Paladin of Tymaril, foe of gnolls, demons and the necromancers of Lyrium!

I tried posting in the Gallery but there's some bug with it :(

Character is based on a friend's D&D characte rin our online RP sessions.
Vicky 3m, Joan of Arc and Charger form DAZ.
I just got Vue5 Pro today so was trying to learn :)

I found Vue crashed a lot, perhaps due to the file size of the Poser stuff. I thought at 1st it was loading the /BUM files form Poser for bum maps, but it looks like it just uses the normal .jpgs?
System has 1 gig RAM got "running out of memory" a lot sigh.

Couldn't get Motion Blur to work on this so did that post in PSP. I did get Motion BLur working on some simple tests though. Probably my mistake as I relaly am a newbie ot Vue (but used Bryce for long time).

I have V5 PRO, but I dont see where "Botanica" comes in scratches head regarding plant creation.

Hope you enjoy the pic and any help is, as always, appreciated :)

In order to get motion blur to work you must have motion.
As you did not mention using Mover I suppose that it not was imported as an animation but rader imported as a posed model and if so there is no motion unless you did something like setting up a keyframe, move the horse and the rider and set a second keyframe, then move the timeline somewere between the keys and do a render with motion blur. It would of course not be a totally correct blur as the legs of the horse not moves in a straight direction between the keyframes but maybe better than nothing.

If you used Mover an actually imported an animation then check that the kind of render you did also renders motionblur. I kant check now but as an example I'm not shure doing a Final render is enough.

I really like the models in the picture except for that I would like to se more structure and dirt on the skeleton and the shield.

What I dont like at all is the lighting, the image is washed out, try to start by turning down or totally turn of ambient light and just add the lights you need. It would move more of the focus from the very basic and uninteresting background towards your main characters.

You could also try using HDRI (unless you allready did, but if so turn down exposure).

Just my 5 cent's based on my own taste.

V5 is renowned for OOM errors - make sure that you have downloaded the latest patch, it really does make a difference. Also make sure that you've got a good big page file - 4096 is I think the biggest that Windows can reference. I agree with the comment about turning the ambient lighting down - the image looks really "soft" at the moment. Nice poses though!!

If it is anything like Vue4 Pro (and I am sure it is), just double click on a plant in the world, and you'll see this window pop up.
Hope this Helps:)

Belgareth, Got it now ;) Was playing around with Vue and noted it was under EDIT OBJECT...thought it would be a specific button/folder etc...as said just learning I R NEWBIE! THnaks for the help :)
