Have just finished the Palace for my Amazones. Hope i can do the texture on thuesday. What i'm interested is, have somebody problems with a filesize of 3MB for the Prop and maybee 1MB for the texture. Suggestions really needed. SHARKEY

Looks cool and I don't have a proble with it .. Just might put a warning on the thumbnail ...

No probs here.... maybe if enough complain you could "break it up" into byte sized chunks? like 1.44? Winzip and PowerArchiver have this option.... just a thought... Cheers and looks great )

Wow! That looks Great Robert! You mean the file size for poser don't you!? Well i'm used to see my son open files with a dozen props & as many figures without probs... :-) I can see the 'Lucious' marble Stairs, the Exquisite Stained Windows, the walls inlaid with Gold, ... I'm getting excited here! Fitting Palace for a Queen! Marc

As long as it's worth the wait to download, I have no problem with a 3 or 4MB download, and from that picture, this will be worth the wait to download it...

That's looking very impressive Robert, very impressive indeed. I don't have a problem with a d/load of that size, just put a note on the thumbnail stating just how big it is so everyone knows before they start downloading. Paul

No problem here...I agree with everyone else, just place a wari=ning on the file size and it should be fine :) The only other things I can think of to say are W.O.W!!!! and I'm definitely hanging out for this prop! Beautiful work Robert!!! Regards Eshal

Thanks much for your suggestions, especially Viomar. I had in fact minded to to some parts in marble, but the walls with gold, sounds good. What i have checked by the last month's of doing PP2-Files that the where most of the time smaller then the original object-file. Hopefully this comes also to this. I think the ZIP-File would have like 1,8 to 2Megs, because the object had right now 3,07Megs. One more question, because this Prop is really big, the textures must also be big like 3000x3000. Would this be a problem ? SHARKEY

Problems? What problems!? Looks fantastic Sharkey. And file size is no problem. It looks very much worth it.

It's always better to have a HiRes Texture to start with! If the user finds it's too big for his/her purposes, they can always "Downsize it"! And from everyone's reply so far! I'd say Go for it! :-) As for my Texturing suggestions, i was watching an old sinbad movie when i saw Your "Masterpiece"... ;-) Regards! Marc

That really cool Robert! Like a scene out of 1001 Arabian Nights... Eric

3000x3000 eh?..... well I guess I could always enlarge it ) Seriously Rob.... no problems at all... most of the people running Poser are full aware of the realestate that the programmes "additions" will add ) Let me know when you're posting/ selling.... Cheers mate

When you have done your texture, test the size of a TIFF in a zip file vs a JPEG. If the size is close enough, a TIFF is better for resizing. One other suggestion: if you use the layer ("[" =hide) function in UVMapper, you can put different materials on different layers and use 2 or 3 or more 1000 x 1000 maps. It would take 9 1000 x 1000 maps to equal the size of one 3000 x 3000
