    Nice. I never watched the show, but I remember ads for it with that big ball. I seem to remember someone inside the ball...is that right?


    Dana

    Now this one I do remember. It had that Patrick guy in it that also stared in "Secret Agent Man". The ball was empty but it blew across the beach at the end of the theme song.

    "The Prisoner"

    Rover: hi-poly ball prop, PoserPro 2012 content

    Hair: Male hair for the P4 guy, PoserPro 2012 content

    Figure: Ichiro, PoserPro 2012 content


    Ichiro should be considered a paid-for since you can purchase it separately.

    Hmm.. but you can also purchase a lot of DS content separetly, and it was never an issue, when someone used the one that came with DS...

    I think our highly enlighted leader should give some input into this :D

    And on a side note.. I got today 3 notifications .. yay :)

    The difference here is Poser is a paid for program, so any included content is not free. Daz Studio is a free app, so any included content IS free.

    The gen 4 figure were declared as Neutral when DAZ 3D changed them from free to paid characters. It was debated at the time, and declared the best way to deal with the problem because at the time they were the most used figures, whether one used DS or Poser, because at that time Genesis hadn't arrived on the scene.

    Genesis is of course free with DS4, and DS4 is free at the current time, do that is obviously a freebie that everyone could obtain for free if they were so inclined.

    Figures that come with Poser, which is a paid for program are by definition not free, because you have to purchase Poser in order to use them, and in your case Poser 2012, which is the latest and most expensive version of Poser.

    We do allow Poser as one of the rendering programs allowed, but do exclude content which comes with specific versions of the program.

    For Freebie items to be counted as freebies they need to be available for anyone and everyone at zero price and not dependent on a separate purchase to get them.

    I am not certain if we ever did clarify whether Poser specific figures would be considered as paid for or neutral, but one that is included in Poser 2012 content but is also available as a paid for item separately would certainly not be considered a freebie.

    Please check the rules

    Well said Cho...and right on the money.

    Never mind. Not worth it.

    Sorry if you do not agree with our rules Sean. These rules are for everyone, not just you. No one is singling you out. None of these would be a counted for freebie anyway, just a neutral item, so I don't see what's the issue. V4 and M4 are neutral items. Please try again.

    Not if it's a standard part of poser. Poser is allowed as a renderer, which means that you would need to use poser lights, stands to reason.

    Well, see, here's the problem.

    You cant use it in Studio, because DS wont read IBLs from Poser, therefore it doesnt fall under the category of a tool anyone can use. It's a light, which makes it no different from a prop or a texture. If we're allowing it because it's part of the "standard part of Poser", then so is any character mesh that comes with the program, just as one would expect to be able to use primitives, which in my other entry I do, to carry the wall and floor.

    So IMHO it stands to reason that it — and the primitives employed — should be listed as a paid item. And if so, then I must regretfully pull my other entry.

    Please advise.

    The freebies are about content, not infrastructure. Lighting, dynamics, particles, etc that are part of the base tech of the software fall outside of "content." Poser can't do geo-grafting. DS can't do dynamic hair. But none of that is "content."

    Kendall

    Correct Kendall. Content is seperate from the app. It is offered seperately even.

    Kendall

    And I would respectfully disagree. An IBL light is not the same as a simple spot or point. It uses an image as its base. If Poser is to be used strictly as a rendering engine, then nothing contained in the libraries should be allowed — and that apparently should include IBL lighting because the image used for the IBL is no different from a texture applied to a prop. It is a piece of the library that is unique to Poser, and that alone would mean that if I'm to be allowed to use the lighting, I should at the very least change the IBL *image* to something that comes from a free source... but not the images that come with the program.

    Merely trying to understand where you draw the line. I sweated bullets on that first image, getting everything to work just right within Poser itself. Everything was prepped before it went into the render to create the look of postwork: shadows, perspective on textures, the whole shot. There is, as far as I can see, only one place where it betrays itself, but since no one's caught it, I'm gonna consider it good as is. Unfortunately that image, as tuned as it is, included an image-based light that, according to your rules, should have been disqualified.

