Hi guys and gals,
In retrospect I think the easiest way is going to be create a full set of trees so it will truly be easy, for those who don't want to mess with scripts.
I will have two ways to go when you load the scene.
One at a time / 8 separate props / for those very focused scenes or a put them all in there in one 12,627 tree prop and be done with it.
Just checked the max scene and there are 25,254 polygons which works out to
12627 trees. Not as bad as I thought.
So a single 25,254 polygon set of trees as another option is not that much of a load on resources.
Keep in mind though that they are trans maps.
Two options seems the best resolve. Unless there is a way to make a .mc6 that detects any props in the scene with the name "Forrest"
This set will also include
1 Property figure which includes 81 blocks that may be individually hidden or with several hide show poses that hide several in one double click.
Rows and columns may be combined as well for hide and show.
1 City Sky Dome that is 1.57822 miles in diameter. 8,333 feet across.
Estherau, that is how it looks like a photo as it is a photo on the dome. Many, many, Equirectangular images are free to use for personal use from Flicker.
27 Camera poses that have the distance set, so you don't have to worry about Poser not seeing that far.
There is also one camera view that you see all of the 81 blocks the way the thumbs show them so you don't get confused on orientation in the scene.
For purposes of placing your city blocks.
Want to keep it as simple as possible so people do not get lost in the woods. :-)
Oh by the way this is my new Movie Sets City Block background scene that will allow up to 81 city blocks in it.
Nine blocks long by nine blocks wide with 8 roads that go up and over the hills in the four corners.
City Block sets sold separately.
Also developing a new line of very " Low Poly Block " sets that are intended to use to fill in the outer blocks.
One I have complete is only 958 polygons including the sidewalks curbs and street signs.
Will not include the roads and 8 empty blocks like my Movie Set City Blocks.
Might even sell them in sets, now sure about that.
They will sell for much less as they are just the Low Poly Block.
No power lines as there would be no need really. Could always load one from another city block set if need be. Still working out the details on those though so things could change before release.
Have a new block placer that you can parent any one of my older city blocks to and move them beyond their limits of nine square blocks.
Regards,
Tom
