sorry I had a typo for "kiwi WHOLE" !

I'm taking a poll to find out how much interest there is in having some Poser FREEBIE produce ... Snowfire Graphics, who sold through my store exclusively, has given me full permission to offer any of the produce as freebies. (sorry we don't do DS, so they MAY work, if DS users know how)

Fun Fact: Snowfire Graphics is now our Flint_Hawk!

Pictured is an example of just some of the produce that seem to make the transition in quality pretty well. (rendered in Poser Pro 2014) Not all the maps are "enhanced" here... I experimented with the orange half and whole, adding some contrast, sharpness to the map. In some cases I plugged into bump. I am also able to use unimesh at 2, which makes the model even nicer looking! :)

Please vote so I can decide... as it will take some work to "enhance" maps, re-save from the original tif to highest quality jpg AND create a proper runtime, plus I need to scale the fruit for Dawn/Dusk/Luna!

Are they actual pp2 files Lyne? If so they would work in DS it's just they would need the materials adjusting.

Cr2's, pp2's, pz3's and pz2's all work in DS they just need materials adjusting most of the time. They tend to come in with the Lighting on Plastic for starters and bump and displacement often need adjustment also.

They would probably work fine in DS also then. I've voted yes...just saw some info on doing grapes in an Iray thread over at DS.

re: grapes... keep in mind there is only ONE map for the entire prop object... I mean one material zone for all... these are OLD models sold waaaay back when my store was on line... back in the days of a CRT monitor, even! (and gosh, poser version FIVE, no less) LOL!

although they will be for Poser 9 and up... (I'll have to remember to save them out of my P9 so they have backward compatibility! I use P2014, but I do NOT want to go back and edit that many files!)

Yes please, Lyne. I love having stuff like this I can use to create a believable living environment...nothing like a bit of 'stuff' to make a render look real.

10 votes, cool!! I had set the poll to run for one week, so if it "closes" (I don't know how that part works) just TELL me in this thread... I appreciate it!

I am kinda warming up to DOING this project, as folks express an interest. :)

Ask Alisa about extending the poll Lyne. I'm sure there's a way to do it, though I haven't had the pleasure yet, so not sure how to do it.

Actually Lyne, I meant for you to PM her and ask, but as you say, she's so busy with everything else, she wouldn't necessarily see that any sooner than she'll see this. :)

Yes, my favorite thing being that it turns URL links into the title of the page. I always like to do something similar manually, so it's nice that the forum does it for you. ;)

lol - Welcome to HiveWire, BEDT.

I don't know beans about the polls either - but when I tried to edit it there was an option for an end date which was blank so we'll have to see if it actually will expire. If so, one of the CVs or I or Lisa should be able to figure out how to extend it, too :)