    Lights are not something that are easily read. The uberlighting system comes with Daz now, and it is used without question I am sure, but again, how does one identify a type of lighting used. We usually try to keep things here simple and honest. One could take their render into photoshop, a paid for program, and do it up without saying and it would probably get by, but we choose to believe folks are generally honest here, and our judges do examine all the nominations carefully.

    My suggestion to you, not being phycesious, is if you really are so THAT technically frustrated and/or confused, then maybe this contest is not for you. We are just a bunch of simple fun loving folks who do this to congrigate and share what we render and help one another learn. The prizes are not that great, I make most of them myself...lol. and we have others that give to help support what we do. If you can shake the frustration long enough to just have some simple fun, we are for you, and we will help in any way we can....but....WE WILL NOT CHANGE OUR RULES FOR YOU OR ANYONE!....that is final...lol.

    Do you know if I wasn't a moderator, and didn't have to keep my head while all around me are losing theirs, I could really say something here.

    Eustace, Sean, can you please stop quibbling about silly things and get back to the fun and frolics that the freebie challenge is supposed to be all about and has been all about for 5 years now.

    Sean, Krissy has already said she will take it on her head to bend the rules slightly for you on your first entry.

    So please now lets get back to the fun of the normal freebie challenge, without all the challenges about the freebies.

    Use that whooping stick Cho...I will not stand in your way...lmao.

    Seriously, this is a contest for fun. I am sure that if you had used what you did, Sean, and just did not claim it as a paid for, nor a freebie, your entry would have been fine.

    With all due respect, this is not silly. You have rules. I gather you expect them to be adhered to.

    Thank you.

    I don't think IBL, Poser or otherwise, is, or ever has been in 5 years an issue. Think about that!

    "Silly" was probably not the precise word to use; but "quibbling" was.

    You know, I've long accepted that when I post an image in these fora, it's bound to be roundly ignored.

    And now, when I ask a serious question about your rules and regulations, I can now count on derision from the admin and the Kool Kids Klub.

    Thank you. It's good for me to know my place.

    ermmm...excuse me Sean, now I know you are not happy that our rules don't fit your likeing, but most rules don't, and I can appreciate that you are getting a kick out of straining our brains to their limit with your confusions and frustrations, but I draw the line when it comes to you calling us KKK. I know that is what you meant and shame on you. If you don't like our contest...then bounce! But do not call us names like that.

    Have a nice day!

    Yeah, I've got another piece I want to enter, but can't get the bloody thing to render without it force quitting Daz. Two of the figures used are completely custom made (and free), and originally designed for Poser, but the creator of them said they should work in Daz, but they both are causing the program to quit every time I try and render it. They're integral to the piece, and cannot be done without, so removing them is not really an option.

    I would check and see if they were created for DS4 use or DS4.5 use. They are different and 4.5 compatible stuff will not work well in 4.0, even if made for Poser. I would check the date on them.

    What figures are you talking about? I may have them myself and could try to replicate the problem. Are they by Sixus1, by any chance?

    This is an email I received directly from David in response to a message that I posted on his blog:

    Hi .... We'll be announcing our road-map on the blog and
    directly to users who have items uploaded on the site, next Monday.
    Basically we will be giving all users the option to pay and not see any
    advertisements or not pay and see advertisements. There's more to this
    scenario, but this is the basic concept. Essentially if you don't want
    to pay you will experience the site as you have been experiencing it
    with no change.

    There's more detail that you'll see on Monday, but by giving all users
    these options they can decide for themselves how they want to experience
    the site.

    Cheers,

    So it looks like ShareCG will still be a freebie site.

    EXTRA DEADLINE PRESSURE

    Late stragglers still coming in (and great work too!), but Judge Dorseyland will be taking his final look at the thread about 7pm today DAZ time, which in the "advanced" time zone elsewhere in the galaxy will be 8am Monday October 1. Then his winner choices go to Krissy.

    If you get an entry in after that, not to worry -- Krissy and Rob will presumably still be here sipping champagne at midnight DAZ time when the door slams. You just won't have my vote (and you know what a push-over I am).

    Best of digital luck to all.
