if you use the combo Vue / Poser and have difficulties to integrate more than two or three Poser figures in a Vue scene, I just finished a project you may find interesting. It's in the link above.

You will find a highres image, an animation and a 15 pages Making Of with illustrations in PDF format.

Enjoy !

That's an excellent scene and tutorial. Well done, Frederic. Though, I would have liked to have seen less compression in your tutorial images. I learned a lot. Thanks again. :)

Thanks! Very cool scene. A tip: it's often possible to use procedural shaders on the outfits too. The elven warrior outfit for example: except for the tunic I replaced every texture by a built-in or tweaked procedural. It'll take more time to set up, but the reduction in resource usage makes up for it. There are some very nice procedural materials for dragon skin available. I've used those on SA's Alpha and Havoc, since their texture maps were way too heavy for the scene, and a reduced mat just didn't look good.

NIce tutorial on optimization, Frederic (and image to go along with it.... ;) )!
