Hmmm... 100 legs, totally rigged. Soooo not it! LOL One of the reasons I wont touch Medusa either lol Ive been dying to tackle her for ages.... but to do it, the snakes would ALL have to be rigged, shed have to be naga-like and shed have to be truly hideous lol Rigging all the snakes would be an utter nightmare.

But the card game sounds really cool, actually. I have a penchant for venomous and dangerous critters.

Well... you didn't rig all the bits of the scorpion decorations! I just meant something inspired by a centipede, not an actual rigged centipede. :)

Nice face-off with Anunnkai in that third promo. :)

In Chinese mythology, there are 5 poisonous creatures: the snake, scorpion, centipede, toad and spider. I've been working on a card game based on Feng Shui mythology for a while, with a need for a "scorpion king." Ta da! And a "serpent queen" too! (Though I've had plenty of options in that area).

Spider-themed items are also relatively easy to find, but I don't suppose you could be inspired to do anything with a toad or centipede? ;) (I might be able to do something with Ranaka for the toad part, but I confess to being somewhat puzzled as to how to make an interesting centipede character.)

My fellow Egyptonuts.... I give you the second part of Serpent Goddess. Except... less girly.... and now, with scorpions

Behold the horror!

And much like Serpent Goddess, this one has an add-on too (which works with Serpent Goddess, to create a seamless render)

Got questions, I got answers! Feel free to shoot, but not me... coz like, I wont be able to make any more cool stuff.
Got renders? Feel free to post em!
Got coffee, please bring some... lol

Coz Ive already been asked.... sadly, no the mummy does not come with the set. Its made up of Smay's Zombie and my own custom morph (which sadly, I cannot distribute, as it has DAZ morphs entwined within it)

For those for whom English and other European languages are not their native tongue, an invertebrate is any multicellular animal without a backbone/spinal cord. If you still don't understand what that is, then here is the wikilink (just click on your native language)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invertebrate

This list is far from complete-- I have yet to add the non-Daz compatible file formats save for some of the 3DS ones.

I’ve compiled a partial list of the free invertebrate stuff out there. Some of these are static props, of course. (I haven’t doublechecked to make sure every single one isn’t a dead DL, though)

OMG I can't believe I won :lol: , I guess the choice was tight. Very happy, was really overwhelmed by the questions at first. Although it was actually interesting I must say, I will check the next questions this afternoon, without taking part in contest, just out of curiosity.

Wishing good luck to Zaarin for next round, as we were very close :)

Thank you very much for the offer :) , I will send you a PM later today, about which product I would like (already got the last 2). Hesitating between 2-3 items.

Still can't believe it, thanks again !

See! you're a natural at this! lol Congrats and good job to everyone actually. You guys all did well. And see, even I learned something lol I didn't know about the third scorpion goddess (they really loved their scorpies, didnt they? lol)

And dont worry, Ill give plenty of opportunity for others to win a prize. Honestly, when it comes to Egypt, I could do this all day lol

Okies..... that one was a tricky one to judge. I had to judge based on individual answers (including bonus answers, or even extra ones you guys gave)

The winner of this round is.... Navibass. Congrats!!! You get a choice of a proddie from my store (or the two new ones) You can pm me with your choice, or add it to the thread if youd like.

Here is the answer sheet

1: He is the jackal headed God of Ancient Egypt... name him (and no ann, it is not dogface guy lol) - Anubis, or Anpu the royal child

2: How long did the war between Horus and Set last? 80 yrs

3: Who is the scorpion goddess? There are actually two, you need to name both - Hedetet and Serqet. There is also apparently a third I didn't previously know about, Ta-Bitjet (credit goes to AgentUnawares)

4: What is a ship of the desert? a Camel

5: Saqqara is the only place where a step pyramid of its kind exists... but whom was the pyramid built for, and by whom? It was built for King Djoser, and by Imhotep, a high priest and architect.

6: He was a heretic Pharaoh, who changed the rule from the polytheistic rule of Amun-Ra to a lone sun god. Name him. And the God. Akenaten, the God is Aten

7: Why is the lighthouse in Alexandria called Pharos? - It resides on a small island called Pharos

8: Its a temple that contains something from every Pharaoh that ever ruled... name the temple - The Temple of Karnak (Luxor is technically acceptable, as that is where Karnak is located and they are part of the same complex)

9: She was the only one to rule Egypt as a Pharaoh, including donning the full fake beard and nemes - name her. Bonus points if you can get her first name (its one of my fave Egyptian names) Maatkare Hatshepsut

10: Whom built Abu Simbel? - Ramesses II

Egyptian Trivia - Round 1: Level, Easy

The rules.... you can use your googlefu.... but this is a game of speed, so you have to be quick. Knowing stuff off the cuff can be the difference between winning and losing. Also, you should be aware... there are some things I may throw at you that you cannot find on the web lol but Ill save that for harder rounds. First person with all (or most) of the answers correct, wins. If you don't get it first shot though, don't worry.... there will be more opportunities.

First round will be easier though, just to warm you guys up.

