I love They Might Be Giants. :) Actually, I want a rock prop a plain ol' big rock. It doesn't need textures. Does anybody know of such a thing being out there?

There are a few in the FreeSection you might try looking for "rock" or "spyre" and also Mitch's site has a few nice rocks I think in OBJ format

I sit on a rock because someone keeps moving my chair.

If you have Bryce, you can export a rock. Select the rock and click on the little E button for Edit, then type Ctrl D and it will take you to a save window. Just tell it to save it as an OBJ and you can import it into Poser. I've done this and it works great. If you texture the rock before you export it from Bryce, it should bring the texture with it.

Thanks! It didn't occur to me to do a search under 'all' free stuff. Silly me. I found a few, we'll see how they work. I don't have Bryce, unfortunately, and neither the budget nor the hard drive space even to think about it, much though a nice Brycely rock is precisely the sort of thing I was thinking about. Honestly, though, I'm having a wonderful time but I'd rather be whistling in the dark. ;)

Also, if you have a modelling program with a Noise modifier, like 3DS Max, just make a sphere or ovoid, and apply a lot of fractal noise, then a lighter amount on top of that.. Bingo! Instant rock.

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!

Ya know, there's quite a few of us without Bryce that could really use more simple stuff like this that may appear too common & basic for Bryce users to trifle with exporting & posting. (...but they reallly would be appreciated.)

I agree Nance... I am, I admit it, a hobbyist, using Poser to do character sketches and lighting effects... I do not have, nor can I afford, much less can I spare the time to learn, a high-end modeler like Bryce. Poser is my video game (given that most of my friends buy in excess of 6 games a year, easily exceeding the cost of Poser, I can justify the expense to myself particularly as I never play games). But once one has such a powerful tool, one really wants to play with it lots. We get loads of beautiful textures for clothing, and some really amazing specific props, but it's simple things like rocks, which a decent modeler can knock off in 15 minutes, that we're lacking. I've been posing since Poser 2 but I couldn't model a rock to save my life!

Actually, Bryce isn't a high end modeler, it's a terrain generator that creates landscape scenes, but some of the things such as terrain objects and rocks can be exported from it. Melanie

Nance, Strangechilde, go and download anim8or! It's free! You can make all sorts of things with it. Here's one a prepared earllier. *g* All apps I used are free except for Poser and PS for the textures, they are: anim8or, uvmapper, elefont. I'd never modelled before! This is my first ever obj. *g*

a sweet disorder in the dress kindles in clothes a wantoness,
do more bewitch me than when art is too precise in every part

That's lovely! But I'm on a Mac... Anim8or is PC only, isn't it? Too bad for me.
