Wow, they look really great.

Count me in for a copy when it's up in the market place.

Hello.

It's a bug in the software. I've reported this to e-on and they where able to reproduce the problem on their end, but they have no clue as to the cause just yet.

So there's nothing you can do about this right now but I still recommend you open a ticket and report your problem to them. Best to keep them on their toes because the last two builds have been pretty poor.

James

Wow, that's pretty fantastic.

The funny thing about that though is you would never even try do that in Vue because it's too different from what people expect to see.

Hi Arraxxon.

Quote - use local or global coordinates system

Feck, I have been looking at the L and P options and never even thought of selecting either. I feel so stupid right now. Doh...!!!

Hey, thanks for your help on this, you too Rutra.

Kind Regards
James

Hi Arraxxon.
Yes, the object I will be moving is the second camera in the main view which will be exactly what your eyes should see.

At this stage I don't believe Vue can move the second camera in small steps like I need so I will write a small app that will calculate the positions for me on both axis.

Hi Rutra
I'm very sorry about that, I'm trying to explain this in as few words as possible and I made a mistake.

In the top view, rotate the camera 45 degrees and drop an object in front of it. Now click on that object in the main camera view window and press the arrow keys left or right. Your now moving that object on 2 axis at the same time and that's what I want to control in baby steps.

The reason being, I want to create a Stereo Camera setup for rendering anaglyph images.

Hope that explains it better and sorry for my error above.

James

Hi Rutra

No, what your doing there is clicking on only 1 single Axis where the values are displayed. I'm talking about clicking on the object.

If the object is rotated 45 degrees to the top view and you select it and press the right arrow key, you move on both the X and Y axis at the same time to the right.  This is what I'm trying to control.

The amount it moves on both axis greatly depends on the positioning of the object in the scene relative to position “0” on all 3 axis.

For example, it will move by 500mm with a single press of the arrow if it's more than 1 meter away from position 0. Where if it's within 1 meter of position 0, it will only move 50mm.

he..he.... Thank you.
I see one of my images was picked. Sweet..!!!

Hi all.

Just a quick note to say that I found a workaround for the textures on the Jets shown above. So if you come across something like this on any of your own models, simply right click on the model, select Edit Object, and tick the “Dynamic Subdivision” box.

You can leave the Dynamic Subdivision set to None as just having the box ticked fixes the problems. Just letting you know in case something else has this problem at some time. I've reported this to e-on.

Had no idea it was even there

Thanks.
James.

Thanks guys.

The stars with the flares I wanted to add didn't work out. They were to go into that gap on the right, but the second I put them in there they made the problem if your eye being dragged to the right even worse.

So I decided to add a single cloud right at the very edge of the image, just enough to close the frame but not the gap.  I'll leave it at that now because I run the risk of doing too much to what is a simple clean scene.

Thanks a million for all your help. Really guys... Thank you. !!!!

I had the moon rotated into position just from my memory, but just to double check I used a reference photo to verify against. You are right, it needed a tiny little tweak to the right.

Thanks for the advice on the contrast too. I did exactly as you suggested and it looks way better. I also droped the brightness of it a tiny bit to allow more detail through, but not too much because I do like it bright and a little over exposed in this image.

I had only planned on adding a 3 or 4 brighter stars with flare at this point using Alpha Planes, but now looking at the image I'm thinking it's missing something. Do you think I'd be doing damage if I went for something like and Angel flying up from the clouds holding someone by the hand. As if they are leading them to heaven. I'm thinking they could have a white / blue glow to them.

Or it is best left alone as I would be at risk of screwing up the image.

The image attached is straight from vue, no post work. Hurray, we have proper stars and a moon.

Just a few tweaks and a few little bits here and there and I'll be able to render the final image soon.

Kind Regards
James

Thanks guys.

I did a search for that eonite thread and I see exactly what you mean. The approach has it's downfalls as Rurta points out, but the benefits and the results greatly put Vue's default star generation to shame. Didn't even know that was possible. Very clever.

Rather than using a Sphere for the moon or an Alpha plane, I'm going to just add it in later when I'm doing the post work because it doesn't cast any light onto the objects in my scene.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Regards
James

Yep....stay with what you have.
