i contacted the guy from those cgarchitect links, and apparently instancing in and out of max has been supported for 14 years, if you like as a demo, you send a SKP with alot of components and he sends you back the max file with the converted instances, awesome, the pluggins called Polytrans and it costs $395

Solo; just read thsi in the Vue manual: @unknownuser said: Panoramic View Real panoramic cameras are fixed to a handle that you have to hold when you take the shot. As it takes the shot, the camera rotates around the handle, thus embracing any required angle of view. Panoramic views can yield beautiful results. This option is a numerical equivalent to the real panoramic camera. Here also, the camera is rotated as the render engine makes progress. All-around panoramas can be achieved this way, but beware: if the camera is not perfectly horizontal when you take the shot, the horizon will undulate. This is not a numerical artifact: it happens also in the real world! When you select this option, the panoramic H Angle slider becomes available, letting you decide on the horizontal angle swept by the camera as it rotates. This appear to be what happened to your VUE environments.

Thanks nomer... hopefully some day i'll be able to make your skill renders

Thanks for your help, guys. I've been able to sucesfully load the model into Vue! Your tutorial is great Adam, thanks for it What can I say... THANKS!!!

Nice, you can put it on Clayoquot Sound with this one: [image: freedomcovetofinobc2.jpg] Don't you think she needs a deeper draft?

Well, my last try. I have tried with bump in grass, but hypershot doesn't manage it very well, so i think that's the better i can do: [image: bosqueso5.th.jpg] [image: thpix.gif]

Realy nice renders. I 'm trying to render a sailboat in hypershot at the moment but I do not manage to put the sailboat in the water correctly. Now the boat just flies around in the space. I already tried to work with a plane and assign a water material to that plane. But when I do that I wouden't know how to make this plane fit with the background? I also would like to show the bottem of the boat in my render so the water needs to be a bit transparent. Is this possible and could you please explain me how I could make such a nice render as you did. I would really look good for my final presentation! Thanx a lot

this is really making me want to do a lego render! hmmmm.. i do need a xmas card idea...

What can I say putnik... Many many thanks for such a detailed response. Now thanks to you and everyone that has written in this topic i'm closer to real world . I know that the world of archviz is very hard and i don't want to do that work full time. In the future i want to be an architect, but for now, as i've been offered an small work as illustrator i look for advice in you, and you have been really helpfull. So, thanks again!

Yes, that would be a solution... good idea

You have to put bezier ones into your .../Plugins/BZ_Dir folder, and surface tools ones in .../Plugins/TOS_Dir folder overriding
