Does anyone know where to find a disco globe for Poser, you know those big turning globes with all tiny mirrors

If you have uv mapper, you can use the Poser Ball Prop to make one. A disco ball is just a sphere made of a lot of facets (the mirrors). Since the poser ball is so crap, it's made of very few facets and works quite well. But it needs to have it's vertices split to make the rounded edges flat, which you can do in uv mapper. Split them at a low number (I used 10). Here's a pic of the poser ball split (left) and normal (right). You can also create a sphere in uv mapper and choose the number of facets for it. The problem of course, would be the mirrors. Not really possible in Poser, but you could fake it. mac

Poser 5 can do the mirrors. Just set the materials as highly reflective.

Maclean, thanks for the tips, It looks like it's would do the trip, only downside is I have a demo version of UV Mapper that doesn't save models only templates. the full version is about $ 50,- for as I remember.

UVMapper Classic is free, and will split the vertices quite nicely.

ok, I got the disco ball...is there any way to make it look decent in Poser 4?

Try different reflection maps (like chrome and silver) to see what looks the best. Set the strength for 50% or better. Experiment with various shades of grey for the material color as well. Hope this helps!

...and when the day is dawning...I have to say goodbye...a last look back into...your broken eyes.

Pointing a few coloured spotlights at the thing can help, also.

Propsguild has a really nice one too.
