Never mind! Looks like it's worth waiting for. Thanks in anticipation, Ben. :)

Many thanks for your generosity in sharing this Guitta. I shall study it with great interest.

Another problem solved! I've had this a few times, and always resorted to using the Clone Brush in PaintShop Pro to remove the artefact in post. Now I don't need to - thanks Guitta.

Thanks for that last one Guitta! It never ceases to amaze how one can use software like this for months and have a blind spot for some less frequently used items on the menu. I had totally forgotted these rotation and twist features existed. This FAQ section which I am slowly working my way through is proving very helpful and interesting.

Thanks a million, Thomas. I am yet another user who had not discovered the material distribution map feature! Its power and flexibility is immediately obvious, particularly when a quick experiment shows how it can be used in combination with all the other features such as height/slope dependency etc. and that you can use full-coloured pictures as maps as well (Vue automatically extracting the grey-scale information from these when used as a material map). This is going to make numerous effects possible that I previously would have added in post.

Merci beaucoup, Alain. Not just for the beautiful Goelette models, but also the other fine objects on offer on your site.

Just to say thank you for your generosity. I was over at PlanIT3D a couple of weeks ago and downloaded a nice selection of goodies.
