Are you a Poser?

[m0ds]

Flame me, burn me & help me rot in hell - by hopefully having some software I really really need? If you know which program I'm talking about & would be able to post me a copy, please PM me. I'm looking for any version with motion & default human characters available in it. This would be a great help to me for some future projects!

And if you need anything in return just demand it

Fair enough if this thread is deleted, I am being quite naughty asking

Disclaimer - I simply can't afford this prog, and probably won't for another year or two because of my financial situation. So if you could speed up time for me I'd be most greatful, and will have the satisfaction of riding in a Delorean without having to ever set foot in one.

Shame on you . While I usually advocate piracy, I don't condone requests on forums. It shows a sort of lack of creativity. In this day and age, how did you manage not to find it somewhere else ?

And no, I'm not a Poser? I don't like people who use prefabs to make crappy remodels.

[m0ds]

I don't want to download it. Lack of creativity is a very strange phrase to me in this context - I'd rather receive it from someone on CD & have that kind of connection with that person. Remember the days when people wrote letters, and posted gifts to each other? Much more fun than a little blue bar on a peer-to-peer screen You don't beleieve in forum requests, I don't beleive in going blindly behind a companies back and downloading their software. I prefer to be a human being, not a piece of data behind a screen! I didn't find it elsewhere because I didn't look!

And no, I'm not a Poser? I don't like people who use prefabs to make crappy remodels.

Chill

So .. You only want to pirate it if the copy is made especially for you? What about if the person you get it from downloaded their version to start with?
Seems like kind of an odd distinction - sounds more like laziness than any belief system if you ask me ... 

And to stay vaguely on topic: sorry, I'm not a Poser either.

[m0ds]

I'm happy to receive a downloaded version.

As for laziness, you can retract that comment. If you didn't notice I set up a thing called Mittens, which endeavours to get AGSers interacting with each other a little more than via a forum & an IRC channel. Call me old fashioned but I believe in getting people to do that little bit extra. Being sent a CD earns so much more respect than being given a link, y'know? Plus if we ever met I'd be more likely to say "duuuuude!! cheers for the CD! have a beer" rather than mention a link I've long forgotten about and forgotten whoever gave me it. It's a friend thing more than a belief system & it's a novelty rather than laziness.

[MrColossal]

While it may be a friend thing I really don't think this is a forum thing. Personally I feel something like this should just not be on the forums, and I wonder what the other moderators think. Have you asked in IRC?

[m0ds]

No I haven't. Feel free to remove this post - someone has now offered me a copy providing they can find it

I'm sure he wants to use poser for pre-viz work, nothing final.

[m0ds]

Sweet, terminology I've never heard of!

What's pre-viz, andrew?

[Nacho]

My bet goes for "pre-visualizating", or Pre-view.

[HillBilly]

I bet you could make so much money if you lined the models up in sexual positions and posted it on the internet.

[Haddas]

too many people do that.  It looks terrible

Pre-Viz, or Pre Vizualization is like storyboarding, only is done on the computer with crude 3D settings and modeling. It was used extensively on the LOTR production, and on other films of course. It's used mainly for intense CG scenes and such. It's quite cool.

[HeirOfNorton]

Prolly doesn't have all that you need, yet, but have you seen MakeHuman? Nowhere near done, yet, but it's pretty neat so far.
