I am wondering if Godot will show up LOL (sorry about the early morning exostentialism) Rawnrr

Godot..???????

Looks like a scene from a play by Samuel Beckett called "Waiting for Godot". ;)

o i c lol haha ok soz seeklight

Would that mean the texturing would still need to be done manually in P4? (the tree looks a bit metallic...hehe).

well the texture is the same as vue uses but as you know poser shine son everything and makes em look shiney and metal or plastic like. i never changed any settings in poser as i just wanted to see if it worked and it did ol regards seeklight

If what you're saying is that you imported a render from Vue to use as a background in Poser, fine, but you appear to be claiming to have exported a Vue scene (including that tree) to Poser. That's not possible. If you've figured out how to do it, by all means, let us know how it's done. It will be major news to a lot of people. Perhaps I've misunderstood something you wrote? Why would you want to export from Vue to Poser, rather than the other way around?

Looks to me like he imported the actual mesh, and not just a background image.

well i have exported the whole scene ie tree ground and the atmosphere as well and yes it can be done if you have vuepro,i would not claim such a thing if it were not true seeklight

vue professional can export whole scenes including tree meshes to different formats, just check e-on site for more info....

Does the sky come in as a background pic or is it mapped to a Vue object? I am very interested in how you did this. It might convince me to get Vue. Thanks

Vue is very much worth having for lots of reasons, not the least of which is that you can import Poser scenes into Vue, which for most purposes makes a lot more sense than doing things the other way around. graphicnovel, I appreciate your response and of course you're right that I should check e-on. I just found it odd that seeklight claimed to have imported everything including the atmosphere into Poser. So far as I'm aware, Poser isn't equipped to import Vue atmospheres, at least not P4/PP, which I use.

One possible reason for importing Vue scenery to Poser is for annimation. No need for the Mover software for Vue, then (right?).

I don't know how the sky and atmosphere are imported but I know it works with max, maya and all objects together with terrains and trees can be exported.....sooooooooooooooooooo...... still there's a diference between vue and vue professional wich costs around 500 bucks... once again check the e-on site to find out more.... hope it helps vince

Hey guys ok here it is.. the scene exports as a 3ds file format ie in this case ground tree and the atmosphere gets exported as a atmosphere box well its called a sky box to be exact. it exports the bmp map also now when you import it to poser you have to resize it all as the tree is very very small compared to the skybox,and to get the tree to the size it looks real compared to the size of your figure,you have to scale the whole scene up and over like 8 to 9000 in size. some trees and plants will not import as they are just to big in file size. i will try adding some mountains to the next one and il post screen captures for you all to see regards seeklight

I haven't had much chance to play with VuePro myself, but from flicking through the manual at the weekend I recall seeing a section on exporting skies which allowed you to choose the type of mapping (cube, octohedron, sphere and dodecahedron I think) and resolution. -- Mark
