Hey Nabob -
Good to hear from you! And thanks for the tips. I'll try them out. I ended up putting two terrains together and using the resulting "valley" between them for the creekbed in the attached image. Not a totally unsatisfactory result, but it does lack some control.

Thread: Soft Shadows Disabled | Forum: Vue
Never mind. I think I figured it out. Changing the softness parameter in the Sun light panel then enables the shadow softness. Weird. I had increased that earlier and it didn't enable the shadow softness, but this time it did.
Sounds like user error.
Thread: Talk Designer will Not use AT&T's .WAV files | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I'm trying to use talk Designer for the first time. Poser 8 on Windows. When I try to import a .wav file...INCLUDING THE .WAV files included with poser, I get a pop up "The audio format is not recognized by Poser, and then another saying This audio format is not supported for lipsync. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Bruno. That seems to have helped some. Now I just need to figure out the rest of the composition
Thread: Quadratic Spot Soft Shadows | Forum: Vue
For what it's worth, I ended up switching to a volumetric point light - something I'd never tried - and the results are 1000% better. Definitely long render times, but worth it, I think. I'll post the final image when completed.

Hey Basicwiz -
Thanks for your response. Actually, I did do that. 3 times, in fact.

Hey adorety
Ancient plants are a real problem in 3d. There's the xfrog series that are ok, availabe at cornucopia, but they don't have info, are really render intensive, and expensive. As an alternate, i'm attaching a link to a book called Prehistoric Life, availabe at amazon. It has lots of info and pictures about plants sorted by era/period. It's a huge book for the price and well worth it.

Just as a side note, if you're Vue users, you can make a couple of "key" prehistoric plants by modifying some standard Vue solid growth.
Imx3d made a great calamite (horsetail) using the Prehistoric Pine Tree. I did the same based on the work he did. You can see the results clearly on this image

And I've made a fairly descent monkey puzzle tree using the Scots Pine. You can see that clearly in this one.

Thanks for the response, Mazak.
It was unchecked. I tried checking it, getting the same results
Thread: V10I Radiosity Not Working?? | Forum: Vue
Thanks, Shawn. That was it. I was playing with QS's light tutorial the other day and must have had that checked from there. Obviously, I didn't learn enough from the tutorial. LOL.
Appreciate the tip.

Back to plants for a moment.
Imx3d found this site that has a great set of cycads that are available as obj and .vob (for one price) which means they can be used in Poser
http://www.silva3d.com/product.php?id_product=48
And Cornucopia3d released a nice looking Monkey Puzzle (Araucaria) Tree this week, which is a "must-have" for Mesozoic renders in Vue (I'd made my own version earlier, but this looks much better and is only $2 USD)
Here's the rules I use for prehistoric plants, other can chime in and correct me where I'm mistaken:
Pre-Triassic: Ferns, Conifers, Mosses, Horsetails. That's about it. Even cycads didn't evolve until the early Triassic. I know this sounds really restrictive, and it is. But it's the reality of what had developed. There were also large club mosses, but as near as I can tell, we don't have any models of those.
Triassic & Jurassic: Same as above, but add cycads.
Early Cretaceous: Same as Triassic and Jurassic
Late Cretaceous: Same as above, but you can add deciduous trees and some grasses, but limited. There were no broad grass prairies as today. You can also add some flowers as they began to evolve in the mid-Cretaceous. NOTE: NO PALM TREES!! There's a tendency to want to show dinosaurs in tropical settings, and while the climate was tropical in many parts of the world, palm trees did not evolve until after the end of the Cretaceous (this is a relatively new discovery for me. Many of my older renders use them).
Tertiary and earlier: Pretty much any modern plants
Enough for now. Anyone else have thoughts?
