Wow, this news must be hot off the press, about the new content to be included in Poser 11.
Release date has been moved up to Sept 19, Thursday of next week.
I feel like Andy's drone trip was sort of pointing to the future direction of Poser 11, in a comical sort of way...haha.

 

[Linda B]

Wow, that's a lot of free Hivewire content considering.

 

[skylab]

That's the truth! And no wonder they were spending time testing what Jenn had described as "new content". That was a lot of work to get ready by a short deadline.

[skylab]

Haha....love that expression!

 

[Terre]

Those additions are a very good reason for pushing back the date! Good news indeed for many people.

I was getting concerned that we'd be left for no animals at all....and had no idea that we'd have Hivewire, the animal factory, within Poser

Andy's playing with the pony already

 

[Dani Foster Herring]

Thank you for the kind comments! Great pictures, everyone!

Did you read that Snarly is considering updating his scripts...I thought that was wonderful news. I love his snowmachine and have used it in many of my winter renders.

A Harsh Winter Predicted from 2013...named for the little Woolly Bear caterpillar. I love doing little folksy still life renders. *smile*

Hey Dani....now I just love the Harsh Winter Predicted render....that's right up my alley! Where in the world did you find that old sink, and that wonderful open window. I tried looking for something like that for an open window through which Andy could fly back home into the Poser 11 DVD box. And that cat curled up on that corner table....he looks real. Love it! My brother tells me I'm old fashioned because I prefer things like this instead of modern, digital-controlled appliances. I like things to be warm and homey, not like the current modern trend of making the home look similar to a sterile business environment. Sometimes watching HGTV can be traumatizing for me....haha....since they attack and destroy everything "dated", when my mind is working on a solution to salvage it, and make it functional again I also struggle with all the beautiful homes that are having walls destroyed in pursuit of "open concept"...and I'm thinking, they'll have a great time, year's later, scrubbing down their living room, since walls help contain the effects of cooking on the rest of the house....and in the case of a house fire, there are no doors to shut, and the place would go up like a grass shack. My brother rescued me from a house fire when I was very young...and I still remember it...and because we had doors to shut and ways to contain it, my parents, working frantically together, put it out by themselves...it destroyed a kitchen wall, but they repaired it themselves. So sometimes "old fashioned" is based upon experience

Well, time to install last night's beta build.

Dani, check your email

I think I failed to post the ShareCG link to the Poser pets project, so I'll so it here. It's been surprisingly well-received for older content on the first day online. I guess many folks are still using older versions of Poser.

Set of 11 poses for the Poser Legacy Pets that can be found in the Poser 7 and 8 Legacy content, including the Poser 8 dog, the cat, the dog, the original Poser dog and the original Poser cat. The Legacy Pet Poses should be applied AFTER unchecking IK on the legs...for the original dog and cat (the oldest models), this means unchecking all four legs, the later models were just the hind legs. Having IK applied is what causes the unusual twisting and distortion of the legs.

Ahhhh, I think I found the sink in Dani's render....now for the window....where's that window.

1920 SINK

 

[Terre]

Good morning. This is looking very promising for the future.

 

[skylab]

Dani, yes, I did see where it was mentioned that Snarly may start updating his scripts again....and yes, I think that's great. Here's an oldie animation, using Snarly snow on a mailbox, along with animated flurries : )

 

[Dani Foster Herring]

Yes, that's the sink! Lots of good oldies there. I'll have to do something with the icebox...looks a lot like the one that my grandparents had down the shore.

I opened the file to see what kitchen I used...it's this one.

[Dani Foster Herring]

Wow, blessed that your brother was nearby!

 

[skylab]

Thanks for the link Dani....I'll put that in my wish list for the next sale I've been looking through my stuff for anything that has a window that opens...I found a couple things, but none as pretty as that window in your render, with that design trim.

And yeah, my parents sent my brother upstairs to haul me out of bed...it was right before sunrise, and the fire was spreading up the kitchen wall, which was right under my bed upstairs. So he came upstairs, snatched me, and then ran outside with me. That way my parents could keep splashing buckets of water on the wall until the fire was extinguished. Thankfully that old house was well made, so only the one wall had to be replaced.
