Two of the Collective houses will have interiors, and the rest are arranged in a block, exterior views only, plus some build it yourself stuff....so we'll be in the same 'hood with our scenes. I think Poserworld has big blue mailboxes for the street corners....where the turkeys can do their "truck-jackings"....haha.

Fuzzy as I could get with a fur shader. Used Ptropes because it had 3 layers, so there's 3 different furs.

Hey, that's better than no fuzz at all :) I thought I remembered seeing fur shaders.

I'm starting to nod a little now, so I'd better get horizontal, before I do a Laverne flip into the floor....haha. Hope you're able to solve the Multi-Man puzzle soon Linda...and hope you'll get some help.

Catch up with you tomorrow....good night :D

Look at all those tribbles! Hahahahaha. That's just like Capt Kirk looked! Good one Stezza!

I just popped over to your thread and saw the great Santa sleigh that you made....I'll see if it converts to .obj so we can use it in Studio....thanks!

Hey Linda....I couldn't figure out how to light the neighborhood scene enough to build it....the iray lights and mats leave it completely black....so I just switched to another house for now, until I can figure out how to light the preview screen.

When I loaded the scene, everything was black. I switched to the Iray preview and then could see. Texture shaded preview only shows black for some reason. I would suggest for setting up a scene, to add some regular distant lights so we can see what we're doing. The houses still show dark but at least they're visible. Or work in the iray view, but I find that a tad annoying because it re-renders everytime you change 1 thing.

Oh, okay....so there are different ways to "view" the scene....like in Poser with wireframe, etc. I'll look. I'd love to solve that mystery since I have several environments that do that, and I really wanted to use them.

Stezza's .obj sleigh landed in Poser while I'm at the breakfast table....works fine :)

See the circle next to 'perspective view' in my screenshot? Click that and it gives you all the options, wireframe, wireframe with texture, texture shaded, iray, etc.

:thankyou2:

Went outside with the dog. It's a mix of sleet and snow...we both went slip sliding away down the sidewalk coming back since the yard slopes.
