(I've since switched to DAZ Studio which is much friendlier.)<BR/><BR/>So to break the ice the first thing I showed them was how to load a figure then load and conform (fit) a skirt. Then be sure the skirt is selected and hit CTRL-D.<BR/><BR/>That's the Drop to Floor command, and the skirt would drop to the floor. (just showing the importance of selecting the item you want to work with.) And it always made everyone giggle.<BR/><BR/>Then one of their first asignmnets was to report the weirdest thing that Poser did. And the reports were usually hilarious. It got the students relaxed and able to laugh instead of getting frustrated when weird stuff happened.<BR/><BR/>All the human figures load bare nekkid. It's an art program and the original purpose was to use these instead of arranging a studio and hiring models to draw. Load a figure, pose it, and use it as your model.<BR/><BR/>The program has expanded considerably since the first version over a decade ago. Not it's got clothes even! :)Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069871911665125873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1137767299000546132006-01-20T07:28:00.000-07:002006-01-20T07:28:00.000-07:00ericNo. Now I feel left out.

Sexual explicit stuff has never been allowed at the sites I visit and post to. There _are_ sites specifically for that using the same software I do. But I never joined up.<BR/><BR/>No photos...this is all 3D. So there isn't even the possibility of a human being harmed by having a photo taken.<BR/><BR/>(Though some humans do pose, nude, for photographers who use the photos for making skin textures for the 3D models.)<BR/><BR/>My first version of Poser had a little bug in the export routine. The male model was anatomically correct and you could toggle the 'parts' on and off. Well, I made myself a character and dressed him then exported the object for use in Bryce.<BR/><BR/>Imported into Bryce and his, um, parts were sticking out of his jeans. LOL<BR/><BR/>It's like me and guns.

The story of Soddom and Gommorah is there because the lesson had already been learned, several thousand years ago, about hedonism's relationship to the life arc of a gathering of people as an entity. Used to think it was just a taboo related to keeping folks working on the crops. Later, I realized what exactly 'working on the crops' meant about trying to help build a better future.buddy larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760847873026506988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1137705099450803342006-01-19T14:11:00.000-07:002006-01-19T14:11:00.000-07:00Okay.

Ever?</I><BR/><BR/>It depends on your defintion of porn I guess, but it may also be a question of, how can I put this delicately, age. Or at least the circles you move in.<BR/><BR/>Modern pop culture is very pornified. The "Girls Gone Wild" videos are an example. Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson have starred in their own porn videos. A lot of rap and hip-hop culture is unbelievably crude; not just the lyrics, but the music videos and the behavior of the people who go to the nightclubs. Having a girlfriend in the porn business is considered very cool for todays male music stars. And it seems to be a requirment for a woman in the pop music world to be good looking and be willing to pose in a mens magazine. Really, porn is hard to miss.<BR/><BR/>There are some interesting books which have come out recently on the porn topic. I'll hunt up some links later.flenserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864178703173384289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1137704489914959172006-01-19T14:01:00.000-07:002006-01-19T14:01:00.000-07:00Who was it that said when it came to porn he would...Who was it that said when it came to porn he would know it when he saw it?terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1137703975971471532006-01-19T13:52:00.000-07:002006-01-19T13:52:00.000-07:00buddyWe're talking about different things.

Loosely used, a lot of advertising and a lot of violent video games aim at the base instincts. <BR/><BR/>For example, the kids at the local high school are passing around a movie called "The Devil's Rejects". It's all Goth--glorifying slasher-murder, meth, and hard sex. No, I didn't watch it--I googled it. Some guy named Rob Zombie, 40-something, makes these movies for 15 yr olds. The kids don't think twice about it--it's 'just a movie'. <BR/><BR/>I personally feel like this stuff should be as it was in the 50s--nowhere to be found. <BR/><BR/>I'd move to one of the Outer Planets, to keep my kids away from this stuff, and away from the kids who watch it, if it was possible. <BR/><BR/>But, that ain't gonna happen. It's everywhere, uncontrollable, and we're all just gonna stand by and hope all this turns out not too badly.buddy larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760847873026506988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1137702742654279232006-01-19T13:32:00.000-07:002006-01-19T13:32:00.000-07:00I heard about this and thought there has to be mor...I heard about this and thought there has to be more to it.<BR/><BR/>You know I actually thought about posting a picture of my brother and I taking a bath when we were little kids.
