Hey all, I have an update to my freebie marigold that contain some fixes by Ronstuff that allows P5 users to actually enjoy the model (sorry folks, I'll not do that again:( ) However, before I humiliate myself even further, I was hoping someone would be kind enough to check out a file for me (I'll have the folks at PP update their verison, but also make an announcement here as well with an update that is smaller:) and verify that all is good (actually, hopefully better:) The current version renders somewhat blotchy on some parts of the plant due to reversed normals...which apparently don't show up in P4 renders. IM me if you are interested Thanks, eric

Let me quickly add that it is STILL a great model - just making it look as good as it should for Poser 5 fans. I also was really impressed with your Coleus plants - the textures and morphs are fantastic. I just hope that you continue to come out with these stunning models :-)

Would seem that one of my lights in the previous entries was a freakin' spotlight! Gah...

Nice Toon BTW - but not what we are talking about. If your lighting is normal lighting (no hotspots), then it appears that ALL of these images are showing the inverse shading caused by reversed normals. This is strictly a Poser 5 issue but affects both the P4 and Firefly renders done in P5. It also appears that the ambient color and value may have been cranked up and this will mask the shading problems too. Ambient color should be black and ambient value should be zero for objects which are not self-illuminated or transluscent (such as a lampshade or lightbulb) Backface renders done in Poser 4 and ProPack do not shade in this manner. In other words, the "Poser 4" render engine in P5 is NOT the same as the render engine in Poser 4 or ProPak - particularly with things like this. From the looks of it, all the images you say are Poser 4 renders appear to be Poser 5 renders with the "P4" option which is not the same thing as a true Poser 4 or ProPak render. In any event, the purpose of this thread is to solicit beta testers for the corrected OBJ. So your input is appreciated, but not exactly responsive to the topic. If you want to test the new OBJ and compare the new renders with these renders, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
