Description
My first submission to this site. Need to take some time and look around a bit. And to clarify, I've been drawing and painting since I was a kid and have been using Poser and Vue for almost four years now. Still a ways to go, but having fun. Much of my work can be seen at Rederosity and Cornucopie3D.Credits: Swidhelm - Skywyrm(dragon). Available at Renderosity. All the rest is Vue 7i.
Thanks for your interest.

Sorry. I goofed up the first reply. I do use Vue7i and PoserPro, but this dragon is by Swidhelm, found at renderosity, and is called The Skywyrm [link] In fact I have all his dragons. Thanks for the watch.

I hear ya. I haven't been able to upgrade yet to Vue 8. There are free trials and for Vue there are versions that are cheaper and allow you to add "modules" as you desire. You can also find older versions of both program, really cheap, especially Poser.

Indeed. I've taken the last 5 years to amass my 3D collection.

lol, indeed!
and one question. when i tried to import a .dae from my set of files into Bryce, the program kept popping up saying "not enough memory"(after it finished import) and wouldn't let me exit. is that the program settings or could it be my computer. i have 3Gigs of memory on my computer and haven't had that problem with other programs

Sorry, not familiar with Bryce. And I don't recognize the .dae suffix. I know with Vue I have a laptop with 4GB of RAM and that could get pretty stretched and crash. My current machine has 9GB and is an Intel i7. I still find ways to crash it.

hmn.. well i can say that .dae is just a lower quality file, but then again i am using crappy GNU programs, so that may be the cause of the crash
lol, 9gigs and it still crashes

Sorry for the delayed response. File sizes vary. I sometimes end up putting many objects into a scene all with high res textures and if you don't do some adjustments the computer overloads. Luckily it rarely happens.

hmnnnn.... okay, so some adjustments to the model should help with that?

To long of an answer to put here and I don't know Bryce, but if it works on the same basic priniples: All objects in a scene are meshes and textures (image files often). The computer has to keep all that stuff in memory and at positions xyz and then account for light and shadow. So, when running out of processing and memory (interelated) you have to find ways of freeing memory. In vue, you can re-material an object imported from Poser with Vue materials, which can help a bit and can look better too. Using the native app tools and materials can help. Texture image files for figures/objects can be reduced in resolution somtimes. Turning a Poser or DAZ Studio figure into a Vue object helps alot. Using rendered figures/objects on alpha planes frees up lots of room. I suggest going to forums and websites dedicated to your software would be the biggest help. For Vue it's Cornucopia3D and I'm sure Bryce has a big site too. Unfortunately, the bottom line is, the better the processor(s) and more memory the better. Good luck.

hmnnnn.... i see
and i am now running 11 gigs of memory via a ready boost flash drive and its still doing the same, but now with mudbox, but it uses alot more memory anyway
lol, and thanks for all the info

Thanks. In the world of digital posing those are "dynamic" wings. They stretch and fold depending on how you pose the "fingers".

I actually rarely like 3D pictures of dragons because they tend to look... well, odd. I think you pulled this one off beautifully.
Welcome to the site! I hope to see some more stuff from you soon.

Thanks. You'll see more for sure. I may even bring out pencil and brush again. I've been so absorbed in the digital scene for the last 3 or 4 years I've almost forgotten my roots.

*GASP* SUCH TALENT!!! Damn, this is your first? I was expecting you to have a gallery full of such amazing works! Please submit more! I like your concept, the dragon is unique. The background is quite lovely, love the lighting and the mountains and clouds . . . love it all!