1: He is the jackal headed God of Ancient Egypt... name him (and no ann, it is not dogface guy lol)

2: How long did the war between Horus and Set last?

3: Who is the scorpion goddess? There are actually two, you need to name both....

Hopefully the legs can be moved backwards because the sample pic presents an incorrect placement for a flying bee or fly-- their legs should be facing the back at a 45 degree angle)

I don't use Poser but I pretty much have skipped nearly all sales since a few months ago. Including new stuff like hiro, the horse and the teens that I'd normally get. I didn't even get any bogo stuff and cancelled my platinum club membership a few months ago which I have had pretty much since my registeration in 2005. I still get a few items here and there but not really spending actively.

The primary reason is that I don't like the new website and how annoying it's to reset products and then find which file I'm supposed to download among a half a dozen choices. Also as people have pointed out there's a too big risk for duplicates. Finally the site has regularly difficulties showing up to date products. I've to sort if for last product and then new product before the product shows up.

It's also missing many items I'd like to buy. I've a lot of full sets of stuff but what I really need are things that are hard to come by anywhere. Things like animal face masks/shamanistic helmets, mix and match LIE tattoo sets, LIE pattern overlays (i.e. symbols and sigils), long braided fibre mesh bread (dwarf style).

Even for fantasy you tend to find either total skimpwear or then practical armors. I've a need for really elaborate fantasy stuff be it actual shape or textures. i.e. like armors below:

Scorpion
Fancy headress
Undead Armor
Mixed armor
Bear shaman
Stag armor

I'm also a big fan of races that at the same time look familiar but alien and monstrous. I.e. some below:

Krait
Grawl

However note that since introduction of Genesis I've mostly looked for Genesis compatible characters. Also characters that allow mixing and matching with different morphs. Sometimes I just have a use for massive clawed hands and sometimes I need the full figure. I feel that Genesis is a bit underutilized since people tend to produce full figures both in terms of textures and morphs while DS and Genesis both have great tools for something that would mesh well with existing human skins and morphs.

I'm still waiting for a creature creator for genesis that allows mixing of creature elements with already existing M4/V4/M5/V5 textures. I'm searching for products that add tails, fins, satyr legs, and other stuff while providing LIE overlays/geometry so they can mesh with the human skin below (also with M4 skins since I use them more than M5) i.e. like fins of the I.e. stuff like fins of a mirefolk stalker, or sometimes just animals masks like I mentioned before. For example something like what King is wearing here.

Edit: Also while I still remember. I have a need for relatively quick loading building kit which comes with believable exteriors and interiors. I love Faveral's stuff for exteriors but you can't build believable interiors out of them. I'm currently building a "tradingpost" for a fantasy setting and I'm lamenting that I've yet to see a good fantasy city building kit where both exteriors and interiors are included. I don't really have a use for scene objects that have only either. I don't mind placing the props myself but the problem is that usually the interiors look "wrong" because of how for example windows have been built.

TIL the Scorpion King has no Scorpions. Sad really. Complaint: too much coffee means no sleepy

Aw, teh cute and smiley all at once :) Scorpion King 3 is on TV. No sign of Scorpions so far.

The first one you listed at ShareCG, Scorpion Chain, you just drop the Runtime folder in the zip into the My Library folder. There is already a Runtime folder in there, and if you are on a PC, it should merge with no problems. Scotpion Chain.txt should be fropped into the ReadMe's folder also inside the My Library folder.

Have a look at these items for free at the moment from Dreamlight, from the DAZ Store here, any of the ones that are $0.00, are free (of course), just add them to your cart and checkout in the usual way, it wont cost anything.

Can someone explain/point me to the answer of how I take “Kick ass dual wield” pistols and put it into a generic library within DAZ?

Can you give a link to this item, or at least explain what the file contains (Poser or DS content)

ALL content for DS4.5 goes into the My Library folder, that includes Poser Content and DAZ Studio Content. My installation path for the My library folder is as follows : C:\Users\\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library

You don't say what Operating System you are using, or what version of DAZ Studio. That information can often be vital in trying to help you. To find the version number of DS4, go to Help > About DAZ Studio, and you will see the exact version number, the current one for DS4.5 is 4.5.1.6

Finall, Camera. I hate the DAZ camera. It’s driving me crazy. I just want to lock it to the starter point, back up on a “tether” a few feet and circle the point to chk angles. That’s got to be doable, right? How do I do that?

You can use the Create menu to load as many cameras as you want in a Scene, and then keep one of them where you want it (rename it to Posing Cam or similar), and use another Camera to set up your scene (Scene Cam?). There is a lot to learn about DAZ Studio, but there are many tutorials on YouTube, and even some free ones from Dreamlight in the Store at the moment. They will show you how to set up a scene and move the camera around using the camera controls.

Daz # 4.0.3.47
Think Windows 7, can't find an exact decimal

A couple of examples from ShareCG:

Do you have any links I can follow to useful tid bits, I'm currently searching through my own Daz system, my DL folders, the forums, YouTube, it get's hard to keep track of 6 different spaghetti threads in 6 different plates.
