I am not aware of any unit selection involving acres. Probably some script could be written. Maybe check TIG's arsenal of scripts. Or see in Smustard, or Ruby Library Depot.

Using Layout is another alternative when trying to control the aspect ratio. Its also great if you have many scenes to export. With Layout you have to setup the page the first time, but on subsequent prints, it just a single click. If you are careful with your scene naming you can use old Layout files already setup, and swap out the source model.

ok, possible solution.......seems to be working so far...... IE8>tools>pop-up blocker> add google & maps.google Glenn

I love the Video at the bottom, it fooled me too. I LOVE IT! [flash=400,225:3eufspgb]http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9679622&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1[/flash:3eufspgb]

That last sentence should have read "for the stand-in MODEL that's in the LayOut template." Let me know if that's not clear. b

I have recently bought it in a bundle but haven't played with it yet however as far as I know, it will only export the camera viewports. But now as I am thinking about it - in LayOut (as you are planning to use it maybe), you can adjust your viewport to any size and when you export the image with transparent background, it's already a piece of cake to select the transparent channel, invert selection and crop to selected area. OR you can install CubicPanoOut (see in the ruby library depot) and it will adjust your viewport width or height to any set size so you can export easily. (Or render with Kerkythea or Twilight - I know both can export batch render at given exact size and also a clipmask render to apply in post pro - maybe other renderers can also do it easily.)

Ruby in layout has been suggested, but so far no one has really given any good ideas of what ruby should be able to accomplish. I think this is a great example of something ruby would be useful for in LO. Chris

Thank you, That did the trick…..hadn’t even crossed my mind. I figured it was something painfully obvious that I was missing. Thanks again, Glenn

Glenn, I think the only time limit would be if you wait until Version 8 comes out. then it'll probably be too late to upgrade to 7.1.

@honoluludesktop said: I have notice that the warehouse is beginning to accumulate a lot of very good stuff. I have noticed this also. It is certainly improving with time and has a lot of excellent models on offer.

Thanks for the reply’s. The price is pretty similar at this point, since the card is so old. Glenn

Think it'll get an Energy Star rating?

Sorry to rain on the parade, but Rebus has been around for ages, they don't support any SU render plugins and besides, their initial file setup costs are too high to be useful for anything other than rendering commercial animations. Full list of software they support: **Autodesk 3ds Max Vray - Mental Ray - finalRender - Maxwell Render - Vue xStream - Brazil r/s - scanline - Maxon Cinema 4D Vray - Advanced Render - finalRender - Maxwell Render - Vue xStream - Standard Render - Autodesk Maya Mental Ray - finalRender - Maxwell Render - Vue xStream - Software Render - Softimage XSI Mental Ray - Vue xStream - Maxwell Render - Luxology modo Standard Render - Newtek Lightwave 3D Maxwell Render - Vue xStream - Standard Render - Blender 3D Standard Render - YafRay - Standalone Software Mental Ray - Maxwell Render - Vue Infinite -**
