If the price is low enough, that would probably solve a lot of headaches the easy way. I'm sorry I didn't remember that old problem when telling you the Classic Content would work fine in USC2. I've owned the original UltraScenery since day 1, so I've never personally experienced these missing file issues.
I don't think there would be any reason for you to need the Accelerator product for the original UltraScenery if you are always going to run UltraScenery2, so don't waste money on that.,
The price is low enough to pick it up right now. I can get it for under ten bucks and save the headaches! In fact I think I'll pick up the Tropical Bundle today as well since it's on sale.
Thank you for the help with this!
And at present there are a few edge cases where it can be useful to use UltraScenery 1 rather than 2.
For example, I've experimented with FilaToon and UltraScenery; it works better to have instances to make visible in Filament mode, and I never figured out a way to make that work with UltraScenery 2.
(There are other issues trying to do this, like memory limits with shadows if you have a LOT of instances, but... what the heck)
I have two UltraScenery 1 images I'd like to share.
Number one: If you go down to the woods today, very early, are lucky and very quiet, you never know quite what you're going to see. MSO Lacey, US1, stone bridge, Woodland 2 (I think), Clear Stream water, and manual sun camera. The deer are freebie fauns from Rendo freebies.
Number two: Excessive enforcement of the 'No Swimming' Notice. It's hot and humid, there's a nearby slightly swampy pool with a jetty. There is a rickety 'No Swimming' Notice that's been there since before you were born. Do you take any notice?
No.
Not until excessive enforcement measures become apparent.
US1, swamp 02 ecology, 18:30 sun-sky settings, and the fairly old Swamp Hydra from the DAZ shop.

Richard
Richard, both are great. The first was so sweet and a moment of quiet joy and the second a laugh and the sign was an understatement. How in the world did a Hydra get into a pond? Or is this a case of a Roman soldier bringing a pet baby one with him to Ancient Britannica and leaving it behind as it grew too big to hide?
@memcneil70, thank you for the kind comments.
The first image started with me wanting to 'Use UltraScenery and the Stone Bridge'. I had no idea what I wanted. Having got the bridge, the figure seemed right, needing to lean on the parapet. And only then did I remember an incident where I was leaning on a bridge in Devon over a 15ftwide/12" deep stream when I had a magical sight of a Doe and her faun crossing the stream through the undergrowth. The bridge had once been a dry stone humpback bridge, about 500 years old, the stream gently chuckling to itself and the banks steep and covered in undergrowth - actual location in Google streetview.
The second image was meant to just be a bit of fun, not thinking too deeply about the origin of the monster. It actually came to me in a matter of moments, then I just needed implement it.
Both images are a bit dark. I was having issues seeing my screen yesterday. My PC is in the conservatory (sun room) and I need to get some shading now that summer is coming along. Last year I didn't get the PC working again until June and as a temporary measure I had a garden parasol shading my screen. Maybe I need to get something similar (or even proper blinds) this year.
Regards,
Richard
I keep a black out curtain on the window behind me. No window glare and it pretty much evens out the light in the room. Only thing, you can;t see out, but that doesn't bother me.
Richard, when my son and I lived in Framlingham I had the feeling that everything was magical and everything I had ever read in Fantasy was possible. My street was called 'The Knoll' and was wonderful. My son has never forgot the neighbor boys who took him sledding at the castle moat. Later we moved just down the road from Sutton Hoo. So, I can fully believe a smuggled baby Hydra was snuck in by a lonely Roman soldier. And deer, well one way too early foggy morning we were driving from Framlingham to RAF Bentwaters and on a road outside of a mansion, a deer with a full rack walked calmly into the 1.5 lane road and stood there in my lights. He took his time to evaluate my Mazda and then moved on to the other side of the road. I am not sure my son or I breathed at all while he was there. So magnificent.
So the closest I get to wild life today are the Canadian Geese who take a layovers during migrations. A few were around when it snowed this last Friday.
Could you get a decorative screen, like is used to hide behind to dress, that could be moved as needed and be beautiful as well?
Mary
@memcneil70, your experiences in Suffolk sound fantastic. I've only visited Sutton Hoo the once and I was left truly amazed. Amazed at the wonderous area, unbelievable, complex, beautiful artefacts. Ships that were a marvel of manufacture and a site that was etherial and beautiful.
I was also flabberghasted at the new museum they have at Sutton Hoo. Flabberghasted at how so much money & slick presentation should fail to have any useful or in depth information content at all about 1) the way of life 2) the housing 3) the technology 4) the society 5) any of the artefacts found and 6) just anything else you might want to know if you have an attention span exceeding 10 seconds. The same museum designer has obfuscated Stonehenge too. My youngest daughter has a degree & masters in archaeology and gets incandescent every time that museum designer or his work are mentioned. She attended a lecture he gave and came away so angry she couldn't speak anything other than the word 'IDIOT'. She wants archaeology explained to the world, and the museum designer wants to tell a story. A story that is unrelated to any artefacts, known history or any events known to have happened. His story is unadulterated fantasy, presented in 10 second chunks.
I have read a good deal around Sutton Hoo, and I'm surprised at how little is difinitively known from around the time of the burials. The quality of the artefacts and their technological sophistication is still remarkable, yet it appears there are huge gaps in what people know about the society, people and their whole way of life. The AngloSaxon chronicle doesn't help much as it omits all mention of ordinary people, their occupations and trades. Oh well, maybe some other discoveries will come to light and enable a better picture of how they lived.
As for the decorative screen for my PC. I like the idea. I really like the idea. Not sure I like the idea of buying, but I like the idea. I have tools, I do embroidery, I have some lovely woods.. Yes.
Regards,
Richard
Sounds like that museum designer is into "Idea History", not so much into archeology. ( My great aunt was Sweden's first female professor in archeology and specialised in the iron age or "Vendelstid" as we call it here, which include the age of vikings.
An anecdote about "Idea History": My son is very interested in History, has been since young age, In Highschool, on a history test, they got a question (very Idea history style ) where they were to elaborate on what a farmer in the Inca society would have been thinking about. He shortly wrote "Getting food for his family today", but that wasnt an accepted answer, he should have gone all "AI" and hallucitated about that farmer looking at the stars wonderin what they were, what was on the other side of the sea etc etc.
That is Idea history in a nutshell, you hallucinate answers on impossible questions.
