Btw, Tigers don't purr.  It's one of the distinguishing features of big cats. :)

Hey!  How did I get tied to a post??

true, but Tyger_Prustin, just didnt sound as cool to me.

I wonder how many scientists got eaten, trying to hear if Tigers and Jaguars purred or not.   And then there were the ones who worked out that King Cobras were deaf.   I bet there's somebody, somewhere, right now,  checking on the dental hygiene of salt-water crocs.

Ah. You must come from the land where they never heard of highly directional, long distance, extremely sensitive microphones.  Pleased to meet you. :)

I've heard that panthers can purr.  Loudly, too.  IIRC, they are the only one of the big cats who can.  Although it seems like I might have heard something about cheetahs, too......I'd have to check.

Sounds like a great idea to me......perhaps I'll contact e-on, and suggest it to them.  I've always heard that there's no harm in asking.   :biggrin:

Cheetahs most definitely can - and do - purr.  They are not strictly speaking Big Cats.  They belong to a category (pun intended) of their own.  Not so sure about panthers, though.. Big Cats are usually classified as Leo or Panthera and, AFIAK, none of 'em can purr.  But then, if they wanted to try, I sure wouldn't be the one to stop 'em.

*Ah. You must come from the land where they never heard of highly directional, long distance, extremely sensitive microphones.  Pleased to meet you. :)
*Fair point.   I'll try a different tack.   I wonder how many scientists went cataleptic while waiting for the big cats to purr and got colonised by termites.

I'm sure that the panther's purring is an expression of pleasure in anticipation of the tastiness of the free meal that's just offered itself to him -- the meal who is attempting to find out whether or not the panther can purr.  The panther is just being obliging.

So the scientist is the guest for the dinner. Well, panthers are very polite.

Ever wondered how many poor sods got locked up for assault whilst they were perfecting the Heimlich Manoeuvre? What about the fireman's lift, envisaged in the Victorian era?

BTW just thought I'd add...

Ok. I'll give it a try anyway and see.  The watermark can't be worse than that 3D Mailbox,  LOL  Besides, I've always wanted to try Vue.

jjroland - You'll have to read this thread to understand, just typical schoolboy humour!
www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php

lmao

and all this time with the battle raging I had no clue....

jj - So me & thefixer have been fighting for nothing!

Oh well, i better understand all the avatar stuff now... So stormchaser, you've had enough of being turned around by the guys 'cause of your avatar, and you finally decided it was your time to turn around the ladies, and you choose jj as your victim! Does this site is turning into a meetic thing?? lol
Be aware to not be trapped by an avatar mistake, as yours was feminine but you are masculine...! :tt2:

Vince - I know I'm not the only one who used the opposite sex in their avatar. You see, I only work with females in my scenes & I just wanted my avatar to reflect some of my owrk. You've seen the problem this causes though haven't you! It's like pjz99, a big contributor on this site. I could be wrong but I think that's a guy. I like the avatar but I originally thought he was a she. I quess we can't help thinking this way, we see a picture & then when that person comments we have that picture in our head. Look at ConnieKat8 & Acadia, believe it or not, they're not cats! No seriously though I'm sure this has caused confusion with many people avatars. The problem with people writing here on the forum is you can't always tell by the way that they write which sex they are. It's in no way a problem, just the way it is.

Please, don't tell me Acadia IS NOT A CAT!!!! I just can't believe you! :blink:
For ConnieKat, i have no doubt she's a cat. Have you seen these huge deep eyes?? Such emotive, sensitive...

But i agree with you for the avatar thing. It's just like me: despite what my avatar let you think, i'm not a pyromaniac.

Quote - despite what my avatar let you think, i'm not a pyromaniac.

Maybe you're not a pyromaniac (I was once called that at school but that's another story) but your avatar is pretty cool & artistic!

can i import animations in vue from poser?

are vue renders better then poser?

thank you

ice-boy - Animations can be imported from Poser into Vue. And if you look at page 1 of this thread, you'll see what have been enumerate better than Poser (GI lighting, GR, ...).

Vince, I swear I had commented on this picture just days after you uploaded it, it's superb. I think the gallery goblins deleted it! Anyway, I have commented again, it really deserves it.

*It's like pjz99, a big contributor on this site. I could be wrong but I think that's a guy
*I thought a girl!!!  [shrug]

thefixer - You're just girl crazy!! :biggrin:

what is the last vue version? vue 6?

Thanks storm!

thefixer - Remember: behind every girl avatar is a guy, and behind every guy avatar is a girl. Simple, isn't it? Behind cat avatar?... hu... a dog?

Ice-boy - Take a look at www.e-onsoftware.com. You will find all the infos about the different versions of Vue: Vue6 Easel, Esprit, ProStudio, Infinite and X-Stream. And don't forget to try the PLE free version.

So now you're calling Acadia a "dog" that's not nice!!!

That is really bad over here!!  

And by your definition, I'm a girl!!!

This is all getting very confusing, I think I need to go and try on that new dress I bought!!

Hey! Acadia is not a dog nor a cat! She's... THE LINK QUEEN!!! :tt1:

what about poser shaders? can they work in vue?
it would be awsome if i coud use bagginsbill's apollo shader.

And if it doesn't suit you, just turn your avatar into a sweety girly face, and you'll be able to wear a rude pair of trousers and spit on the ground (farts are optional...) LOL :lol:

""it would be awsome if i coud use bagginsbill's apollo shader.""

You can't Iceboy : ( God how I wish we could, but alas.  What you could do though is nag him with the rest of us to make shaders for the other renderers = D.

From here on out that is the only shader I'll use for Apollo and since I refuse to render anything meaningful in poser now, yeah it sucks.

Pjz is a boy : p
But you wouldn't know it with his amazing ability to make real women.

lol!
It will turn into a hunt to find the genre of the other! :biggrin:

they say you can import it 

Importing Poser characters into Vue means that the original Poser materials need to be converted into Vue materials. This inevitably means that many shaders loose their original characteristics in the conversion process.

To overcome this limitation, e-on software and efrontier have developed an advanced bridging technology that enables Vue to use Poser’s internal shader tree when rendering Poser materials.

This technology ensures Poser characters will have the same look inside Vue as they had in Poser, and makes it easier to achieve the perfect results when rendering Poser characters inside Vue.**

*Be warned, I have a pretty good system with 2 Gig of RAM and using the Poser Shader Tree inside Vue6Inf brings it to it's knees! This is well known, there are many threads in the Vue forum about this!
I'm currently pricing up a new system with 8 Gig RAM to get over this issue!!

Yep, but Bill's apollo shader is far away too complicated for Vue to handle it right through the PoserShaderTree.

then i will ahve to use soem vue settings.

I may have to drop the shader tree in my Vue work now. I need to move onto more complex scenes & I don't think my 1GB RAM will handle everything. Trial & error as usual I think.

BTW, I'm thinking of uploading photos of thefixer in his dress into the gallery. Think it'll pass the TOS!! :scared:

Only if you don't show my hairy nips!!

bagginsbill's apollo shader wont work then i need to find out something else. is there somethign to download?

for?

some realistic skin shader for vue. i am now looking at skinvue. is this free?

Nope, SkinVue is not a freebie. However, it is well worth the money, as it can not only generate procedural skins, but modify the imported skin texture with a Poser figure, letting you take a high res texture and really reducing the detail level in a paint program, and still keep the basic tones you wanted. Be aware that SkinVue is also designed to be modular, and there are for purchase modules to expand the figures that it can process easily. You can find out the detail at Cornucopia3D, and David Burdick has a website that gets more into details of how Skinvue works.
