Not sure if this will be helpful to you but this is a progrm that I use to view HDR files. It's called HDRView. http://www.debevec.org/FiatLux/hdrview/

Seems ridiculous to me that I was charged 3 times for GST. I got the same thing when I ordered some stuff from Think Geek through Purolator. I just wonder if it's cheaper through UPS. A get together would be great. It would be interesting to see how many of us there are.

Just curious... I live in Calgary too and was happy with the prompt delivery but I used Purolator and have recieved an invoice from them for $34.24. It was for brokerage, GST etc. Did you get the same from UPS?

Well, I just installed the update and no it did not fix the problem with the Zygote mats. Is anyone else having a problem with them or is it just me?

Does this update fix the missing Zygote materials?

Yes, you will need to change the name of the image to a .png extention. When you press ok another window will pop up (a dos window). It won't tell you the progress of the render but as soon as the render is done the window will go away on its own so don't close it. Zbootsboy, You are very welcome :) I really suck at creating tutorials but maybe one of the very talented people here would be willing to make one.

Use the "Export Flame" option under the file menu. Render your image in the .png format and you will get a transperant background. Make sure that you set the path for the Export Renderer in the option menu to the HQI renderer. It can be found in the same directory as the Apophysis exe.

Congrats! It's a wonderful piece.

Thank you all for your help. I know it will just take some playing and practice but Urchin, I may just take you up on that offer :)

Well, this is pretty cool :) Thank you for choosing my image for "Featured Fractal" and thanks to all who have commented on it!

Are you talking about resizing just the selection (marching ants)? If so then use the menu option SelectTransform Selection. Or SelectModifyExpand or Contract.

Yes, I really like the way it turned out and I would like to make it usable. I have a few images in mind for her.I took a break from it because it was giving me a headache but I'll try your suggestion to see if that works. If not I'll have to try and model the catsuit part myself. Couldn't be that hard ...(yah right) I tried removing the vn lines, didn't work and I didn't see any g lines. I found remapping other products easy but since I've put 3 together it's a lot harder. I'm determined though and I will figure it out. I admire those of you who can model the clothing themselves (Anton comes to mind). Thank you for all your suggestions and thanks for the compliment pragask.

Since I've already played with the .obj file so much now will I have to redo the whole process of importing the pieces into poser and make it conformable? Is it best to do the mapping process before you bring the file into Poser? Excuse my ignorance on this as this is the first time I've tried to do this. Seems like a lot of work for something I won't be able to sell or even give away, although it is good practice for future projects. And yah, I would rather get my car painted :)

Wow, I didn't think it would be so complicated :) Thank you for all the advice. I will try all the things mentioned here and I will definitly look into the CR2Edit program. Seems as though maybe Raydream isn't the right choice for projects like this. Maybe I'll have to forget about getting my car painted and look into getting Max or something :) Thanx again.
