...I thought I'd start an impromptu poll. What are the three vegetations you'd most like E-on to make for Vue. Please be specific. For me it's 1. Climbing Ivy 2. Hedges 3. Redwoods

Hmmmmmmmm... 1) Vines with grapes 2) A full plant Hibicus 3) Tropical Orchids ....why three?....make it four and its also climing Ivy or we call it here, "Money Plants" Bill

1. weeping birch 2) rose bush 3) climbing ivy

grape vines wisteria rose

Smallspace, have a look at my PLANT TUTORIALS. You can create nice hedges in Vue. I give 1 example, but you can try lots of things... http://www.multimania.com/arte/indexeng.html Next, I'll try to create a rose bush... Guitta

Smallspace, again me... I forgot... If you were a member of our VUE d'Esprit group... We have submitted at e-onsoftware our wishlist for plants about 2 month ago. You don't know our group ? Come in ! http://www.onelist.com/community/vuedesprit :-)Guitta

I know what I'd like to see... 1) More flowering plants 2) A Weeping Willow! 3) More bushes

you can find a weeping willow at http://www.egroups.com/files/vuedesprit/ click at GOODIES

heya; i wanna see a plant-construction mini-app, so you can define the type of plant. ie: crossed planes (like grass), grouped semi-cylinders (like ferns), stem and leaf (like tropical plant), tree, etc. flip some sliders to define some parameter limits, tell it what materials to use where, and badda-boom badda-bing; you created a 'vue vegetation' that will work with the random growth engine. i dont ask for much, do i? ;) i took a rose vob i had and scattered it into a bush, to make a real quickie rosebush. not as cool as anything guitta can make, though! :)

BSong...Sounds more like a improve "Plant Studio"....LOL! Bill

Hey Guitta! Thanks for pointing me to the weeping willow tree...it's a beauty! Laurie

_Weeping willow, definitely. The model is nice, but I'd like to see a SolidGrowth version! _Conifers! Larch, cedar, spruce -- any new pine/evergreen! _Birch! Can currently "make do", but a native would be wonderful! :) Varian -- Treasures d'Esprit http://www.varian.net/dreamview/dreamtools/vue/index.html

Ah Varian!...gald to see your psoting here. Heard you mentioned something about having Java script problem earlier. Hope you can view all the stuff here :) Bill

Thanks,Bill! And no,still can't view any images that go through the Renderosity code. (Not javascript, but maybe Java?) That includes the galleries and any image embedded in the message boards. I can still read text, though! :) Varian

Well, you are not the only one. I do have image viewing problem too and this is at random. All I see is a big "renderosity logo" and sometime a whole page of it even if I surf in direct. Have a good one :) Bill

Yes! The Renderosity logo is what I get, too! Makes the new store area completely worthless, but at least I can view the Fun Stuff images...since they are linked to other websites. P.S. back on topic: I second Bloodsong's vote above! Maybe not "build a PlantStudio into Vue," but some options to set trunk width (small, medium, large) or height, keeping everything proportional (rather than stretching it all out of shape) would be nice. Or perhaps a setting for more or fewer branches...anything to help add a greater variety. Having said that, I must also add that the SolidGrowth tech does add a lot of variety to things, so when you buy a $10 tree, you're really getting a multitude of trees, not just a single, repetitious model. Still, some of the species (like Plum) could stand to have a wider variance in the growth. :) Varian

Hey Varian, sound like you are suggesting Morph Target for the trees...that's great...LOL! How nice it would be if I can just select the tree object, place a point or select an area anywhere of the plant or tree and have a growth editor to edit what I want. An editor that allow you to add branches, various type of leaf shape, and texture mapping.....mannnn!....am I dreaming :) Bill
