I am SO glad you're back!

I haven't been here in awhile. I've been busier than the proverbial one-legged man.

I noticed that the forum went down. I read the thread, so I know why. But now it's back!!!

I am posting mainly because something very WEIRD happened to my runtime. Dawn SR2 is gone....

The geometries file is there. The textures are there. The mat files are there. Her Glam Ponytail is there.

But the cr2 and associated files are gone... I know I didn't delete them. The HiveWire folders are all intact. But the folder with her cr2 is gone. I am at a loss for words. I can't buy the latest and greatest. I am just so bummed out right now.

If you had it originally, you should be able to download it from your "Downloadable products" page. I'll give it a try and see if it still works... Be right back.

Ok, I did just check it, and it works. If you sign in to your HiveWire Store account, go to the "My Account" page, and then click on the link to "My Downloadable Products." If you downloaded it once (even the free version, like I did), the link is still there. Hope this helps, and welcome back!

As an afterthought, if you still have the geometry files, textures, etc., when you unzip the Runtime folder, just click the "replace all" when you are asked what to do with the duplicate files.

You're very welcome. Just an idea... I keep all the zip files of ANYTHING I ever download; I do put them on an external drive to save clutter space, but that way if one of the sites crashes, runs out of download tries, or something like that, at least I have backup...
 

Rokket

Yeah, I normally do that too. But for some reason I didn't bother last time. I am downloading her again. You can bet this one will be backed up!

And thank you so much again! Dawn was about to become a major player in my online comic until she didn't show up for the audition. I will give her another chance of course.

Welcome back, Rokket! We're happy to be back, too!!

And thanks, VB, for stepping in there to let him know he can just go to the product page and re-download everything :)

Even if a product is no longer available, if you purchased it (even, like this, a "free" purchase), it's available for re-downloading if you ever need to.

Thank you all! Dawn did indeed pass the audition. I'd made a Robocop outfit for her that I couldn't distribute because I'd used her clothing resource kit to make it. I simply changed a few things on that and now she has a place in my story. Her scale compared to the Poser natives makes her a perfect figure for the role.

I am going to do a render later on tonight and post it up here later. I am currently in Korea, so it's Wednesday evening here. I will have something to share in a few hours.

Thanks once again for all the help. It is the one thing that is missing from some other sites, and slowly going away in others....

Here she is. My new character. She doesn't have a name yet and I am still working on her back story. She will be tricked into helping my main villain until she figures out what he is. For now, she's an unwitting villain, very powerful and very fast.

And here we have a close up of her eye piece and the textures of the under armor. This costume came together really fast, I remember, and I enjoyed the whole process. If course, having the clothing resource sped it up!
