Hi, my name is Rich. I was born in 1953 and have lived in San Francisco, CA for 60 years.
For the past few years, I've been busy in another area of my life. I know that I haden't posted during that time and I thank you for all of your comments on my past work. Thank you also for your comments on my most recent posts, as they are very much appreciated.
The versions of Vue that I use are Vue 6 Easel and Vue 7 Fantasy. Neither have any additional Modules. I can only populate one grass object and two tree objects (the Cinnamon tree and the Larch tree which came free with the "Lush Western Mountain Trees" package from C3D), the rest is all done by placing the objects one at a time on the canvas. I manage to make some of my own ground covers (some with flowers) and modify the tree foliage and bark, as well as retexturing or painting any buildings I may use in my scenes. It's quite a challenge having to work with very few options, but it still produces a finished product, one that I can live with and accept, knowing that I've done my best with what I have to work with.
My money goes toward the purchase of any musical instruments and equipment, as opposed to spending it on high-end versions of Vue. But with what versions of Vue I do have, it gets me by and at the same time, I have fun and it does reduce a certain level of stress in my life.—Rich
The gifts that I've been given—Somehow help to keep me sane,
At times when I may struggle—In the depths of all my pain.
You wouldn't know by looking—But it's there in its own way,
And though you might not notice—I still struggle every day.

Nice job, it looks like a cottage from a fairytale. Once upon a time, In a faraway kingdom, there lived a stone cutter and his family. They lived in a fairly good sized house, for he was the stone cutter to the king and the nobles. One day while working on the castle keep the stone cutter overheard a plot of treason involving the kings nephew William. The king had no heir of his own and the crown would fall to William if the king should die. The king was a good fair man. He always took his subjects in complete regard when passing laws and ordinances. If they did not benefit them whole heartily they did not come to be. With a king this just, the stone cutter could not understand why anyone would aid William in upseating his uncle. For William was cruel and dark....................
