Oh, and this challenge seems to be a continuous, no triangle involved, jsut pick someone else and challenge them. -Locke

Alright, here's a challenge for you Rosh. Make an image that depicts a "stitch in time". Any programs are okay to use. Do you accept? Locke

No the triangle thing has gotten all messed up, I'll challenge someone else, don't worry about it. Ghost, it was a combination of a gelled spotlight above the figure, a non gelled spotlight also above the figure and a low power radial light in the foreground to eliminate the excessive shadows around the figure. -Locke

You said that you hadn't yet been challenged, so here goes: Represent anguish in any method you choose. Only restriction, you must use at one and only one Poser character. Do you accept?

I haven't yet been challenged. Locke

Ditto to what hawkfyr said, I know that this is a little early in the game since we don't even know if it will work yet but is there any chance of Mac compatibility? Good luck on this project. -Locke

does anyone know the URL's for these programs? I searched for them and could not find them. -Locke

I am very impressed by your primatives. The only suggetion that I could make would be to change the texture on all of the tower roofs. I think that a blue tile would look great. ALso have you seen the "ultimate dragon prop?" I think that it would look great here in your final image, maybe with some lightning or something? I don't know. Anyway, great job with the primatives. -Locke

I would create the latices based on a distance rendered image of the ship itself. 1. Pick a view that looks squarley at the space that that you want fuel line to run. 2. Do a distance render. 3. Import it into Photoshop (or whatever you have) 4. Select the area that you want the fuel line to run through. 5. Feather your selection a bit. 6. Lighten the selected area until it sticks out from the ship. 7. Invert your selection and delete the rest of the ship. 8. You should now have a circular line that hugs the body of the ship. You may have to play with the settings in steps 5 and 6 until you get exactly the look that you want. Hope this helps. -Locke

What I have found is that if you have an existing group and then try to get it grouped with something else then no new boolean opperations happen. Try ungrouping your imported object, setting each peice to boolean positive and then group all of the figure parts with your negative boolean. I hope that made sense and helps. -Locke

Thanks for all of the advice, a city sounds good. I like the idea of the contrast between the two. And I'll try to make it a little more obvious that the woman is stone.
