Thanks to all. Very few plants in this image are made with PlantStudio (http://www.kurtz-fernhout.com/). It's shareware and very unexpensive if you buy it. The "jungle vines" are modeled in Corel Dream 6. Just spirals I extended a little, then mapped it with Vue trunks :-) Which gallery are you speaking about Gail ? best Regards, Guitta

yes headhunter, I was thinking about it. Maybe next time :-)

Milk and many cloud material, bloodsong. Only the ground is real water.

Try it wirth dollars ! I made it with belgian paper money. Of course, it's not a plant. Just smile :-). I wanted to show that every thing is possible. Guitta

This is the way to do it. I copied the explanation Greg Hess gave me last year and it works fine : Step by Step, this is how I do it: 1. Load Poser 3.1 - pose, bend accessorize and save. 2. Un-parent any separate OBJ - like hair, or boots, or dresses - that is not part of the bitmap texture. 3. Select Export - OBJ from Poser. Do NOT select "separate parts" on the export dialog box. 4. Exit Poser - Run Vue2 5. Load scene, or new scene. 6. Objects - Import - follow dialog box to OBJ to import. 7. Each Separate UV Mapped object is listed under file import name. The main group may have other sub-groups. the mapping should be applied to the parent object. For example: + Import File When clicking on the +, you may get something like this: - Import File +-figureHair +-prop.3ds_1 ++Figure 1 This indicates you have 3 separate UV mappable areas. A flipped UV map from the Poser 3RuntimeTexturesPoser 3 Textures director. Just make sure you flip them first. You can also edit the UV Map templates to create UV Maps for any of the "filters" in the material editor. When you apply the "biz woman texture.jpg" , apply it to the +Figure1 in the example above. Then a different texture for the hair, and one for the Prop - or multiple props as the case might be. good luck ! Guitta

Load the poser map file which is in *tif format into your paint program and save it as *.jpg before you import it in VUE. Some Poser versions don't need you flip the file. Just try if yes or not. Guitta

I think, it must be the same for Poser 4. If not, try to post your question at Vue d'Esprit official Forum at http://www.artomania.de/cgi-bin/UltraBoard.pl here are some specialists POSER -> VUE Guitta

Larry, maybe you will find some tricks or answers to your questions in having a look at may tutorials for beginners : http://start.at/arte Guitta

OR : select the object and click at the scissor in the top tool bar or : select the object, then click with the right mouse button and choose "cut" Guitta

Dear Dave, your pic would like beautyful without post processing. I agr with Kate about the light beam. Have a look at my tutorials for beginners. It shows you exactly how to create a light beam in Vue (tutorials for beginners) at http://start.at/arte The waves woumd look much better if you use waves from Vue material. Powt processing makes the water become unrealistic. Try to rectify and you will see you get a very beautyful result for your picture. Regards, Guitta

yes, very funny pic :-). Only the tore at top of the glass is a little too big. Guitta

You are right, Art, the dome of the cellar has plenty of holes, like it is often the case in old hammams. The sun reflects this holes. Why they also are a little over the light ? I have seen that, but I don't know. Maybe there is a scientific explanation. If not, we have to ask Vue d'Esprit why it does so :-) Thanks nd Regards, Guitta

Again me, Maybe it is because the light itself (the round light under the metalic lamp) is also a light beam, not a glass with a light in it ! The sunlight, normally, is stronger. Hm ? Guitta

Newcomers maybe don't know NONO'S LAND, where you can find great atmospheres, objects and more. The site is in french language, but you will find easy what you are searching for. http://www.multimania.com/adosnon/echange_objets.htm Guitta
