*snicker*
My "One of those days" was early this morning at work. We ran out of cash. Had to tell 6 people wanting to cash their payroll checks that they'd have to come back in an hour or so. Our bookkeeper needed to go over to the bank after it opened and buy some cash.

Can't do that. Although I did work in tiny increments for safety's sake. But I'm teaching tomorrow, so I have classes to prepare for.

Meh- even if they do end up getting Gen into Poser, I don't want it. I don't like the mesh, I don't like the system, I don't want to spend my hard earned money on crap that I see as so-so at best. *flop.........and goes to read because he's a nosy b*stid anyways.*"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.

Good riddance on Genesis. And I actually feel the same way about LuxRender. It's lovely for landscapes and still lifes, but I can count on one hand the number of renders involving skin in Lux that I thought looked good. :/
-
Haven't seen any Poser/Luxrender work with figures, really. And to tell you the truth, if I want beautiful landscapes, I'll use Vue, thanks. Besides, you have to re-shader to some degree for every render engine you use. It's such a pain.
And, oh hai, there's SkinVue! Well, that's settled. *tosses Luxrender back into the Internet*

"Genesis is very interesting but at this point in time we don't see it as an open or mature, stable system, and we will not provide direct support for it in Poser."
Which is exactly what I said would happen back when Genesis first came out, and everyone - including Dan Farr when I told him in e-mail - blew me off.
Ah, well.
The bottom line is that it's not in SM's best financial interests to support Genesis. To the contrary, it's in their best interests to let DAZ sink or swim on their own, doing their own coding-work to make the figure work in Poser9/Pro2012.
Why?
Well, if DAZ successfully makes Genesis compatible with Poser, SM wins because Poser becomes even more versatile with an even broader array of support, and they make even more sales. Conversely, if DAZ fails to do so, SM still wins because DAZ eventually folds without the Poser users (that's half their market that's stopped buying their new Vickie-doll because they can't use it), and all the Studio users eventually have to switch to Poser, so they make even more sales. In short, it's a Win-Win for SM if they do nothing.

Sorry for the extended absence. Life's been kinda busy/inconvenient lately and I've been getting backhanded by whatever it is that's been going around locally over and over again. >.<
For those of you who keep track of this sort of thing, I've rescued my freebie compendiums from the Daz Forums to our forums here in the new resources section. I'll be keeping them updated here as best I can.

Well, the owners over at DAZ likely blew off all sorts of people warning them that they were de-constructing the sky, as it were. And hey, it's a non-issue. Now we have THREE ways to rig figures: Sphere zones, weigh maps, and hybrid--if I understand correctly. Our choice. Nobody's *making* anyone choose one over the other.
I mean, the philosophy of keeping content development wide open so that the larger community can work with it is sound, both in business and just in a way of keeping things rolling.

Also, weight-mapped rigging seems to be using the morph brush, basically. Did I post that link on the subject?

I'm happy with my little old Gen4s and will be happier once I get them weightmapped. It's all good.*ponders whether to post that link over there*GRIM - Oh noes! What happened to the phone? I think I just heard it splash down.
-
Oh- THAT link. :D I had two seconds to peer at it before all hell broke loose. Somehow Verizon decided to sever a few lines on 'accident' and resulted in one of our sister companies to re-route the incoming calls (mind you---ALL OF THEM, no matter the # )into our department. Upon re-routing.... every time the phone rang, ALL of the phones rang. Now, imagine if you will...
Close to 70 phones are on about 70 desks in this department alone. Every phone has at least three lines that are inbound ready. Each is associated with one different number- one direct, one 800, and one general.
So when one call comes in, all the phones ring. At the same time. Until someone picks it up. Not such a bad thing- until you figure that for this company we average on a daily basis close to 1000 calls a day department wide.
Imagine that."I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. " Mark Twain. -
*Ooooooooooooooooooooooouch!* Holy cow.... one phone ringing in my unit drives me batty, I cannot imagine 70. With three lines each. ALL. AT THE SAME. TIME.*cringes*
-
*boggle-blargle*
Ick. I hope the phone situation gets sorted out quickly.

OMG, phones. I worked in a *small* company, where I participated in help desk--ALL the phones rang when incoming calls came, and for the longest time we had NO designated official help-reception person. Everybody would answer. Every five minutes. And I still had other work to do.
I could not think straight at the end of the days. Two years of this. Yeah, I feel ya, hon.

All of the phones ring at my work place too. Usually the checker at register one has to answer it and then get on the PA to announce which dept or person has a call on either line 1 or line 2. Or announce that customer so-and-so has a call at register 1.
