I tried a PSD file with a alpha channel straight in to the Color channel. It works, but the problem remains. The "None" set to value 0 did not work either, so I believe this is a bug.

bwtr, the textures comes from www.got3d.com, something else interesting is www.gardenhose.com

I wonder if the scale factor works in Hex commercial version. I've tried the demo and the scale factor did not work. I've been using Amapi Designer v7.1 were it actually works. It do not work in their latest patch, neither does it work in their Amapi Pro version either, according to a friend of mine who owns the Pro version.

If it worked, I would start to read the manual.

Can anyone confirm if the scale factor works in Hexagon? Mac or PC?

Thanks Mark!

Good to know. I have been using Michael 1 and I will try something else.

I think I found some of the error. I copied one character as "Save as" in the same folder. When the other copies/instances, what ever, share the same .dyn files, there is something messing up the simulation so it bounces off.

I took the other files in their own folder, opened it, cleared the simulation, and made a new simulation, where it wrote new .dyn files in that folder.

But, I have this nightmare with textures that are applied in Poser. I always have to find them when I load Poser file in C4. I get both dialog to find them manually and C4 dialog that says it can't locate... file.

I have upgraded my system harddrive and I could just copy my backup Poser app. and it worked. Could this have something to do with it?
I will reinstall it now anyway. A bug on the machine is a bug on my brain.

I lifted everything and then it worked out fine. Thanks for the help, guys.

Yeah, this happened to me too! I got a reply that I should place a new order. It was still French, but I managed to guess what was login and password. Then, it transferred to english Paypal when login was correct. That is what worked for me, provided. Snekkis

I DL-ed the latest Terragen beta v0.9 for mac and the free HDRI plugin for it. It saves images to .hdr files so I saw a oppertunity to look at this feature. I rendered the image 1024 x768 and the image was so blurred and zoomed at that camera angle.

I don't know much about HDRI, but I thought that the background should be visable and not only work for reflections.

Should the resolution be very high? Like to know before I test render.

Just curious, Daigoro, when you have Lightwave 8, what do you use/need C4 for? Snekkis

Yes, I find the demo to be useless for me too on my G5 with 64MB nVidia card. I have tried the Vue5 demo on my PC with a 128 ATi card and it was a slow RT there too with a single sphere (???). Maybe it is a demo thing, though the Vue4 Pro demo had no frame drops.

Thanks for sharing, jshoot!

I have tried to use Don and Michael nude now and it is the same. Vue 5 Demo does not import the jpg texture.

Thanks, I will check that out!

I live in Norway and we are not a member of EU. Still we are teachers pet with France and Germany's EU, because of applying EU laws without hesetation through our EEC membership. Talk about stupids, duh!

Half of us want to abandon sovereignty to the new EU, half of us don't.

I, personally, would like to be a new state under the USA instead.

Why not? I would get cheaper Carrara!

:-)

Yes, I know. Thats why I had hope to be able to use the GI render with only the sun light.

Both good and bad to know about the memory issue. Good that it was not my pair of rams, bad that it actually is a software problem. Looking forward to that new patch, though. Making this in GI, I believe could make the lighting easier.

I'm thinking about the problem if you had to make a real photo shot, the soldier would then only be a silouette and the city would be under exposed. To have measured the light for seeing details over the city would in that case have over exposed the sunset. ... I think. I find this lighting difficult.

But thanks again everyone!
