. people don't walk like that.except maybe in a parade.

    voice changer s/w shipped. i know movies are shot out of sequence. i don't have a storyboard. thaz bad, eh?

    Well that's useless. Clicked on check local disk on eh error checking tab, but when I click "start" it says it cannot do it while the disk is in use. huh? What's the point of having the tool if you can't use it? It's like saying "here's a hammer but because you have it in your hand it's already in use so so you can't drive any nails in with it.until you put it down". Who the heck is getting paid the big Zlotys to write this kind of stuff?

    Sounds like you need to run a disk check from DOS before the OS mounts the disk, does DOS still exist? When you see one grab a Linux "Live" distro on CD, you can boot from CD and run disk utilities and so on, very useful if you come across a magazine with a cover DVD. Are there any tech magazines left? Compliant: feel old
    ...I think there are, but haven't been to the newsstand in a long time. Are there any still in business? I know a number of metropolitan dailies have ceased printing actual newspapers and gone totally to on line subscriptions (that will be fun when a big solar flare hits), Heck, you can read magazines, even comic books on line today.

    There is the Command Shell that looks and works like DOS, but not as an actual OS on it's own.

    Yeah, I feel the same way. I remember when my company was evaluating new shipping software that worked in Windoze. We had to run a side by side test with the current software we were using for several weeks, and surprisingly (or not), the DOS application was actually faster because you didn't have to wait for dll calls and screen refreshes. The only function that was simplified by the new software was running the shipping reports at the end of the day.

    You don't really need a storyboard but you at least need a scene list. If you have a script it's really not that hard to put together a list of scenes. Once you have that list you can go back and start adding details for what each scene needs (animations, lighting, sets, props etc).

The only function that was simplified by the new software was running the shipping reports at the end of the day.

    When I worked in a shipping room years ago I ran into the same thing. Actually, it was the Pitney-Bowes salesman that ran into me. He convinced my boss to let him demo the new scale. It was digital rather than microfiche. You put the package on the scale, let it settle, then get the shipping fee for the zone you want. The only problem was, the fees were based on anything a hair over the full pound. So if the package was a little over 5 pounds, it was 6 pounds. I knew that. But the scale had to wait for it to settle before it showed the price. I knew the fees for all eight zones for 1 through 12 pounds, and some up to 16 pounds, where most of our packages were. So I would already know the price as soon as I put the package on the scale. I had set the meter and pushed out a stamp before the scale had settled. The salesman was flabbergasted! He told my boss he'd never seen anyone so fast. Actually, that's the first time I was ever accused of being fast. My boss had a new appreciation for my work, though. And I saved the company a bundle on the scale...he sent it packing.

    ...OK a little annoyed. Purchased the Townhouse last night and it still isn't showing in the DIM Ready to DL tab. I always have it set to most recent order date so it should be right at the top. The order went through OK as I received the confirmation email.

    i finally got my new hard drive. the bad news is that I am having issues copying files from the bad drive to the new drive.

    I spent like two hours trying to boot windows after I installed the new drive. Long story short: First I got a drive not found error. I finally was able to start chkdsk again. The screen now reads: file record segment is unreadable. I'll keep everyone posted.

    I just want my files that I wasn't able to copy to the external drive. Hopefully they are on the part of the disk that doesn't have bad sectors.

    Edit: Somebody mentioned DOS.

    Dos doesn't really exist after Windows 98. Most DOS-based programs do run under 32-bit Windows though. Although the command prompt and safe mode recovery console look like a DOS command screen. Wish I could chat some more but I need to get ready for dinner and check CHKDSK.

    is that different than looking at the product library?

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,212
    edited October 2013

    ...yes. If you have the DIM installed, any regular content purchases should automatically how up in the To Be Downloaded tab.


    Just checked the Product library and apparently this is one that slipped past the conversion a DIM ready .zip. Still has to be manually downloaded and installed (this means if there is ever an update, I'll never know).
