Really good picture !!! I made the same mistake... my whole life has changed since I know that... :-)

And don't forget that you have an option on the water material fery usefull : reflection with angle (sorry, I don't know the exact word in english version) This option let you vary the reflection of water, in correspondance with the angle of camera.

As I said to you in a previous post, you choosed the best. Now, it looks like the best fits you very well !!! But you made a horrible mistake... Now, you'll have to post us more pictures, really more pictures. You'll be forced to post pictures more and more to feed us, 'til it sucks your energy and you fall of your chair... it's too late now, we loved your first picture... nyark ! nyark ! nyark ! ;-)

Another french Claude ?!? I'll nerver tolerate it !!! Et bienvenue de la part d'un autre Claude Franis... :-) PS : I've got no solution for your problem... sorry !

I hate people coming here, sending really good scenes and saying that it's only their first try with Vue ! People like your are indecent to show... to impose us so much talent ! And I'm sure you will post some other scenes that will became more beautifull and mature to show us how little we are to think that we makes good pics ! And, not the least, you've got a beautifull wife having a good judging eye... Augh ! Life is so cruel... Now that I've desperately looked back at my first tries with Vue, that will never be posted anywhere, I can only say : 'Hey ! Continue this really cool work !!!' :-) PS : one only advice : try and experiment some other render settings for avoiding the 'graininess' on your soft shadows...

Weird ! But still Trully cool... I especially like her face... I can't say why but there's an expression, or an absence of expression that looks to me really impressive ! A quiet, wise and... etheral attitude that I really like... Or it's maybe just the hour that I become lyric... :-) PS : I really like the three stars ! ;-)

There's no real convention about that, but just think about those who have small screens and those who have not really fast modem (now, I have a cable connection, but I had a 56K...) So, I think 1024 is a maximum width...

Bad luck, guy ! I'm rellay sorry for you... :-(

I found !!! It's the Archangel's wings from Sekoid "Darkworld". I didn't know this list, but it's good and really helpfull. It's a good idea and it would be cool to havee three or four lists of props like this.

'would you say this is nudity...' It's a good question, Sharen ! When I post my 'rain of stars', I didn't check the 'nudity', just because it didn't came to my mind that it was nudity. I'm an art student, so I am formed to view nudity in a certain way. I was thinking that 'this' nudity was not an offense. We could argue that most of the forum users are mature, I suppose they're all mature. We could argue that a young guy can see really much more just looking at TV. But, after thinking (yes, I made it !:-)) I realized that the Renderosity folk don't want to have problems. So now, when there is no clothes on the... errrrr... charming parts of a body, I'll check 'nudity'... Now I must post a 'violent' image, and having a comment ordering me to not forget to check it the last time, for starting to think about... :-) It will probably come really soon ! Oh, and I agree with Bloodsong, grass would have been cool for them !

Really cute and funny, Sharen ! I especially like the little stars of light :-) Where are the elves from ?

Hell ! My scene was done with the Vue4 demo, so, I did not save my work...

After reading your description, Isn't it the same kind of problem that I had with the rendering of my "rain of stars" image, that I put on the forums ???

Yes, Varian and Irene, I created the structure with Vue primitives... even if it's empressive, there's really nothing hard to do... it's two boolean operations repeted :-) Irene, you choosed the best : Vue for creating some amazing scenes, and renderosity's forums for sharing your creations, questions, discoveries, etc... Hope we'll soon have a look to your first images ! Thanks Jarm ! PS : It's not Traveller's wings... I can't remember where I downloaded it, but I'm sure it's not Traveller's.

Really good work, raff' Effectively, a more transparent material ands, I think, make the light more solar... Now, it's time to put a ship on this (why not a viking one ?)...
