**Thanks oldschoolpunk ,
So if a script was made useing an older version of Python would you have to have that older version installed? or does the present Python open older scripts ok ?

Have attached  console error message that if you have a moment perhaps you would be able to give me a few clues .

I thought the sun script would be handy to have it did involve two scripts.

It seems some scripts just dont even get into  the scripts menu after clicking the "update"
button ?

Hi

Thanks but have now solved  the above problem .

I just had to think it through, sorry for wasting time.

Regards Blueblott

Thanks Haloedrain  & Warlock 279,

I did manage to remove the file by doing a search for B.blend file .
it returned a file that on other searches it did'nt locate so after moving this to a zip file(so it could not be read) I  opened Blender and everything was fine and back to normal.
But this file was not displayed in the home directory.?
When looking for files where does blender store them.
Blender itself is in C:programs.
along with temp files.
prefetch in windows system 32.
Documents.
Those are the only four spots I could find.

But no matter all is well....so onwards and upwards
Thanks for your valued help.

Regards
Blueblott

Sorry Haloed Rain,

Managed to delete from search  all is now sweet  but please dont go far away ,seems I may need
you again soon !

(Have found lots of helpful stuff on Wikibook.)

Thanks for help

Hi and thanks .

Yes that works fine except  ...how do you delete from home directory ?

I found the *B.blend  *file but how in the name of the devils trousers do I delete it ?

Thanks Bluebott

***Thankyou so very much for all the Blender info. I honestly did not know how to go about this in Blender but with your help feel confident enough to have a go.
It is without a doubt a very good 3d graphics program/software,still learning slowly a little at a time.
Thanks again Lisarrichie
Regards Blublott

HI and thanks lisarichie,
Was thinking of maybe ungrouping the tyre and then use Blender to cut a tread to the original then re-group back in Daz!
How do you turn a jpg or png into a texture for Daz, or can it be done that way?
Oh well will have to keep trying suppose.
Many thanks for your help

BLUBLOTT

Have now had chance to download Poseray and try it.
BIG THANKYOU Peter just what I wanted
Very much appreciated
Jon

Thanks Peter for your help.

Thanks Annie I thought it was something so obvious that I could not figure it out.lol!
After loading many batteries and cursing the local supermarket for selling "duds" I will now attempt to retrieve them from the trash bin!
Thanks,will ask support for help.
Cheers Blueblott

****I have only used VideoStudio for editing my video that I have captured and it does a good job once you get past the stage of putting in too many transitional effects as I did. But you do, well I do like to add some extra bits into a clip that can be funny or depending on what you want to achieve and thats where chroma keying comes in very handy. Using the overlay in VS you can import the BVH that you gave a blue background colour to(blue is a good keying colour) when you render in daz to an avi file you can then import into VS direct.
Once in the timeline you can chop up the BVH into segments to get the desired effects.

If you are a dab hand at annimation in Daz then you may not be too interested in BVH, but I have not reached that point yet myself.lol!!

I like making videos adding the sound effects and background music, have found Uleads VideoStudio 9and 10+ do this very well indeed. If you need help head for the VS forumns as support dont seem very helpful.

After render in VS I burn to a DVD that works in the UK and here in OZ, PAL  as I send some to my army pal in Bristol.
Many thanks.

Thanks Fran,
yes import the BVH file into DazStudio after having selected your Daz model apply a background colour say blue if you wish to chroma key the model into a video editing program (i use Ulead Video Studio 10+) this seems to work well.
Carrara will import BVH and FBX have since found out but Bryce will not.
Some BVH files when imported into Daz get distorted,and finish up like matchstick men oops persons. have yet to find out if i can fix this or not, however i downloaded BV Hacker from Dave dub which allows you to adjust settings within a BVH but havent got that far just yet. There dose'nt seem a lot of interest out there in this type of file. but have learnt a lot through asking on Google.
Thanks for your interest Fran.

*****Thanks Bikermouse  and sorry to build your hopes up!

It seems you have to import your annimations into Bryce scenes from DazStudio  so perhaps thats where I should ask the question or Carrara as that is the "bees knees " I am told.
Thankyou for your interest.*****

*****Ah.. thought that would grab the Brysters
attention!!!

You know its that thingy er script of annimation that makes models move in a scene, dance,  walk, fight,etc sort of thingy.
Its all ready for lazy  havent got a clue how to annimate people like myself.
So long as your boned up , rigged add this file to it  and away you go. Oh come on this is like trying to ask where the toilet is at a party in a polite way and finishing up by asking," wheres the bog"?
But I will hang in there!!
Or.......is annimation not possible in Bryce? Hmm*****

****Hi, nice one Fran .I have also been puzzled by jpegs and pngs been offered for textures and materials in Bryce DAZ and Carrara. Do the same rules apply?
