    Baglet, can't you just change the smoothing angle from DS 89.9 down to something like 50, usually work well when importing to Vue.

    The smoothing angle never seems to stick. I save objects and the smoothing angle gets reset.

    So I do all the export, tidy up and that usually fixes things permanently. I wish they would fix the obj import but they are too busy with everything else.

    Struggling to make the new website appear but the cat has come back. He just walked in and started shouting for food. He has been fed by somebody - maybe students. We're in a student area.

    Save how? it's a material setting so you need, as far as I know, to use a native format (Scene, Scene subset, prop asset or a materials file).

    Which Vue version? I've never had any problems with that. Vue 9 -> 2014

    I'm on Vue 11 at present. I should get 2014 soon.

    It keeps me occupied when I'm not trying to fix websites.

    Got in a mess because I rebooted - the setting must have been primed to switch machines. So I'm sticking it on the cloud server. It doesnt need much - just a web server and php as I have junked servlets after the mess with Tomcat 7 (the servlet engine not the cat who is called Tom Paine).

    Finally got a chance to play with Tertius, had to get a render in (out of one of those lovely windows) before hitting the hay:

    I've made Tertius into a seaport castle below the rocky cliffs.

    Turned Chirocrates and the water from Bridge for Chirocrates into a fierce battle to save Willy in my last RRRR render.

    I like that one with Cherocrates - lots happening. It really is a good set.

    Over in the freepository - more vue mats and images

    Surfaces - paths and paving plus some seaweed rocks and scree. The scree does not look good close up but is fine at a distance. The seaweed is dried seaweed at a local nature reserve near the Thames estuary - the water is a long way out and muddy.


    Woodland 1 - types of woodland in the fall. Plus olive grove ground from when husband was at a workshop in Tuscany.

    Woodland 2 - general woodland from local woods and the Vercors region of France.

    ...now that the challenge is over, here's what I did to some of your sets (hope you don't mind the fact I'bashed" them up a bit)

    The first is Aslan Court2 combined with Moonshine's Diner. The Shades on the chandeliers over the booths are actually the diner's roof which I modified using the Polygon Selection Tool to create new material zones as well as Real Metal Shaders.

    In the second I turned Cista Sanctus into a pub.

    Nice! and of course I don't mind people kit-bashing.. it's why I take the time and energy to split everything up. Would be far easier and quicker to just have a single object of the entire scene ;)

    Totte,

    The world's three most dangerous predators:

    1) Polar Bear
    2) Tiger
    3) Lion.

    That guard would end up being eaten by his guard cat.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Jack,

    Separating out buildings within a complex scene also makes it much easier to use clever camera angles.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Yeah, but in the days before it happened he'd look cool ;)

    What about crocodiles?Beautiful animals, like the big cats, but they give me the creeps. Hmmm.... A crocodile in Danaides would be great... See you soon!

    Although, if you want to expand that to include critters not actually all that interested in eating you, top spot would have to go to one of the major man-killers in Africa — the hippo. They're just that bad-tempered, it's easy to surprise them with sudden movements, and their first instinct is apparently to convert whatever bothers them into mulch.

    I've heard about the vicious territoriality of the hippo, as well. I've been to safari parks where you can drive within single-figure feet of the rhinos with no problems but the hippos are securely fenced off in their own enclosure, well away from visitors.

    Incidentally, the Indian Elephant can also be seriously bad news to the unwary. I don't think the death toll is in the same league as the hippo but a seriously cheesed off Elephant is definitely something to avoid.
