I downloaded 3D Tree Maker back when it was a free plugin. I opened it recently and when I redraw a tree, I get a message that says I have a free license which means each tree "redraw" only happens after a 15 second delay. It says I can buy a full version but 3DArcStudio doesn't seem to be in business any more. Any chance anyone out there has a license I can buy so I can eliminate that 15 second delay? Thanks.

Hi Anton, thanks so much for your quick replies to my questions! Looking forward to seeing what else you can do! Dave Harned

Hi Anton, Dave Harned here, friend of Pete Stoppel. Congratulations on Clothworks; phenomenal piece of work!

I have two quick questions:

• I can't seem to figure out how to drape a cloth so that it tucks into crevices fully, like a slip cover falling down "into" a sofa. I suspect the solution is to form a basic slip cover as opposed to draping a flat cloth, but wanted to ask.
• Kind of related to that ... could you envision a way to use Clothworks to make ocean waves? I would kill for the ability to create realistic waves hitting a beach, but so far I can't seem to manage it in SU. I tried draping cloth over "humps" that I've "Skattered" over a surface, but I haven't quite been able to achieve what I'm trying to.

Happy for any feedback. Thank you again for creating Clothworks for our community! Dave

I use Windows Speech Recognition when I use SU. I saves me boatloads of time selecting tools using the keypad shortcut letters. But sometimes when I hit a keyboard key or tap my touchpad, my microphone hears the word "cut" and deletes whatever part of the model I have highlighted. I've already gone into Windows Speech Recognition to eliminate the word "cut" from its dictionary, and although it now won't let me dictate the WORD cut into a Word document, for example, it hasn't eliminated the cut FUNCTION. Was wondering if anyone knows of another way to disable the cut function in SU. Thanks!

Really appreciate replies so far. Sorry should have clarified I need a true 3D dog.

Looking for some sleeping dog models (need true 3D models that can be placed into a scene w proper shadows, etc.), the higher the poly the better, but even some low poly ones might help for now. Golden lab, black lab, other popular breeds. Anything? Happy for any advice/direction. Thank you!!

Hey Pete,

LOVE IT! Talk soon.

P.S. I noticed that some members have standard tag lines at the end of their signatures ... many of them prophetic and thought provoking (seriously). So I thought I'd try one out for size:
