Have to say I hate how 3DCommune wants to resize my browser everytime....
Best of luck on another super package.

Yes, a great package indeed. Another must buy. Thanks!

(I totally agree with Chipp, it's really, really annoying that resize thing. And the site design in general is also not user friendly, IMO. I only visit that site for your packages and then I leave as quickly as I can.)

FInally!  Finally some terrific looking rock mats.  I am adding this to my cart tonite.  THx for this.

Thanks folks....

Yes, I agree totally with the annoyances of the Commune design. I've seen the new site that's getting prepared to go up and those issues will be no longer.

I hope you get plenty of use out of this one...

In the meantime, here are some tips for using the Rock package......

Great product - another must have!  Thanks for this! 

Sorry I am late to this Rock Concert, hold up at the door you know ;^D
This really looks Fantastic Mark. The layers between each rock really
give the viewer the effect of real rockfaces, Very Nice Package!!!!!

This is going to save me a metric buttload of time creating rocks in ZBrush!
Very nice set of materials and things - they look really good with the limited testing I've been able to do so far

hmmmm...I just might have to snag this...:D  Lots o' possibilities...

hm just a question but am I the only one who would want to create it all on my own?

Of course not.

This kit and other products like it are not only for artists not so inclined, but for those who savor convenience and (as is my hope) those who learn by taking things apart and seeing how they are put together.

As a content creator, I also collect other creator's content.

Quote - for those who learn by taking things apart and seeing how they are put together.

Certainly one of the best ways to learn with Vue is by delving deeper into successful projects and materials to learn how they were made. I can't tell you how much I learned by studying Erka's scenes and tutorials, as well as dissecting Monsoon's SeaVue.

And vice versa.....looking inside of Chipps TerraPak materials, I learned about the slope node which I couldn't get clicked in my head and fractal mixing and I never knew you could change your mats to vibrant colors when mixing. The obvious isn't always so. InteriorPak solves the mysteries of interior lighting and TerrPak, material mixing.

Many of us make our own stuff for our own use as well. It's in the areas where one has little or no skill that you compensate with a fellow artist's creations. For skies, which I'm no good at, I favor Filippe, Bruno, Deadhead and Trepz. (I have to get out of the habit of just using Vue's default). For water and seasonal collections, I collect GillB and some Martin Frost. For vegetation, I collect Linda's Lush and Wabe's avant gaurde plants and, through Poser, Runtime DNA. For models...anything I can get my hand on because I suck at it. For addons and Vue tools, there's Chipp's VueTools, InteriorPak and AltTerrain and of course, DBurdick's fab SkinVue.

If one has the time and inclination, it's always prudent to study and learn the tools to make your own stuff, but time can be a rare commodity. That's why I think Vue content creators try to fill the missing parts of Vue and extend the parts already there.

So if you want to make your own stuff, I applaud you. If you think it's good, then pack it up and throw it out there on the market. Nothing to lose, play money to gain, and the more the merrier!

Didn't mean to be long winded here but, in short, I think content creation can be an art in itself.

Thanks Monsoon, great as always :o)
