What a wonderful find Semicharm. The doll is fully rigged and she comes with a dress and hair. I pulled her in and oh what fun she will be.--Dollygirl (talk) 18:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

I've gotten fairly good and trawling the archive. LOL I just need good url for the main page. :D

BTW, do you have any idea where the old page for MatrixWorkzDesign was? I swear they had one before moving to ShareCG, but I can't find a link to it anywhere. They pulled everything off ShareCG and there's no easy way to retrieve anything from there. I noticed a lot of the old school Poser artists have moved out of there. I'm not active there anymore, but I at least left my old stuff up. There's a few things I didn't put up on DeviantArt.

Nope. I don't have any freebies from that studio.--Dollygirl (talk) 19:19, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
So in 2008 wayback machine hit the jackpot with Sharecg. Somehow Sharecg left the site unsecured and the wayback machine archived it. The download links are on the indvidual pages. if MatrixWorkszDesign was still active then you might get some info. Here is the link - https://web.archive.org/web/20080402203151/http://www.sharecg.com/b/11/poser?PSID=eb13bffe82adf2f42ed90dd5c7c088b7--Dollygirl (talk) 00:01, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
I had to trim the url to get it work. https://web.archive.org/web/20080402203151/http://www.sharecg.com/b/11/poser
That's interesting, though I'm not having much luck so far. Out of 15 pages I tried, only one download was actually archived. Unfortunately, Archive's algorithm favors breadth over depth. This can still be useful, just not for anything I could link publicly.

Well, I at least managed to find the working profile for matrixworkz on archive.org, before he took it all down. I think just about everything from his old site was transferred over. It's mostly dynamic clothes and morphs for Poser 6 vintage figures, and a few other random things like models for the original Lost in Space. Finding working downloads for anything there is another matter.

Clicking through the various captures, I did find links to other sites he had, but none were the original page he had before sharecg. Oh well... However, some of them are still live and have some decent Poser freebies that I'll post up in a bit. :D Netting good freebies is always a win.

This paragraph is more to document research and help someone to make the MatrixWorks document papers complete with references. So,I took a look at what you had found. His deviantArt site is still up but with none of his freebies loaded up. DeviantArt site: https://www.deviantart.com/mizrael/gallery. I saw UG!'s morphs so I clicked on the page and then the link. Wayback informed me that that page was still available. I then just highlighted the ShareCG link and sure enough I got the download for the morph package. There is one caveat you must already be logged into ShareCG to get access. I then noticed that in the left side of the page were more of his designs that were not on the first page. There is more to look for.--Dollygirl (talk) 21:05, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
