I have seen this problem before in this forum. I did all the searches so I wouldn't bring up another thread. I am unable to find it. Anyone know what is causing this. These dots on the windshield and chrome parts.

Try scaling up 1000%.

Sorry. What am I suppose to scale 1000%? The image size?

Not the image. You need to scale the entire scene. The problem, as I recall, is that the rendering engine can't handle the tiny scale of Poser scenes. Scale everything up, and the rendering engine will be happy.

Here'd be a good place for a Python script, one to scale everything up, adjust the lights to cover the same area, move the camera and do whatever else needs to be adjusted. Not to shamelessly drop hints or anything. ;)

You can find the full explaination of this problem over at RDNA's P5 forum. Here's the link to the thread.

The link doesn't work.

Sorry about that - forgot that the http:// was already there. Try this one.

I really like to thank you all for the help. :-) Will show my result, when done.

From what I can see, you are off to a great start - the materials and lighting are working very nicely except for the raytrace problem. The easiest way to scale the scene is to add a Poser primitive box and then parent everything to it. Then scale the box up to 1000% and re-frame your camera. Before rendering turn the visibility of the box off so that it does not render.

Althought I am able to scale 1000%. The only thing that is not able to scale up is the lights. They are small (Tiny). So, is their any python scripts around for lighting increase scale?


ronstuff ( ) posted Sun, 19 September 2004 at 9:26 PM

If they are spotlights, they can be parented to your box and they will scale with the scene. You can parent them in the heirarchy editor, but you need to put a checkmark in the "show lights" box to see them. If the lights are infinite, they do not need to be scaled because they have no point location, they only direction which is not affected by the scale.

Ah...ok..thanks... :-)
