Yes, isn't that amazing?

Don't forget to look at the awesome promo videos BnB have done, which are on the product pages.

I know, I grabbed the Sarra when I saw that render of them "talking". I got such a kick out that, I couldn't resist. :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Sarra and Cephy I tried to have the rigging to be compatible with Daz Studio,however,they would not be able to talk as Daz Studio uses Mimic and Daz does not support
Macintosh at this time. The new Venus Fly Trap has two Characters, one is a single trap that you can make your own group with, the second is a group of 6 traps that are parented
to one of the traps. Daz does not read it properly. So this means you could only use the single trap and would have to make your own group in Daz. It would be nice to have
all my plants to be compatible with Daz. So I would like to have a Daz expert that could help with this, so please let me know if any of you could help.
Thanks again
Brett

Why are these plants marked 'Poser only' ?

Does it mean 'use on your own risk' or is there a specific reason making them unusable in DS?

Hi isymc, I have copies of some of these plants and the ones I have load okay in DS. The problem tends to be with the material settings needing adjustment. Unless there are DS specific materials it can't say that it works with DS but like many things it's often possible to use them with minor adjustments. Render in DS with default lighting...

The Cobra Lily works okay if you convert it to weightmapping triax. Morphs work better if you do this. Mats seem to work also to apply textures but settings will need some adjustment. In particular the opacity....but these are loaded and rendered as in Iray and it's doing something to the transparency.

One last one in Iray no trans to show the morphs work once it's converted to weightmapping (triax)
