I would have sworn I'd seen one somewhere....:huh:
Acadia? Anyone?

<-insert words of wisdom here->

Hmmm... How would you like it? I did a quick search in goggle & the shapes vary widely! Show me a link to a pic of what you want & i'll make it for you in a snap! Markus

I believe there was one in last years Christmas Gifts here.

The only other one that I know of is this one. Not sure if that's what you want.

Nice find Acadia! That's the "Round" type. There's also the ones you find in "Souvenir" shops. It's width is about 75% of it's length... That's the one i'm doing now. just need to check the UVMapping on it & it's ready to ship... :-) I'll post a preview here in a few moments. Markus

Thanks everyone. The round type is actually what I'm looking for, but with a smaller base than the one at Irenes place....... :m_thoughtful:
Kind of similar to the one in Acadia's avatar, actually. :)

Ahhh!  I made that one in PSP.

Darn it! Well here's a Prev of the one i just did! I'll make you the one you want in a bit... ;-) Markus

There was a smaller round one from RDNA Christmas last year.  Maybe the link is still up there and you can get it there?

Well, that one looks pretty cool too!
Any chance of getting both? 
The generosity of the people here never ceases to amaze me.....:biggrin:

The only one I found at RDNA is the one linked here in their store.....was this last years freebie?

<-insert words of wisdom here->

No. The one from their freebie had a bit taller base. 

Ooops, I just looked. It also had a hampster in it, so it wasn't just a plain one.

Yep, you can have both! here's a quickie of the round one. is the base Ok for you? i can change it's heigth easily. If that suits your needs, then i'll have both ready in 25 minutes for Poser. Just message me with your email. And i shall send them your way! Markus p.s.: I didn't go easy on the polyCount, cause i usually like my stuff hi-Res for CloseUps. How would you like them? Lo, Med or Hi? :-))

Hmm... Just checked RDNA's one! Nice multiple bases. i just realized that the Globe Base(Glass) should either be flat or just cut out. I'll fix that now. For the Base texturing, you can just use whatever Wood tex you have on hand... So my globes will be textureless. But, UVMapped! Anyhow, i'm offline in 30 minutes. If i don't get your email by then, i'll send them first thing in the morning... Later! Markus

I just found this one in my Runtime.... its labelled as NWS-Snowglobe and NWS-Snowman, but... I can't remember who NWS is... or where I got it from   :crying:

The globe is nice in that... it can be used empty or with  the falling snow bits and the ground snow has morphs. The snowman comes seperate.

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"

Ooooh! Nice one Ziggie! Didn't think about the SnowFlakes! Doh! Don't know who NWS is either. Unless it stands for NetherWorks? Markus

I think NWS is Netherworks Studios??

3D commune  has one by cooler in freestuff:

btw Draconian, that is awesome work!! :)

Just checked my Geometries folder... the globe I posted was by Netherworks...

Just checked through their site, but couldn't find it. I think it was a freebie a year or 2 ago.

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"

Ah! So, it is NetherWorks! Checked the FS here & at his site, but no Globe... :-( Thanks Fyrene! I wouldn't call this modeling. More like 'Doodling'.. :-O Anyways, i might refine them & add a few details & pop them to the FS section later. The least i can do for such a wonderful community. ;-) Dolce Sogno! Markus

Yup. I went and checked NWS site too. It has completely changed!!!! 

Looking forward to your snowglobes :)

I remember that one. Last year Christmas as well if I'm not mistaken.

any chance of making these available to everyone ... they are great ... gee I wish I was talented and could make them .. but I dont have an idea where to even start Sheila

Sheila, it's a defenite possibility! As sson as i'm happy with the finals, i'll look for a host(Maybe Planit3D), since they already have my Boxing stuff there. They are easier to do then you think. I just drew a Spline(Line with control points) that makes half the shape of it, then i simply droped it in a "lathe object"(Lathe is simply a process of revolving a shape around an axis, can be any angle between 1 & 360 degrees) & i can tell also how many "cross sections" to use, to have different resolutions... So, talent has nothing to do with it, just experience with all the 3D tools available to me... ;-) Actually, you could make them in poser by just using a Sphere & a cylinder & a bit of creative use of Magnets... Dos anyone remember a cool freebie(Maybe) of paticles, that had different alpha maps included to make anything from petals to sparkles??? Anyways, RedHawk it's in your MailBox! Later, Markus

Here's a better render of it, with something inside... :-) Markus

That is Very nice..! I love the glass..! I doubt that was rendered in Poser..? If so... how on Earth did you get the glass to look like that..?

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"

Ziggie, Rendered in C4D with one SpotLite. But, you can get similar results in poser5+ The trick to Glass or any shinny surface is 2fold: Lite placement & environment map. For anything like Glass & Car paint i use a simple BW Map made of white Circles & squares on Black. It makes for pretty cool effects. Another trick one can use in case of ice or Glass Globes is to have them illuminated from the inside instead... Just restrict the lite's effect to the glass only. Just noticed a flaw in this render, there should be a thin ouline shadow of the glass projecting on the floor. hmmm.... I think the thickness of the glass is not enough. I will remedy that before i pack the final files. Anyhow, i'm off to work! Ciaos! Markus

Thanks for the info Draconian.

BTW... the glass shadow is showing in that pic... down in the left hand corner...

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"

Well, as long as we're showing off our snowglobes, here's the one made by Traveller.  Rendered in P4 no less!   This was one of the Props Club items from a couple of years ago.  The snowman was a seperate PC item.  The snowglode came with 5 or 6 bases and a globe with and without snow.  I'm not sure if it was ever available for sale?  It would probably be an RuntimeDNA if so.

Yup... it is at RDNA...

Oh good!  Not that I'm trying to advertize anything, but joining Traveler's Props Club is a good way to get lots of cool items for very cheap and he's always open to requests for the weekly PC item.

Here's another free snowglobe

See, Ziggie! P4 render & looks great! :-) Well, i won't compete with Traveler. So, i won't include the multiple bases & they come untextured. But, are easy to texture. They do however have the front "Plaque" for adding a text or logo... ;-) The flakes will simply be single polys floating about. BTW, Ziggie! Love your Nick! Anything to do with Z... Stardust? Bonne Soiree a tous! Markus

Quote - BTW, Ziggie! Love your Nick! Anything to do with Z... Stardust? Bonne Soiree a tous! Markus

 

No, nothing to do with that Ziggy, although I do love everything Bowie has done. Not so keen on his knives though.

Mine was due to unconventional (read insane) parents who named their kids starting at the back of the Baby Names book.

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"

LOL Ziggie! It's a Mad, Mad world out there! Ah Nice find Mystic-nights! BTW, any of you know where i can find a 'Whinnie de Poh'? I need to make a special pic for my niece. If not, i'll have to make it myself. probably have to make the Donkey too. Darn it. So many thingies to do, so little time. Markus

I'll be re-releasing our snowglobe sometime today.  I'll notify you all when it's ready. :)

Cool..! Thanks Neverworks..   :thumbupboth:

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"

oooo! Hey everyone! You should definately check out page 1 at 3DUniverse for their Ug! Figure. I bought him retail when he was at RDNA and he's FREE now and soooo much fun! He makes a great furry Cyclops when you run his whole body through the hair room!
