Thanks Mark! I'll check it out as soon as I can. This is very promising and could be really helpful in many occasions.

Congrats on your perseverance Mark, I never could export the genesis model to "fit" the MMD file... Please explain how you export the model and bring it to EI in details... I'm pulling my hair over this one! Thanks!

Happy birthday Diego! I hope this day is full of surprises and brings you happiness!

Joe, Nice job! Your settings seems OK to me, the 3D depth is correct. One important thing to remember when making a cross-eyes test is to flip the Right and Left images otherwise the 3D effect is inverted. See "Anaglyph_Tutorial" attached. Have you see Barry Berman' 3D tools? http://www.3dtv.at/Index_en.aspx This is a place with interesting info: http://www.3dtv.at/Index_en.aspx Here is Your movie with Right and Left images reversed for Cross-eyed view: flip-R-L_3D.mov

Same System here, no problem. Maybe repair permissions?

We're using a Slow Cooker...:rolleyes: It keeps the juices inside and adds to the taste. There might also be a nice desert... Chill the wine, Tom will tell you when to put on the table!:P

Have you put your MDD file in the EI Socket folder?

Mark, I have no experience with Daz but I would probably use the same settings for Obj export. When converting with Obj2Fact, Ian suggesting this setting:

Cute little fellow! I hope the project gets an approval!

ViaCAD 2D/3D V8 is 70$ instead of 100$ for the weekend. Use coupon code VC6759. http://www.punchcad.com/p-9-viacad-2d3d-v8.aspx

Nice! Love the little guys, do you plan to animate them?

Sorry guys, I looked everywhere for this thread to no avail. It disappeared... I also searched my computer for some residual project or notes. All I remember is that Jens gave me the "trick" so, Jens, if you read this, please enlighten us. Again...

Alberto, Removing the "bend" in the floor will fix the trees reflection but it is not a solution because we still see the tree planes in the sphere... If the floor is not set to "cast no reflection", the render is correct but seeing the floor own reflection isn't a pretty sight... I'm floored...

Alberto, I have this animated woman clip so I tried recreating a similar setup. Whatever I do, the reflection seems always correct. Please check my project. Test_reflection.zip

I forgot EXR2Mesh... Not bad for a closeup of a picture... Would be better without specular... Photo_and_exr2mesh.mov

My pleasure Wilson! :D

It's in the User Library. Do you have Quicktime 7.6.0 or 7.6.6? I have the latest.

I can open .img files in Quicktime 7.6.6 In Snow Loepard.

Wilson, I do own ViaCAD and while, as Frank says, it is a little cumbersome to work with, at 49$, it's a must have tool. The fact that it reads .sat files is the main reason I bought it. You are right about Bonzai3D. I downloaded the demo a couple times now but never bought the thing because of I don't feel comfortable with it and I don't know why. If I had to model a lot like I had to few years ago, I think I'd go with Modo. My partner uses it and it is quite impressive. With FormZ, Silo, ViaCAD and some really fantastics free tool as SweetHome 3D, I'm covered...

Autodessy has been here for, well, forever... Their latest baby: Bonzaï3D http://www.formz.com/products/bonzai3d/bonzai3dFeatures.php Although at 500$ it's no giveway... It exports .fact...

You're nailing it every time! Always a pleasure to see your work! congrats!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question Apu. Do you mean how do I make the instances? I make a row of 10 rocks align in X then duplicate the row 10 times in Z. This gives me 100 rocks that I can duplicate in Y, 100 at a time. I used 800 in the example. Sorry I cannot share the Project, I'm having problems with Rodeo right now.

Athena, I must agree with you that if you find the download page with a web search there is nowhere to see that a Dongle is necessary to activate the application. I'm sure a note describing the purchase process will be added on that page.

Hi Thomo, Depending of the level of "realistic" and how close your closeup will be. We usually don't look at gravel from a few centimeters but usually from a few meters. Here are some examples using a photograph with bump and displacement and one with actual EIAS UberShape Rocks and dispersed with Rodeo. Gravel_Project.zip
