Poser has smoothing inside of it. Though I'm not sure how it works as when I leave it on it blows up when MissB tests it.

I used Smooth Shading in Blender. Now I have to UV it.

That only happens when you have it set for BOTH the character/object parameters, AND the render settings. I prefer to have it set to the render settings, but you can always change the render engine settings to not have done when rendering, so it's not the Smooth Shading that's a problem in Poser. It's only if you use both options at the same time.

I wondered why that was happening. Thank you!

You had to go and mention Ice Cream??? :D

Anyway, in my Renderosity newsletter yesterday, was a link to a product by 2d_World, of his Mini Market, though the promos say Maxi Market, so not sure if the product was named wrongly.

Anyway, the main promo is large and shows how he has the products on the shelves stacked so they aren't all the same size, which looks less "boring", if you know what I mean. I just thought this would give you some ideas as you create more products. Also take notice of the hand held basket the girl in the foreground is holding. I use something like that when I don't need to use a shopping cart, because I'm only buying a few things.

Well, now I'm wondering if I should continue.

Of course you should!! No two supermarkets look the same!!

I just thought some of the stacking/spacing of the products on the shelves in his promo would give you ideas. I didn't mean you should make your store look exactly like his.

Oh do finish it Earl! Your's is more of a bigger grocery store and that it more of a corner bodega. I looked it and wonder how many polygons. At least a million I bet.

Eggs again. :) No, there won't actually be any in the carton. Although, the hinge is attached on the carton. If I can get it to work properly, I may include the eggs. And I think at least one or two will be single eggs. Who kows, I may even go so far as to include a cracked egg shell for anyone who wants a pic of Dawn breaking an egg.:D

I may have to have this set in pieces. The full set would probably give Poser a heartattack. But at least if I do that, I can include full props in the sets.:D
