That makes matters simpler. I was missing height and width, but the same cropping methods will work, now that I know which way is up. Next time I will have the entry ready earlier. I only bought Poser 11 a few weeks ago, and The Forest Awakes was my first (completed) render. I may take you up on the offer of help, and really appreciate your help in figuring out where I went wrong.

Good to know. To give me an idea of where the problem crept in, could you tell me the dimensions of the thumbnail (in pixels)? It would let me figure out whether the issue is that the conversion program does not give an absolute 350&300, if it was an earlier file version, or that the file when opened on my system gives different dimensions than those received. I'm not sure if the file was 350 by less than 300, 349 by 299, or something else.

I appreciate your looking into this, I won't spend time working competition pieces until I can solve this issue.

I just looked at the new metal textures. Lovely! I'm giving my son sets to construct a space ship for his birthday, and will point him to your site when he begins mulling how to modify the textures/style. I've been working on creating bump maps from a physical angle, creating tga files and displacement maps that I can combine with seamless texture tiles to get an appropriate overall texture in a render. Admittedly I'm not producing many renders yet, and far fewer with postwork done, but having a blast learning how it all works.

Great! I took a look at the requirements for posting, and should have items ready and properly bundled into a zip file, and a thumb nail ready to post for approval next week.

I've bookmarked your site Eric_Matyas, and look forward to exploring. If you are looking for texture requests, high quality fabric textures, which are seamless without looking like a cheesy print, are what I've had trouble finding. Sweater knits, lace, and items which have a more pronounced textures (damask, seersucker, tweed, dupioni silk), have been hard to find. If you ever need background foliage for a specific project (either backdrop or 2.5d elements on a transparent background), send me a message. Cai
