an exercise.

technique developed by StephenS) It was just a test for placing objects 
on a mesh but I decided to make it into a scene in its own right.

I may have been the first to post an example in the Bishop3d forum, but it's
your use of min/max_extent that made it useful ;-)

I like that! The scene has that typical icon feeling. Maybe you should try a 
vertical image ratio; and lean Sebastian against the tree perhaps?

What outrageous fortune! I would rather take arms against a sea of 
troubles. ;-)

Thanks, the model was just thrown together in about 20 minutes as a 
target. For once I knew when to stop.

Thanks Thomas,
Your suggestion has merit. I think I got lucky with the pose and stopped 
before it got over complicated. He should, by rights be tied to the 
tree. So there is the usual problem of getting the tree into Poser to 
pose him against. And the halo is a kludge too.

Arrg! I just checked to see if I could import the PovTree inc into Poser 
and noticed that I've deleted all the later versions of St. Seb.
Drat and my back up does not include them. Heigh Ho! I'll have to 
recreate it if I want to make another version.
Drat!

As for the tree (PovTree you say?) that is easy. Export the tree in PovTree 
as a mesh, load into Poseray and export as .obj; then import into Poser. 
Putting ropes around Sebastian is another - interesting - problem... ;-)

Well, that's a pity. How did you do that feat?

Yes, it was easy. But I could not use the technique I had used for the 

torus in this version and a light group to make sure that there is no

Carelessness really.

complete mesh and exports it as SDL, each time it renders a scene. 
Instead of using a UDO and referencing it in the Pov script. So for this 
scene, the Bishop3D file is 12 Megs with a 12 Meg BAK file and a 22 Meg 
Pov file. That is for each version I have saved. It soon adds up. I 
accidently deleted the final version in the clean-up. On the plus side I 
recovered 10 Gigs and it was only a test anyway.
