yesssssssssssssssss.:-))
It works!! The only thing I didnt try was attach image to transparency.:-)
I wanted send to you but now I am playing with effects I can apply on the text.:-)
Thank you very much for your care!
And thank you to you too Doc (I did already at render thread.:-)

regards,

I suspected my sweet bubbles are the problem. And guess what: I wanted make animation with them too. In short, as globe spins, bubbles go up and the fish (behind material room) smiles and blind... eheh I would wait weeks to render.. I dont have so many patience!! Thank you very much for your help. Thank you to you Doc (long time I dont ask nothing to you) and PhilC - now I have another new toy to learn. Well, I had it already but I didn't like tutorials on UV mapper site. People there are not so lucky as us> We have our sweet Doc and their very nice tutorials.:-)They don't! regards, aniela

Dragon,

I just applied crystal ball material at Materials>Glass on my bubble object. I am not sure if it come on Poser or if I got as free on Runtime DNA.

Did I answer your question? If you need I can make a screen shot of it on room material.

Not sure is what you are looking for.
I went to statistics to get info about obj files:

obj 1
4800 facets - 4692 vertices - model
4800 facets - 4692 vertices - group Figure_1
3456 facets = 3490 vertices - material Outside
1344 facets = 1410 vertices - material Inside

obj 2 (2 of them)
19264 facets - 9804 vertices

obj 3
21649 facets - 18257 vertices

obj 4
4262 facets - 4205 vertices

and primitive prop ball

Coincidence or no but objects 2 and 3 are exported from Bryce 5. Obj 2(bubles) were *obp; obj 3 was *3ds. I suspect they are too big huh?

aniela

oops.. 1 second late :-)
No idea how many polygons I have. I was searching right now where I can find this info.. I know I have a long list on key frame editor (mainly lights and cameras)
I also just find if I set up raytrace off my bubbles looks balls, are not transparent.

well, now take "only" 7 minutes.:-) I think i need upgrade my puter.. :-) aniela

Hi Doc.:-)
I saw this tutorial before my post and even played with transparency settings. I get 2 extremes: or I dont see nothing when rendering my pic (everything is transparent) or my lettering (white) have the same transparency as his background (black). I couldnt find how make only black transparent. I checked out again this tutorial to see what I missed but no clue.. aniela

Hey Nance.:-)

I made my earth with primitive prop ball: I just applied the material I have for earth on Bryce. Worked fine at begin, BEFORE start to rotate it. I tried even make my earth on Bryce 5, with 2 spheres (daz tutorial) to export it as obj, but couldnt do it with that one. (I use to export many models from there)

In fact is not a space scenic: my earth is inside a sea shell (yeah, undersea). I got it running after cauldbox tip (well, not a tip... the conclusion is we have to go around bad default angles on some props by making new ones)

But, I will go to 3D Commune to check out your globe of course.:-) Thank you very much for your care.:-)

LOL
yes and I agree when you say some props have very bad default position.. the ball go out the screen even

and I still tried several possibilities to rotate my earth: I startet to add and/or subtract the same amount on x,y and z to try make it spin in the right way. And when I finally got the final position coordinates, dont need say my animation was a disaster.. well, earth spinned as real: totaly crazy.:-))

ouch..
I never mind that. I think I still dont had time to explore cameras, I started on Poser 2 months back.
I am not sure rotate camera is a good thing ( only intuition) because my earth is part of a scenic and if I rotate the globe it seems everything will rotate together.. I can be wrong, is just an intuition..

Thank you very much for your quick reply.:-)
I think I just found something I dont like on Poser. I agree, its easy in this way but is not practic.. I have to stop my scenic, open a new one, make my "earth ball", export it and then re-open my scenic... except I am doing things in the wrong way.. My last experiences trying to add stuff to library were frustated because everything on scenic went to library, not only the object..
Thank you again.:-)

it sounds as bad connection.. maybe too many trafic on site but, its lovely anyway.:-)

I see 2 areas: one on top getting the top cap and with part of one warming sign. This part is a bit displaced from the other. In fact I see 2 parts.
