Thank you so much Paula.
I appreciate the link to your tutorials. And what you've had to say. IT has helped me a lot, thank you. Like you said, geekatplay is a great source for knowledge & materials for Vue.
I found poser much easier then I have been finding Vue. I don't know why. I am glad to have learned poser. I have about 100 Gb of content. They are so easy to import into Vue. I won't need to buy much in the way of content, aside from terrains & those kinds of things. Objects such as people, buildings, props and so on I have an over abundance of.
I just save a character or prop or a whole scene, after posing them all & save them as a PZ3 file & import into Vue, materials and all. I do find that human skin looks different in vue.
At this point in time, I did not want to get into creating trees, so I found myself purchasing the dual pack 3000 plus trees plants & grass. I really like the trees. MY problem now is getting the roots below ground on many of them. I find when I smart drop them, they connect with the ground by the tips of the roots. Vue considers the tips of the roots as the area of contact & not some place further up the roots. So you have to manually drop a lot of them below the terrain. Not so good for populations, great as hero trees. One day I will try my hand at modeling trees and other things. For now, I think Vue infinite & World Machine 2 are enough to take on, aside from the programs I already know & have.
I do have to say, I am a little scared of the content folder. Adding something wrong & making a mess of the whole thing.
Thank you again Paula, I really appreciate your help & your link to your tutorials.
Have a great Sunday!
