Great job! Definitely have to give these tips a look-see!! ==steve

Egads! I don't know how folks on dial-up can stand how slow this site has been of late?!? I'm on cable modem and there are times that I forget why I came here by the time the page has loaded '-)!! I take it from guitta's comments that they are working on things, but as of yet I haven't seen any improvement! If anything things appear to have worsened?!?
Gonna have to remember to make my next posting about 9kb in honor of all you dial-up folks...LOL!!

Welcome aboard, Laurie! As a fellow jumper, I know you're gonna love the switch! Enjoy your voyage...just be careful of those unmoveable rocks...LOL!! ==steve

Oh boy, the line's getting longer now! At least I'm not alone in this "Case of the Unmoveable Rocks"!! Of course, that doesn't get us any closer to solving this little enigma, now does it '-)?!? Maybe I'll have to break down and e-mail e-on and give them something other than their VUEPro problems to take a stab at ;-)!! For ggrace, I can't see getting a new video card just for VUE rocks and I really don't want to spend the time on a thorough overhaul right now, so I guess I'm just stuck for the time being having to remember to save before undertaking such a massive scene change as moving a rock...LOL!!! For proserose, I can move/resize large terrains set to 2048x2048, it's just the blasted rocks that are causing this craziness! --steve

Sounds like you got yourself a bug...<< Sniffle, sniffle, cough, cough...nothing a little bed rest won't cure, my friend! While you gurus are figgerin' this one out, I think I'll take this opportunity to clean out my Poser libraries and see what I can go and screw up over there...LOL!! ==steve

Maybe I wasn't specific enough in my original post (gee, what a surprise, eh?!?), so let me try and make myself a little bit clearer. Overall, I am NOT having any problems at all with VUE 4.whatever it is (but it is fully updated)...these problems are occurring only with rocks!!! I can mix materials 'til I'm blue in the face (or until I get a blue material whichever comes first...hehe), I can build 75+Mb scenes, I can load a dozen Posers for cryin' out loud, this is only happening with rocks!! And it's not that it's that big of a deal, but rather it's just the annoyance of it that got me to sniveling in the first place '-)!! But, I do enjoy a good mystery, so I'm still all eyes and ears over here 'midst that salty Boston air '-)! ==steve

Actually, Kazi, I'm carrying a double-Masters course load combining Crashes AND Whining '-)! Wanted to throw Sniveling in there as well, but my advisor cautioned me against it '-)! As for the specs of this otherwise verrry cooperative machine, here goes...I'm running WindowsXPHome on a P4/1.9GhZ/1GigRAM and I have my machine set to defrag every nite/AM at 3AM 'cuz lord only knows that if left to my own devices I'd be lucky to defrag once a year '-)!! Lucky I remember to save now, ya want me to remember to maintain this thing as well?...LOL!! --steve

Hmmmm, didn't realize this one was still going on here...hmmmm...where'd all my notifications go to?!?... but since it is, let me just say that ever since I adopted MightyPete's credo of never saving over old files I have yet to have another problem with opening any files in VUE and the folks around will tell ya that they had to listen to me whimpering and whining here in the past with this exact same situation '-)!! BUT(fingers crossed here) I'm a happy VUE-saver now!!! Just my additional belated .02!! ==steve

Hey Orio!! I've got the greatest Minotaur stuffing recipe that would be just devine with those chops! Now just let me see if I can dig it up (bad pun intended) and I'll be sure and post it when/if I do '-)!! ==steve

Please excuse the typo's...LOL...that's what I get for typing with one eye closed and the other one already half-asleep...'-)!! ==steve

Unfortunately, this has happened to me in the past as well, Phily and Robot17 is right as far as saving files using different names (not just vue.1, vue2, etc.)! ALSO, as I was told by MightyPete (hmmmm, wonder where he's been?!?), you NEVER want to save over an old file!!! This is a recipe for sure disaster as I've found out the hard wasy ;-)! IF you do have .bak files then this means that were saving over the old ones, which is something you definitely want to get away from doing!! I know this won't help you in your current situation, but it will save you this headache in the future!! ==steve

I sure hope so, 'cuz all I've been stuck doing is the old trial and error method anytime I've needed to do this! I know this is of no help to you, satfj...just thought I'd let ya know you weren't alone here '-)! ==steve

"Ok, time to render it in a different 3D application to fill up some more galleries LOL"_rmuller CYA!!! ==steve

Geeesh, and I was hoping that one of the linked ?offending? images would be one of mine...LOL!!!! Because, personally speaking, I agree with regaltwo as far populating my images with peeps although I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who create truly outstanding workout doing so!! As far as mixing these two progs together...after looking through both manuals and reading the boxes these progs came in...nowhere do I find anything saying that any artwork created from the combination of these two(or VUE and X-frog or Amapi, or PhotoShop, or...) would result in violating any terms of usage!! ==steve
