Just something you should be aware of: the texture of the arches repeats
itself. You should add a bit of randomness.

I have uploaded in p.t.s-f an updated version of ndi_buildings.inc which
corrects this. In addition, it makes the wall texture consistent over the
whole building. Formerly, the texture was scaled down along with the smaller
arches, which it should not of course.

Hey thanks for doing this ... was on my to do list so this will
certainly be helpful. Perhaps later on this evening I can have something
for everyone to look at ... I'm almost settled on the tree/shrub
placement, and I've got Rob's cloud worked in ... I'll also pick up your
changes/additions.
I think we are getting close but seem to be neglecting the left side of
the scene. I'm wondering if a character close to the camera position
walking towards the courtyard is all it needs to add some balance to
that side of the scene ... Thomas you've done some terrific character
work in the past so what do you think about the idea ... and maybe
making a contribution to the scene?

I've not had much time to POV the last several days but here's an ornate stone
bench I came up with today that can be placed here and there... the seat
ornaments and ornate front bench "legs" are bevelled text objects using the
wingdings2 font.

Very nice Rob ... Right away I see a couple places for it ... I know for
sure some or most detail will be lost pushing it out by the trees in
front of the staircase ... but I also see a place perhaps 90 degrees
from the shrubs inside at each (or some) of the big arch pillars. Yes
indeed ... very nice!
In this go round I was able to get the shrub tree placement done. I also
got Thomas' changes in and found one more place so I added the staircase
to the 1st level and textured it as one unit ... big difference with the
over-all appearance. I did some minor scaling with the flower pot and
under-dish ... and lastly some minor cosmetic changes in the main scene
file and in the buildings file.
I'll post those changes shortly
Jim

I think that a small lizard in the middle foreground would make things
interesting. I shall dig into my animal zoo. Maybe another Poser figure in
the shadows... I shall have a try at this; you will be able to choose

Here's an updated bench - I turned the legs around, fixed a couple of
transformations and made the (useless) merge a union instead.

You might want to increase some parameters of the bevelled_text, as some
bits (at the bottom of V-like parts) are not smooth yet.
(or reduce the angle of bevell)

I was able to get caught up with all the latest additions and thought I
post a look at what I've got so far.
All my changes were in the main and buildings files (updates posted)
here's a summary:
I changed the court yard tile scaling for the tile size (not the area it
covers) and the thickness of the tile a well. I also discovered that one
the tori used to round the arch edges was missing ... LOL that was easy
to fix as I figured Sam wasn't prone to mistakes like that ... I went
right to the problem (something I'd done). I also worked on the camera
pose a bit and have changed it now so that you can rotate through the
scene without fear of a transporter accident (ending up inside an
object) ... there are a /lot/ of views in this scene now, some will show
where the architecture is missing because it just wasn't in the view
...so if anyone comes up with a view the think shows some promise ...
shout! The current camera setting shows the shot I'm favoring at the
moment. I think with the addition of objects has changed the radiosity
tuning. If someone wants to have a go at firming that up that would be
great ... I'm anxious to see what character additions that you guys will
come up with, but I think we're getting close!

Yeah, right... :D
It's looking great, Jim! The light_source might need some brightening. I usually
like to have a full range of values in a scene, from near black to almost pure
white, if possible.
I'm curious, whatever happened to the POV-Ray text?

Very good!
I like the lizard at the edge of the scene. What about a couple of pigeons
(one landing) in the court yard? I can provide that.
I think maybe one human figure is needed, but in the distance, imo in the
first arch of the second tier...

Thanks Robert. No subsurface here. I believe lizard skin does not really
need it. It is not transparent like human skin.

I think that, that position it would be hardly noticeable. Too small and
too dark. I was having trouble putting this model in the shade due to
using radiosity and no ambient. But then maybe subtlety is the way to go.

the radiosity is doing a fairly decent job pulling in the darker areas,
so I'm thinking one light source may be enough ... wonder if Trevor has
been following this thread. He's tops in lighting so maybe he can offer
an opinion about what our next lighting move might be.

