I can't find really nice pottery anywhere...  I want tree-size terracotta pots that I can scale up or down without problems. 

I need big pots and have some reference pics.

An assortment of styles (maybe 5 - 7) would be fine. I don't need textures.
It's worth $20.00 just to be able to scale them.

It's for Vue 6

Thank you!

Cornucopia had some roman style pots that worked well for several of my renders (Scaled them rather large)
here's a plain terracotta pot: http://www.chromesphere.com/3dmodels.html
A few fancier ones: http://www.3dcommune.com/3d/freeview.mv?3DC_Model_Bank+yNigOyNPp+1142028602
Lots of them out there, just look for OBJ or 3DS files.

I would be happy to model some for you for a few $$ but you might want to try looking around for some freebies.  There are plenty of them out there and you will be able to save a few greenbacks.

I found pots, but they weren't big enough for a tree... Like palms. 

I can use primitives, but it's not the same.  This calls for the keen eye.
 

Quote - Do you mean these kind of pots?

Nice assortment! Make them yourself, or where did you get them?

Thank you so much for the links! 
I searched every possible combination for pots. Found pictures, but only 2 or 3 looked okay.

Again, Thank you!

@ **AboranTouristCouncil no man,I just did a search fpr Terracotta pots on thr net.These would be VERY simple to make though no problem at all.

BillyGoat,I am not sure why you say there not big enoigh for trees.Can you not just resize them in the X,Y,Z, till you get what you want?

Years ago I bought a set of pots by Ozzfest. They were perfect!
But when I tried to scale them up they got all wonky on me. I can't explain what happened, but they lost the shape (urn) and got all bumpy.  Like it lost it's coordinates.This was in Vue 4.
I think they were .3ds, so that may be why.

I like the look of palm trees in large pots around buildings, pools, patios, etc.
TurboSquid has a lot of pots, but is beyond my budget.

I'll try the primitives in V6 next.

...or you could use sPatch http://www.geocities.com/getspatch/index.html ; a tiny program in which you can easily create the shape you want by making a 2D curve and then click "Lathe" for a 3D object.

Did you try importing them to Poser exporting as an object and try them in Vue that way?
Don't know if it will work but worth a try.

Hey gurl! Thanks for the idea... i'll give it a try

And thanks for SPatch - I just got it.

Thanks for all the help :-)

Hi!  I just made the post about Animators wanted for motion picture.  I modeled the car and engine in the post!  http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2739346

I can make you some really cool pots.  It's not about the money....  I'll just do it if you can use or convert Lightwave .lwo objects.  What kind of scene?  Like by a building, a path or driveway?  A row of them maybe? 

I agree about the object scaling.  All my experience tells me objects scale vector style and shouldn't displace any points or polygons?  Let me know if this will help?
