I'm New, Please Whip Me Gently - By Way Of Thanks...

Post subject: By Way Of Thanks...
Hi, I was a lurker for a lonnng time, even dropped off the forum for almost a year...<br /><br />Then, when I needed help, the forum sprang to my aid.<br /><br />By way of thanks, I've posted a couple of my short stories.<br />---<br /><br />I've three PCs under this desk --a Browser_PC and two CAD_Towers-- all sharing twin 1440*900 19 inch 'flatties' via a pair of KVM switches. <br /><br />The older CAD_Tower, a '98SE system, was where I did all my Poser work, extending a *reluctant* P4 across two 'bottles'. And, yes, I had the 'large memory' patch. I've given up trying to make its now-ancient Matrox card forget twin 'bottles' and work above VGA. I cannot see half the P4 menus, and everything is strettttched. So, I must re-install my P4 disks on the newer XP CAD_PC, copy all the libraries across via USB soap-on-rope. <br /><br />Then I gotta install my shiny new P7 beside it, hope the installer can cope with an external USB DVD drive and no internet connection...<br /><br />Yup, I ticked all the boxes at e-frontier, got 'P7 revealed', 'Practical Poser' and 'Secrets of Poser Experts', too. Plenty of holiday reading !! If P7 installs okay, I may wander over to PhilC's site for his neat DIY Clothing and other toolkits.<br /><br />So, why stay with Posette when I have the wondrous, photo-real P7 lovelies, plus V3/M3 from latest 3D World cover-disk ?? <br />Um, no offense to Posette, but I don't want 'photo-real', and I don't want macro-lens close-ups. That degree of detail implies mega-polygon counts. I prefer low-or 'middling' polygon models because I also use IMSI's FloorPlan and TurboCAD. Neither of them can cope with extravagant meshes or multi-megabyte texture maps. In fact, they use traditional 3DS, not OBJ + UV mapping, so keeping commonality of props etc requires lateral thinking, IrfanView and Zoltan's eponymous 3DOC...<br /><br />I made a range of detailed 3DS vaults, arches and doors for my Medieval-ish project, which sadly stalled when FP_8 hit OS limit and began disk-thrashing with 2Gb RAM to spare. If anyone needs them, PM. Sorry, you will need to apply your own stone-textures.<br />[url autourl=1623629663]http://www.flickr.com/photos/14100181@N07/[/url autourl=1623629663]

Will way of thanks I have posted a couple of my short stories accomplish your objective? Would you like to be able to see it? Hmm. Why must you re-install my P4 disks on the newer XP CAD_PC copy all the libraries across via USB soap-on-rope?

Hi, Posy ! <br />My CAD_PCs are NOT networked, as a firewall / virus checker would steal too much resource. Downloads are scanned on this Browser_PC then, with cable modem disabled, files are ported via USB link... <br /><br />How did you write your reply before I posted ???<br />Ah, as SysOp, can you see preview posts ??<br />That is neat...

It's not *so* easy <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> ... Somehow, this is *really* a strange place, and you don't have even seen "what" lives in the cellar <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/new_shocked.gif" alt="" /> ... <br /> <br /> Thank you for popping up Nik, and <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/viannen_01.gif" alt="" /> again... Our site is a little thing, its activity is a like a wave, sometimes high, sometimes low depending on what we're doing in the real life ...or, better on our lazyness <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/connie_ashamed.gif" alt="" /> ... <br /> <br /> You've an interesting system there, but that firewall is not working properly if you can't write " " " and " ' " it should not work so much as a filter... <br /> <br /> Thank you for your short stories... I've a lot of them to read <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/redembarrassed.gif" alt="" /> ... My problem is the language, sometimes you don't have fun if you find a hard time for translating... (ah, sorry for my bad broken english <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/connie_ashamed.gif" alt="" /> ) <br /> <br /> BTW I'm jealous because you can watch TOP GEAR live on sunday <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> which is my favourite show <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/tvlurk.gif" alt="" /> ...