I was thinking one or two figures walking in the area just behind the
upper staircase landing (+zdir wall with figures going in <- xdir ->)...
and maybe someone on the stairs

Not too bad there Stephen ... fairly close to what I'd imagined. I
thought the figure fairly close to the camera (as if the view was that
of the character) ... arms out either holding an orb of sorts (logo
encased in the orb) or reaching towards the courtyard with the
appearance of holding or reaching for the logo/sculpture that Rob is
working on.

It is only a first pass to get an idea.

The problem with that is that the camera is in the shadow and little
radiosity light gets to the model. So this image has 3 fill lights
(including a back light to show the translucence of the dress, which
doesn't work). You can see the the shadows are too deep and mesh
artefacts show up. I can subdivide the dress but, later.

I would need the rough dimensions of the orb to get the hands right and
the apparent weight to gauge how far back she was leaning to balance it.
Collaborations are not easy.
When I can get all the image files together I'll post the include file
for you and others to play with.

I wasn't suggesting more light_sources, just increasing the intensity of the
sunlight a bit. But with that new female character holding the povlogo, the
light level will look alright :)

Awesome mate! I can't wait to fit this into the scene. I've made some
strides with the lighting and radiosity ... LOL I just /might/ be able
to dial that in myself ;-) ... I just finished what looks like the last
of the positional fine tuning, but I looks like I'm in for some long
render times from now, so hang tough and I'll do my best.

It seems that soon will be required the presence of the Divine checkered plane.
No seriously, how about an ivy on the back wall? Thomas Luft developed a
wonderful tool for this task at his site:

Yes, I think you are right. The scale of the architecture fools my eyes...
Your model is going to be alright in this scene!~

If you like it, it might be better if I gave you the OBJ file so that
you could subdivide the dress if needed. Also I think that I overdid the
wind (she looks as if she is wearing a bustle) so I will redo it.
Do you want any particular facial expression?
When you have decided on the position of the model in the scene I could
make her look at a POI. (?)

I found out that you can't use a default texture with an ambient of 1 in
the scene. It took me ages to find out what was wrong with it.

As long as it's done before the release. ;-)

I think Stephen has not had enough time yet to work on the figure *out of
the box*. Wait and see :-)

As you know it can be time consuming. So until I get the "go ahead" and
some more requirements, I'll not go overboard with it.

It is often a surprise when you realise that your "minds eye" does not
reflect reality.

We will see. Are you going to make a human figure?

They only thing that stuck out to me was the size of the orb/sphere ...
as long as I'd be able to find/play with that mesh by itself
(scale/finish/transform) I'll leave the fine details up to you ... maybe
the obj file might be better format

I'd already downloaded 1st version ... let give that a test drive and
I'll give you any feedback that I have (if any) that way I'm not having
to ask for changes later ;-)

Hmmm .. looks like I got a different version that what's in this image,
but no matter as long as the model is left a <0,0,0> I can position. I
might be able to overcome the need for more subdivision with a
light_group on the model ... I like the idea of an orb rather than the
logo object. I might leave the orb a simple reflective sphere, but maybe
that's to cliché (lol as is the checkered plane idea mentioned) ...
generally speaking I'm happy with what you've got so far ... maybe tad
smaller with the orb, but that can be easily tweaked on my end ... and
on 2nd thought maybe the obj->poseray->povray version would be better
for me ... I'd like to leave the artist aspects up to you

So you want the other model. (The first one is Vicki 4, that the mesh I
posted. the second one, with the globe, is Jessi.) The clothes are
different and are designed for each individual model. If it is Jessi
that you want I'll upload the PoseRay generated Mesh and material files
with image maps. I'll upload the clothes meshes separately so that they
can be changed. Do you want the clothes to be affected by a wind/her
walking and is so from what direction. Give me the story in your minds eye.

Percentage of current Orb and how heavy? The body pose will change with
the weight she is carrying and the hand pose with the size of the globe.
This realy needs to be done in Poser.

That is the way Thomas does it. I import it into Bishop3D which uses its
own version of the Mesh and Materials. I suspect that it is not as
optimised as FlyerX's version.

There are always lots of questions. Is she walking or still, In awe of
the orb, looking at the camera etc.
You would think that it would be easy to say "use your own judgement"
but it's not. I might have her smoking a holy pipe or scratching her
nose before she walks out into the square. OK I would not do that but
the amount of translucency of her dress is open to question. I see her
being dressed in pure white. (I'll need to change some image maps for that.
