In Poser or DS 4 (or using a modelling application) you should be able to group the rubble and assign it to a new material, if you want to lose it. You could even split it into new objects if desired. Of course that does depend on what’s behind it, but I’ve done the like with various sets when I’ve wanted extra flexibility.

Yeah, like I said, I’ve assigned new material groups before—but it would have been nice to have it set up that way to begin with.

Here’s looking down on the main area without loading in the pyramid and altar, and with no extra props loaded. I cranked up the ambient lighting for you and turned off the ambient on the fire materials.

Thank you, that helps to clarify it enormously.

The back doorway there has cobwebs in it. The front wall has two more statues. Here’s a quick one looking out the doorway you can see in the first picture (lower quality, sorry).

And here’s a quick one of the props and the dias and altar

Heh, you tipped me over into buying it. Now, I really don’t need to buy Cthulhu to occupy it do I?

Thank you.
I think I am going to have fun with these sets.

Ancient Prophecies rendered with Reality/LuxRender.

Can’t wait to do some AVP renders

What’s the deal? I bought this when it first came out. I was going through Faveral"s store and noticed my renders were different then the promo pics and was missing a few things! I just did this render to show what I get. Notice the difference? Why? I really would like to have this fixed!!!

The details on the walls are done via displacement maps.  Make sure rendering of displacement maps is turned on.

Thanks! The reply was a lot faster then what I expected!  Got most of it figured out…still missing some on the center panel , around the head sculpture and along the bottom[/size]. maybe I haven’t found the displacement maps for that yet like I had to for the others. Why weren’t the displacement maps in the right places right out of the box so to speak?

They should be - unless you use the Poser version in DAZ Studio, when the displacement maps will not be set. Make sure you use the DS format version, or apply the DS material presets if there are any, and you should be fine.

That’s where the problem is…....I used the poser version on Daz I believe! A very big thank you to all!
