Just curious if anyone has used Shade 7. I downloaded the demo recently,
but since it doesn't export/save, it's pretty hard to say if it would be
real useful.
It's fairly cheap if you are a Poser 5 owner, and allegedly, it's very
popular in Japan.
Incidentally, I noticed that if you're a Poser 5 owner, you can buy the LE
version of Shade and then upgrade to the Standard version, and you'd save
$15 as opposed to buying the Standard version directly (funny). I'm at the
point where I've played around with several 3D modellers (most recently,
Wings3D), but really haven't become very familiar with any of them. I
wouldn't mind spending some money on a worthwhile product, as long as it's
not hundreds of $$$ (i.e. Cinema4D, 3DS, etc.) On the other hand, if
Wings3D is much more effective, why buy something else...

Try Silo!
It's the best modeller there is.

show us some of what you've done! ;)
seriously though, i havn't seen many images from you as of late. If I recall
you posted a nice WIP a while back that had some amazing clouds. This:

I played around with Shade some more. I guess I assumed that it would
integrate with Poser better than it appears to (I only have the demo). I
quit playing around shortly after...
I'm back to Wings3d for now. I'm still discovering that it's a lot more
powerful than I had given credit.
As long as we're having this discussion here (assuming anyone else is
responding), what are the benefits of Silo over Wings? I downloaded the
trial version, but never really gave it a shot before it expired (my bad).

enough interest I will.>

It's easy, fast to learn, smooth in operation, can be configured easily to
suit your style. It has a good tool set that is growing all the time and
while it doesn't have all the tools Wings has, it is still in development
whereas Wings has come to a stop. It also has the topograhy brush. Grab it
now while it's still cheap because many in the industry are looking hard at
it and the price WILL rise. In development are bones, sophisticated uv
mapping and a lot more.

Yes, it 'is' powerful. (Or, it seems like it to me).

I haven't tried Silo, and I really don't want to. That's not a put-down
of Silo, (as I haven't tried it), but from what I've learnt from Wings, I
don't think I could handle learning another program with what I've produced
in Wings so far...
But, I'll tell you now Jeremy, Wings is worth learning and sticking with.
Remember, I've just lost 6gigs of models and related files, but I'm
confident that I can do them again using Wings, and 'hopefully', better now.

I was thinking that Shade would interface with Poser, but apparently
whatever interface it has doesn't work in the demo. Or if it does, I
couldn't find it. Anyway, I really couldn't see anything that made it
better.
I guess this kind of brings up a sore point with me. There is all of this
Poser stuff out there, created in very expensive modelling programs. I
really wish Daz or Curious Labs could come up with something that would
easily allow the user to create clothing, do modelling, paint uv-textures,
etc. It seems like they already have half of the problem solved (posing),
and many other people have the other half solved (modelling, uv-texturing).
If you could "paint" on the 3D Poser models (rather than map a 2D texture),
that would really rule (like Body Paint, I guess). But then I suppose it
wouldn't be relatively cheap, either.
Since I'm still just a Wings beginner, I recently used your "women's shoe"
tutorial for creating something similar (not a woman's shoe), as part of my
POVComp entry. Very nice tutorial. Very helpful. :-)

Awkward maybe, but not impossible?
Anyway, I won't be using Poser for some time yet, (if at all), so I'll
stick with what I know.
