Hi,

Has anyone come across a swamp/everglades type eco? Or even plants for such an eco like cypress trees, grasses, etc? I see so many other ecos for sale but no wetlands like you'd find find in LA, MS or FL.

I saw something over at Daz called the low bog or something like it but it's very limited in scope to what I want.

 

Thanks!

I would suggest Tony Meszaros' (Realms Art) sets at Cornucopia3D. For example:

http://www.cornucopia3d.com/purchase.php?item_id=4085

There is also a set with additional plants from him.

 

I have most of his sets and they are very good.

To might also try "swamp things" over at C3D by Dave Burdick..

Thanks I use a lot of Tony's things and this puts me in the right direction!

Speaking of such things...and knowing this is kind of OT (but related)...I can never get the search at C3D to work. Is there a trick? For example, I can search for "skinview" and it turns up, a bar and barstool, Jim, an axe, and Max at the top.

That is probably because it is "Skinvue" not Skinview... If I type in skinvue, the first four hits are the Skivue packages fro Vue 6, 7, 8 and 9. You can even just type "skin" and the Skinvue packages are among the top 4 hits.

Thanks for the spelling correction. While I might point out the search should have returned NOTHING if it couldn't match, I'll go ahead and say typing in, "Skinvue" or "skinvue" gives me the exact same result as typing in, "skinview"--an ax, Max, Jim, etc. It also erases the search field (or else I'd show you a screen grab depicting the results).

I'm using IE9 and it seems to work fine on every othre site I visit.

There is a problem with the C3D search function, there are posts about it in their forums. You need to use the search button right at the top of the page, if you use any other you will get what you describe. Only the top menu bar works properly..

Just to clarify: I am using the searchbox in the top left of the store interface and Firefox 3. If I type Skinvue into the box I get the result shown in the top of the attached image. If I type Skinview, I get the result at the bottom. I also tried the search box at the top and it works just the same (for me).

Also note, that I was not in any way trying to make fun of you, Chuck. However, misspellings are the number one reason why searches fail and I thought I point it out to in case you were not aware of  it. No insult intended. If your results vary from mine shown in the screenshot, it could be the different browser or a browser add-on. No idea. All I  am saying is that it works for me with Firefox.

Ciao

Holy cow !

Good thing it wasn't a snake up there ! I never noticed "that" search field before (my colors probably hide it--they are all dark and slate-colored).

Thanks ! :)

 

Oh, and it works as you guys say. ;)

Must be something about FF that allows it to work in both places.

I didn't take your comment as making fun of me. I misspelled it, you corrected me (since correct spelling in this situation DOES matter), and I thanked you. I just went on to say how I thought it should have reacted given my misspelling.  :)

Thanks for your input !

I would also check out the 'Terrific Trees' bundle and the 'Super Roots' bundle at C3D. I have the Terrific Trees and they are very good. You can see them in my gallery in the image called 'Gulp'.  If you can't find the trees try seearching on the word Mangrove.

Also I believe Martin Frost has a swamp ecosystem as well at C3D. Try searching on 'Cypress'.
