NOW!!!...isn't that fantastic! Distance mountain is so convincing now and the small mount on the right between the fence and mountain is just perfect. One thing missing though!!!...a tweetdy bird on the statute head...that's what the cat is after, right?...just kidding. Well done Kate! Go ahead and post, I give it a five :) Bill

Hi Marge, May be you would want to let e-on know about this. I have never try it myself. Btw, what kind of system configuration you got, especially RAM and video card? Ati may have problem. Bill

Thank you Diane. Glad you are trying out Vue 2 to have a better feel. But don't get too discourage without the vegetation. I heard someone here posted saying that it comes only with the dead trees. Its the vegetation and the rendering growth engine that knocks you of your socks. There are many good think about it, like the Material Editor, Terrain Editor...etc.. I bought it even without testing the demo and ordered it the first day it was release for online orders. The main reason is because it support Poser exported 3Ds and Wavefront obj - works beautifully. I have Bryce too. Bill

Thanks for the tip Diane. You are right about typing too long somtime...may not be the text, but too much time thinking how to composed :) Okay, I keep it in mind...serveral boxes. Yes, I been prompt before that the limit of characters allow is only 2K. Bill

Thanks for accepting such comments. People like yourself will make good artist Your imaginary, location wise..."garden is sitting on a small hill and there's a little bit of a valley between it and the mountain" is a tough one indeed! May be you should pull the mountain way back and make it big (as the manual recomended for large distance object as background). Yes, be agressive and give it more roughness and bumps (I always love to do that). As for the "little valley between", I suggest you create another terrain between the large distance mountain and the 'fence' but closer to the fence. Let 1/3 of the "valley" mount shows above the 'fence'. I am just visualizing it in my mind, but I hope it looks look when its done. Have a good one Kate! Bill

Hey x3!...what a beautiful garden! Nice change of view compare to the previous one. Not to be dishonest and misleading, my '-ve' comment is that the terrain behind need more work. Two things here: 1) The texture sorta makes it looks like fresh moss on a mount. 2) From Statue to the 'fence' to the mount, there is no depth of field definition. Btw, what is that light brownish with caustix pattern on it of the right side behind the 'fence'? Hope my comments are constructive. There is always this fear of making others 'unhappy' :) Bill

Sheeee!!!...now you tell me. I just lost another long post in another thread to Sliverbranch. This thing smells :( Bill

"Another beautiful fable told"...nice scene construction (composition) and very imaginative :) Bill

Thanks a lot for the info, SMT :)... Now I know. Btw, do you know where those 'disappearing' post goes to in cyberspace? Is there a "lost & found" and the moderator would put them where they suppose to be? :) ..neat, isn't it? Bill

Hi Xav....where do you thing I come from?..hee hee! Bongo did said I was, likely you must have missed it anyway, its still somewhere in the "3D Application" forum. Give up art? U got to be kidding. The stuff I doing here is my only escape to Strss. Anyway, I am from Asia, on an concrete island that can't hardly be seen on the Altas - Singapore. Bill

Hi Bloodsong, I got tire of tying and cook up a 'tutorial'. Many of the layers and components has been taken off for quick rendering as show sample. Its in new message in Vue. Hope the image turn up alright though. Bill

Hey! Looks who here. The sea horse modeler himself :) Great piece Robert! A 10! Like the guy with the 'piggy' tail! Bill

No offence, Metropa....it just that this 'dressing up' thinggy reminds me of people using BeOs icons, Mac Shell utility..etc..trying to make their PC looks like a Mac or Work Station. I don't mind if doing all this makes my system run faster :) ...other that that.cheapskate! Bill

Hi Bloodsong, I really getting mad about posting through this box. I just spend the last fifteen to twenty minutes composing and typing a 'tutorial' to you and after hitting the reply button, it send me to the "Welcome" page. Getting back here, I did not see my post:( I find this reply box very unreliable! I am out of steam and time to go all over again. I will have to do it again much later. If you see it anywhere (the post to your reply), let me know. Bill
