Sure hope the drive can be recovered at some point.
Enjoy the Superbowl! Not a football fan, but we'll be watching with our neighbors (more for a social thing - they're big fans, particularly her) even though our team (Seattle Seahawks) didn't make it to play this year....
They can pull the disc out of the broken case and put it in another case. As long as the disc isn't damaged, the data can then be retrieved.

My husband had to have a disk recovery many years ago when an HD died and they were able to get all of the data on the disk off. Was expensive back the but it was worth it.

In other news, I got the Gutenberg Press completely UV mapped. I changed around some of the materials I used on it, but they are still procedural. I don't know what it takes to create materials for DS, thought. Would templates help out? If I went that route, it might take me awhile to create them.

How many different textures/shaders did you use? It might be easier just to texture without templates and just have a textures folder in the runtime with pose files to apply. I'd be happy to do that if there weren't too many different textures to apply.
By the by, we have Super Bowl all over our news today. Considering NZ doesn't even PLAY American football, it's quite funny to see. Did your team win?

Denver Broncos won. I don't much care about football, but friends of ours have a sort of social gathering thing each year for the Superbowl. This is funny, because as near as I've evet been able to tell, the only interest they have in the whole circus is bets placed on silly stuff like how many points will be scored by the winning team, or how many penalty flags will the refs throw down during the game...LOL The rest of the time they usually just spend socializing.
Anyway. I am home now. Wishing I had not shut down my computer before we left... it's been trying to boot for the last hour and a half. And now, it's finally booted, but the damn thing keeps hanging...
I an apparently still trying to fix the problems caused by the Poser graphic driver crash. Task manager continues to hang, UI hangs, unhangs, then hangs again, disk keeps shooting up to 100% with nothing even open.... sighs I don't even know what to do with this anymore, and I'm kind of wishing now that I had not tried to do Nataani's Poser conversion... that's what caused all of this.
At this point, I'm about ready to try and do a complete reformat... which is not fun, because this laptop has no actual cd/dvd drive. She was beautifully stable until Poser crashed the graphic driver... she's been barely useable ever since. :/
{Edit}
And now, apparently the damn thing requires a scan and repair of the internal HD after a full system lock up! If I have to do a complete refomat/HD wipe just to fix the damage P10 caused, then it's probably safe to say that I will never install another copy of Poser higher than Pro2010 on this OS again...

Poser materials = DS shaders
The two do NOT cross translate between programs, but they occupy the same (more or less) role within their native programs. Poser procedural materials do not work in DS, and DS shader settings do not work in Poser.
If the item has separate material zones, we can build shaders for it inside DS.
Or, alternatively, if the item has image-based texture maps/UV maps, we can use image maps to texture it, and build supplemental shaders/materials for it.

Glad things are moving along!
I had to root for Denver as I have friends in Colorado

HORRORS lol. Nah, I'm not a real football fan but I do cheer for the home team. I'm like Seliah, except my neighbor is a yelling at the tv type fan and she makes us laugh listening to her. No betting..just cheering, eating and socializing.
The 12th man, for those who don't know (and likely don't care lol) is cause there are 11 players on each team maximum on e field at a time. The fans are the "12th man" or as Seattle calls them, the 12s

Here it is with the new materials applied. They are all procedural. There are 21 different textures here. I changed some of them when I UV mapped it. I am so tempted to remodel this. I saw A LOT of rookie mistakes when I was mapping it. But the model is a few years old, and I've come a long way since then.

Here is a look at the other side. I was going to rig this, but I don't really have a clue how it works. I mean, I have a rough idea, but I've never seen one in real life. I had to take liberties with the construction because no two pictures of this on the internet were the same. I used a scissor lift for the base and worm gear for the press.
I hope you can create textures for it in DS. I am going to upload it as a Poser prop because that's what I created it for. The only plus is, most of the material zones would use the same texture. There are only wood and bronze pieces on this model.
Oh, we can definitely make materials for it, since it has separate material zones.
It's really an interesting piece of machinery. I can see how it might be useful for Steampunk or Victorian/historical themed renders.
