Howdy.
The last couple of times i've tried to do a animation render, the plant leaves seem to be moving without me telling them to do anything; What i'm doing is importing a p6 walk sequence, then putting in stock plants, trees, a terrain or 2, and thats pretty much it, i can't think of any reason the tree leaves would be doing any moving at all. any thoughts?
I'm using Vue 5, mover 5 & Poser 6.

You say you use Vue5, is it Esprit ? Or Infinite?

Plants in Esprit are not supposed to move, but in Infinite wind is apllied to plants by default, so they move in the breeze without you telliong them to, unlesss you uncheck wind in the atmosphere editor.

But if you use Esprit, I'm lost...

vue d'esprit 5, "basic" i suppose.

"basic"? Looks like it's Esprit. When you say the leaves move, how do they move? Only the leaves move, and not the trunks? Could it be that in the material editor of your plants you entered values in " origin of material" and "velocity of material"? These values are found in the "effect "tab of the material editor.

If so, your textures are animated. If not, I really don't know what's happening!

Realdeal; What are your render settings? The plant leaves are alpha planes, and with the right settings (or wrong, and the case may be) you can get flickering shadows among them, making it look as if they are moving.
