Surprise for Minque! Options

[minque]

Jesus christ that stuff is sick. They're great things - but I didn't expect that by searching for Prog I would get JUST naked women. I even chose the ones which looked like they had no connection (such as an evil monster) but no he's somehow managed to stuff a naked woman in. It seems very uncalled for - could anyone tell me what to search to get the more artistic but great pieces of poser without the unneeded nudity?

I could manage some, but it's ridiculous what I've seen.

You were warned Konrad! Neela said there should be nudity....I´m currently searching the place....

Oh....my, marvellous pictures, but ok....very much nudity....so beware!

I´ll search more.....

Sorry Konradude, I tried to warn you. I do like their pictures for their ability to use the software and make great pictures, though I too would like to see some of the nudity toned down.

Unfortunately, many of the things that drives the artists there to keep creating pictures is to get comments and viewings. Sad to say that having nudity in your picture disclaimer tends to get you alot of both.

There are alot of great pieces there that don't get nearly the recognition they deserve simply because they are without nudity.

Gah, people these days - real women everywhere in the world yet they go for a computer program....

Neela, could please have a go at making the guy in my sig go into 3d?? That would be awesome.

[Neela]

I will give it a shot.. However, I just got back from dental surgery and I think the novocaine will be wearing off here soon so it might be a few days. Not sure how well I will do while on the pain killers...

[Konji]

Haha, you type with your teeth??


Anyway, get well soon.

Konradude,
Several things you can do at the Poser site to avoid nudity. First off, when you applied for membership, you had a choice of checking a box that would omit nudity from your viewing. Perhaps you can go back in the settings and make that adjustment now.

The other thing you can do, is be careful of what categories you choose to view. I chose as a first try the classification "Glamour" and of the 18 images on the first page, only one was a not very intimidating pic of a girl's bare chest clad only in a necklace.

I think you can choose categories that won't have so much of the offensive (to you) material. I have been to and around art schools and so am used to the nude aspect of the genre. I find a badly executed painting more offensive than a good nude.

[Konji]

Ok, I'll try that.

I'm not dismissing nude art - i find if someone decides ONLY to do nude art and even when it does give a warning sometimes the thumbnails show the nude part (Which is incredibly idiotic ) it is slightly too much.

Thanks for the help.

Another thing that bothers me is that if they are nude they only ever seem to be nude from teh waist up. So the artists are not talented enough to create the lower half (pretty simple modelling if you have any skill) and are just bunging it in their for the sake of it.

Hmmm, yes ... I agree with you there about the topless aspect. I remember when the Better Bodies mod for Morrowind came out and I thought they did a good overall generic job on the males, but there were many comments and disagreements, etc.

The lower regions are a much more sensitive subject to most people.

As an aside to this subject, I've seen the article on the main page where the classification of Oblivion changed from Teen to Adult due to some guy using the bare chest option for females in Oblivion and making a mod from it. I really don't see what all the ruckus is about after Better Bodies mods in Morrowind. I thought everyone was used to the idea.

[Konji]

But better bodies for Morrowind was created solely by modders. Meshes, textures.

But with Oblivion the modders simply changed a couple of words - Bethesda had provided the nudity meshes and textures in the actual game.

It is different and that is what the ESRB has picked up on

They weren't used to it, its just that it was entirely third party in morrowind so they couldnt do anything about it. Bethesda said Oblivion had no nudity anywhere so they lied about their product.

[Ibis]

Hmmm, yeh I guess they did stretch the truth a bit there.

I think they included the possiblility of topless females in response to the huge popularity of BetterBodies mod for Morrowind. They used to be quite responsive when it came to modders. The la femme armor mod comes immediately to mind .. it was offered after some talented female modelers had already make female bosom meshes for some armors and shirts in MW. There are other examples of the devs following the lead of modders but I just got up and can't think of any atm.

The whole nude mod thing on oblivion is dumb, if you saw stargelmans screenshot of the "dangerouus nude body" it was one plain texture. All it was there for was to make clothes look realistic. Insead of morrowinds undergarments looking like literally a part of someones body.

Is it me, or is this a little off topic? This thread really should be closed . But while I'm here, I totally agree with you all.

[minque]

I think you really have a point there Fafsa!!!!!

So closed it will be!
