Attached Link: When Will My Gallery Have Vue Pics?

heyas; vegetation is cool, but vue could use more fishies! anyhow, since silverbranch and tesign posted some underwater pics, i hadda out-do em ya know ;D this does NOT have every single marine creature that mitch has made. the krabbe is not there. and the sea turtle is fasttraxx's. oh, and the angel fish from zygote. (i shoulda used one of mitch's photo fish textures on it!) oh! silly me, i almost forgot the brain coral. it's something i whipped up in amorphium... and that weird wiggly texture somehow became my default texture for this session. looked good. :: the scalar fish doesnt seem to have a body, so those are flats with trans-maps. i edited the colour map for that and left the fin tips semi-transparent. if you want the transmaps for 'em, lemme know. didnt do any special watery light rays or anything. (this time around.) ;)

Wonnerful!! Where'd you get the anemone lookin' thing? And is the seaweed actually that Vue plant (starts with a C but looks like gladiola leaves) that came with the program? Kate

Hello Bloodsong, Very cool picture. I it an oyster on the left ? The texture looks fine. I hurry that "VUE Stuff exchange Area" arrives :) Regards Pascal

heyas; that thing on the left is (supposedly) brain coral. :) kate: right; there are three plants i used, the new red coral (you can d/l it), the tropical broad leafed thingy, and the tall skinny seaweed is that... whateveryacallit plant that looks like... well, like that. ;) i am not a botanist!! those cool anemones are from mitch. i was gonna post a link to his site, but forgot. here it is, but be warned, since he moved, i have NEVER gotten this link to work :/ http://w2.altenglan.de/mitch/ can't find it under www..... either. :/ i'll ask debbie. hey, i even found the scalar model in the sample pics, but you can still apply that fin transparency to it. ;)

aha! found it! try this: http://www.mitch3dseite.de/ he also made the jelly fish, starfish, koral (the thin red coral near the angel fish), and stingrays (that murky spade-shaped thing in the background is a stingray).

Vey Cool! I love the turtle. I've been to Mitch's site...he has some fantastic stuff. Unfortunately a lot are Bryce objects. :-( So I can't use most of them. The Clivia (?) I looks good as seaweed. Gail

Hellu Bloodsong, About your image...nice going but there is one thing wrong though? You are mixing saltwater and freshwater species in a single bound G Bill

Wellll... As long as Jacques Cousteau isn't looking we won't tell anyone about the saltwater/freshwater thing will we? I'm checking out Mitch's site as I write. Unfortunately my knowledge of German is minimal but he has some cool stuff there.

BTW, Bongo - as far as you know does there seem to be any way to get Vue to import Bryce files without a full copy of Bryce or is this just an "internal" trick of Bryce's?

dammit, jim! i'm an ARTIST, not a marine biologist! ;D

Maybe the saltwater fish are on a low-sodium diet and had to move to a better climate ?

Saw 'em. I'm not sure if the demo I have will let me export but I'll give it a try. (If I can find the thing again) :)

anyway; this is an effluvial coral reef, where the fresh river water flows into the saline ocean water, and fish of both types meet and co-mingle. effluvial coral reefs are very rare; the only one known to mankind is the one just offa bongo's island.... ;) now about mitch's site. all the stuff i ever saw there is in 3ds format. i dunno what bryce stuff you are talking about. or are you guys talking about fasttraxx??

No, I was noticing a lot of OBS as well as 3DS stuff. I got the jellyfish and an octopus (or squid, whatever "krake" means in German. I can only find my Russian, Japanese & Spanish dictionaries when I want to look up something in German! Figures...) The link to the crab seemed to be broken. I wanted that sucker too!

its an octopus. the qualle are the jellyfish. turn off the java and check the links, because some of them link to something/something/zipfile.zip, and that's obviously wrong. just type in the correct / there. nope, can't recall seeing any obs there, only 3ds. ::

I knew jellyfish. "Krake" is also Norwegian for a sea monster (kraken) believed to be the Giant Squid. That's what threw me. Anyway, it has tentacles... But as for the crab, Silverbranch pointed me to a working link. I've already downloaded the pesky crustacean. Thanx again Silv' !

Bloodsong: Oops, actually they're OBP, not OBS. Not familiar with Bryce extensions... Anyway the 2 Rohrenwurmen on pg1 are OBP, so are the 2 Anemone & the Seealgen on the next page. They're not in one place, just peppered thruout the pages.

ohhhhhh.... how do you tell before you d/l them? obp's are useless to me :/ lol, and some of these things are obj, not 3ds.... now i'm soooo confooooozed! :)

Just mouse over them and it gives you the file info. Somewhere in there it'll say what format it's in.
