These look really good. I really like all of your block sets and have most of them. What I like about this block is that you have the curbs angled at the ends of the driveways.

With your 81 city blocks set one thing I would have liked to have seen was the ability to morph the curb so that a driveway entrance could be added. This would allow me to use other models such as a house with an interior to your sets so that a complete environment could be built arond the fully modeled house.

I will most definately be watching for this to appear in your store and can't wait for the remaining 68 blocks as well!

Thanks for the replies.

The set of keys has one master key with a keyring and 2 other keys parented to it. If I parent the master key to a hand and then save it as a smart prop, when I add the keys again only the master key is added. If I try to select a subset, it doesn't work as indicated by willyb53's comment. I guess I could parent everything as needed and save them all separately but that is a pain. I know that I have been successful saving grouped props as a smart prop before, but I can't get it to work for these items.

That is unbelievable and incredibly blatant! It must be very disappointing for Raul to have the vendor refuse to take any action. I have contacted the vendor and the person claiming it as their own work the over this.

Thanks MNArtist!

If you search 'fishing' at Content Paradise you will find a set of fishing related props. There is a fishing pole in that set. Hope it suits your needs.

Well that certainly sucks all around. Leave it to the jackasses of the world to ruin it for people. I can certainly understand Raul's point of view. It was remarkable that he provided so many fantastic models for such great prices. I always looked forward to his new releases and was fortunate enough to be able to purchase almost all of them to date. The new prices will put a damper on that but I will still purchase his models as I can. I don't blame him for what he has been forced to do, he deserves both compensation and credit for his creations. I will just have to be more selective in my purchases from now on, and learn to savour the anticipation of a new purchase (kind of like that old ketchup commercial). I am just glad that he has not decided to stop producing his models altogether. I also hope he continues to post his images as well. He always does such great work.

And speaking of images, MNArtist and Imx3d, your work just gets better and better. Your new textures and feathered dinosaurs are absolutely outstanding and always inspiring!

New plant and fantasy creature models posted by Dinoraul. Good to have him back in the marketplace.

That is fantastic. Thank you very much.

Oh no! I was afraid of that happening. He was so prolific for so long that I was afraid that he might become burned out. Hopefully he will return to them some day especially after posting the Gargoyleosaurus in his gallery recently. There are still so many new dinos I am hoping he will model.

Well at least he has given us a huge variety of models (both plant and dino) to work with and hopefully in the new year I can actually get back to making some images and putting them to use.

Thanks ashley9803. I also saw the one at ShareCG but unfortunately that isn't quite what I am looking for. The ones at TurboSquid are just what I would like but are way out of my price range.

Hello everyone,

I received a reply from e-on software acknowleding that there is a bug and they are looking into it.

Well I have had success! I checked my raytraced shadow settings on my lights and made sure that they were set as suggested by hborre. I then checked my render settings and found that raytracing was on and set to 1 bounce but I stilll had no shadows. I then set my render settings to the maxmum values on the auto setting (giving 6 bounces) and voila, shadows appeared!

I would like to thank everyone who responded for your time and help. I really do appreciate it very much.

Have a great evening.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the answers and the help. I just want to let everyone know I may not be able to give your suggestions a shot for the next day or so due to real life, but I will give it a shot if I can tonight. If not it may be Thursday before I can get back to you on some of this.

Hi ErickL88,

I have had that thought myself and have checked and re-checked to make sure that the shadows are in fact on and the shadow value is set at 1. I have also deleted the lights and re-created them and tried point, spotlight, infinite and diffuse IDL lights all to no effect.

Hello everyone,

The lights that I am using ar point lights and spot lights. I have ensured that they are in fact within the room. I have played around with the instensity but with no success so far other than washing out all of the textures.

The morphs are from James and are part of the default morphs that he has since I have done nothing to change him other than pose him. He is actually meant to be positioned behind the bar but I brought him out into the room to see if I could get him to cast a shadow.

Thanks for all of the help everyone is providing. Hopefully we can come up with a solution to why this is happening. Over the past couple of years I have noticed this happens on several sets I have attempted to use so maybe a solution to this one will solve the problem with others as well.
