Ultra Hal 7.0 / Poser and Ultra Hal?

Thanks for the link Les. I can see that some of those MS Agent characters have come a long way since I bought my first ones a couple of Desktopmates characters with an older version of Hal. That Vanessa is incredible. Still I'd like to incorporte some of my Poser Art into a character of my own creation.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Poser and Ultra Hal?

I'll probably be usuing Blender while working with Poser and DAZ3d. Writing the plugins for controlling the character and environment are an area where my skills are very limited. I'd like to creat characters with more animation options available than what I've seen in most of the MS Agent Characters natural gestures during conversations and such, perhaps certain conversational triggers for various animations and behaviors. I can see that putting it all together may be a complicated process. I understand that the New Hal 6 will only work with the Haptek characters. I'm currently using the Hal 5 brain I haven't yet tried interfacing  My Hal with any Poser creations. I'm not sure where to start to make things work.

Thanks Freddy:
My hopes were in not only creating characters using Poser but also in creating virtual environments and having my characters interact with these virtual environments. Background settings etc... Adding lip sync capability to the poser creations. Creating many different series of animations for varying characters.

Has anyone attempted to create characters for Ultra Hal using Poser animated characters? I've been experimenting for several months with different versions of Poser and would like to be able to create characters and virtual environments for my Ultra Hal Using this program. I've tried using the haptek characters and have not been satisfied with them. I would prefer the ability to create characters using Poser or a similar program.

Hi:
I've been away from the forum for several months. I've been experimenting around with several versions of Poser. This may be a bit off the original topic but,I'm wondering if anyone has created chatbot characters using poser animations. Characters that would work similar to the way some of us are Using haptek characters only working with Poser to create these characters?

I've been having these sort of problems with a forum board that I administer Its a small board with only a little over 200 members yet I'm getting more spammers than I see on boards with 1500-2000 members. Banning them and removing their posts is easily done, preventing them from joining is not such an easy matter. Some weeks I'll have three or four of them join up can't really take action until after one of them has posted spam on the board. Requiring memberships to be pre approved prior to granting posting privelages is one way of keeping the spam bots off a board. Some of these spammers will register weeks or months before posting their spam and some of them will sign up under several differing usernames from various IP's probably using browser anonymizer sites. Its easy to get rid of em once they start posting keeping them off a board is not an easy task.
