Awesome!!! Thanks Alain. You are the BEST!

Forgive me for my ignorance! But what is the meaning of "3 things"? Are we going to make pictures with 3 objects only? (plus the sea & island) ?

Focus works just like a normal camera. The presetting I believe is 35mm in Vue. If you take a real camera and set the focus at 35mm; the way the picture would have come up in the camera will come up the same way in Vue. So, naturally when you set the focus at 100 you are just bringing everything closer (to be precise VERY VERY close)! :-) And blur is just to create more depth. Just like when you adjust your camera focus at some point the picture becomes a bit blurry (too close or out of focus). Hope it helps!

Thanks MP for the lead (link). I still think dlk's problem is somewhere in the background. Could very well be swap. Or may be run time? lol ... dlk, if you are crashing Windows while cleaning up Task Manager, then you must be closing wrong files! You supposed to look into the files (image names) that has Your name (User) next to it. You can play safe by just cleaning out your system tray at the beginning and see if it helps. PS. dlk, I know a place they make nice wigs and price is very reasonable. LOL

MP is fast! I have to agree with him on trees ... For background using hundreds and thousand trees are not a smart move! Use alphas, very time and memory efficient. Why push yourself into Vue pit!

I had this sindrome last summer. I did a vast search of all the related questionares available in this forum. The solutions I have found from here and my own ideas, I concluded that, "The concurring saving issues are either caused by runtime errors OR import of a corrupted object." I may be VERY wrong and probably is; but since then I never had that problem again. So, you ready for this? :-) I THINK layers, grouping etc. are great help moving Vue faster and prevents it from freezing; but saving is a different animal. First idea, "run-time issue" ... Think about it, even if you try to move a BIG file from one folder to another folder it doesn't happen in a snap, it takes a few seconds. Same principal applies, when you are trying to save the LARGE Vue file it will eventually take a little time! Which is probably halted by some other program running in the background. So, I suggest you close all background programs, make sure your firewall is up & running and then work with your big Vue files. I am little sceptical about my second idea, so I'll hang on to it for now. :-) Let me know if this works for you, that way I'll know my research paid off! :-)
