Oh, my goodness...I have ALL of her CD's and I am a member.  I have not had a chance to look at everything.

Thank you so much,

Jan

Oh, dear...I think I have lost a chance to thank you and to find out about your wonderful banner at your website.

You have the best search engine for Poser things.  There are many links which do not work any more, however.

Thank you for all you give to the Poser community.

Quote - > Quote - one other tip: that sort of structure is only known to exist on a planet orbiting a single star (single light source)

One other tip: That structure is a model of the house (my grandparents built in the 1920's) I'm living in as depicted (when I finish it) the way it looked when my grandparents added on to it in the 1940's.:smile

Now that the kids are gone, I want to move to a small little cottage like that.  No wonder this is so personal to you.  I would have loved to be moving to my grandparents little house in East Texas right now and get away from the rat race in Houston, Texas.  I hope you never have to sell it, you would be very sad later.  Hugs, Jan

There is a lot more to this scene, but I was afraid the file was too large.  The cute little house is blue and I have added cherry trees and flowers, a little squirrel....that bench is going to be precious.

I just wanted ya'll to see why I want it so badly.  I, also, am using UNIFLUID and Jepe's products to make rain.

"Playing in the Rain" is the name.  My first scene...well partial scene, I have ever uploaded. 

So, you see, I am really serious about making that bench.

Hugs,

Jan

Ok, ominousplay, had me at select all and combine under arrange.  I thought, hey, I DO know the select all function and gee whiz, there is a tab with the word ARRANGE.   Can't I do that.  Before Mark told me about making a spline object, I had only played a little with this function.

I don't understand how to take the pen and draw what I want because there are so many variables you have to enter first.

So I just decided to make a plain ol' rectangle with the preset shapes and a plain ol' hole.

I didn't understand until today, that I could do the arrange-combine and the circle would subtract.

This certainly doesn't look like anything to you guys, however I MADE A RECTANGLE WITH A HOLE IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It's everything to me, though. 

I think you guys are not using the present rectangle, of course, because you have the pretty top and it is even beveled.  I know you are using the pen.  But you are telling the pen how to draw and I must do tuts before I understand that.  Unless....Unless...somebody sweet would do a print screen of your pen settings...yes, yes...that is asking a lot...but just think....it I EVER get this made...I won't pester you guys again.....NOT!!!!

Now, have we talked about the legs? nomuse did and I am going to try that, but I think that is over my head. 

Also, the really pretty post ominousplay did several messages up and talking about the vertex objects....I want to play with that, as well.

Well, you guys are something....going to get ready for work, but please think about what a good thing you do when you help someone.

Thank you a bunch,

Jan

Ominousplay and Mark made the cutest little backs for a little bench.  Now I see what nomuse meant about doing things the way they used to be done...now you can't.

You know, I see why no one builds custom stuff.  Heck, the time it takes to make that little bench up there, I would want no less than $300.  Well, gosh, I cannot pay that much, and you have no idea if anyone else would use it.

Mark, I don't know how long it took you to do what you did up there, however if you will sell me that and try to make the cute little leg arm things, I can make the other pieces and put it together.  The thing is, I just cannot pay more the $25 for a bench.   I am slowly buying all of the little country pieces of furniture Ravyne has.   IsauraS has the Porch and Country Kitchen I am going to purchase.

I just purchased the Three Little Houses by ThreeDCritter. 

Sure, I love the fanatasy, very much....I love gothic...very much, but trying to sell little digital scrapping sets, I need my little Kiki playing in the yard with cute flowers and cute little bench.

Wish I was at home....accounting is just not right for me anymore.  I am going to try to take 4 days off just to play and create in 3 weeks.

God Bless you all...If you decide to make a set of the little furniture like that, let me know how much.  You guys have been great.

Hugs to you,

Jan

nomuse:  I don't understand about the obvious modeling methods.  What does it matter how you do it?  As long as it's your own work.  Well, I looked at your musical WIP and they were awesome!  You DO know what you are doing, that is for sure.

I just took a long nap and I am very mad at myself.  I guess I was just frustrated.  I think I will write up all of this as "Advanced Users" tutorial.  As much as I want to be able to make the prop I want when I want it, I MUST learn what you guys are telling me.

You guys are good!!

Thank you for all of the help. 

Jan

Oh, Mark, I thank you so much, however I have been trying to do what you did since you posted and I just can't.  I am going to go through some tutorials using the Spline Modeler.  Then, I am going to try again.  All I seem to make are loops and triangles.  Wow, have I got a lot to learn.

You did this for me and I cannot even re-create it.  I am so sorry.  I DID make a Lemonade stand in Carrara and it turned out really cute.  It might have been you who showed me how.  I am not giving up.

bwtr:  Thank you so much for offering.  Yes, it is easier for someone to do it for me.  I suppose I am trying to learn too much at once.  I am doing my first scene in Poser...learning where to place plants, a house, Kiki, etc.  This is all too exciting. 

I do not understand why I couldn't get my picture to upload of Wayne's bench.  Anyway, guys, I appreciate everything.  The day I can just make any piece of furniture or whatever, that will be like a dream come true.  I guess I could go back and use those loops for a bow.:)

Please don't be upset with me for just not getting it yet. 

Jan

I am trying to upload the little bench I DO have.

Thank you so very much for answering my message!  http://www.3d-artworld.de/index2.html is the link where I found it.

I am going to upload a picture of one of Wayne Grinberg's benches which is very close.  I purchased all of his cd's.  His work is just awesome. 

You see his little arms and feet are one piece however they are more curvy.  Well, his is just as cute as can be.  It's just not the one in the pic.

You know us women...we see something...and we shop 'til we find it...or just try to make it ourselves...then ask for help...

I appreicate anything you can do.  If someone make cute little furniture parts to mix and match that have this country look, I would purchase in a New York minute....well, for a reasonable cost.

Again, I thank you so much.

Hugs, Jan

Oh, sorry about that...no link.......red face here.....  Thank you,  barrowlass for showing the link.  I have just always wanted to know about that character, hopefully, someone will see this.

Well, guys, going to make the trip home...about 45 minutes...

Talk to you later,

Jan
