 A lady is driven in her carriage along Chestnut Avenue, a slightly curving street of elegant terraced houses with chestnut trees edging the road. In the autumn, the children from these houses will have great fun collecting the chestnuts to play 'conkers'. Vue 8 Studio image. The houses, carriage, horse and people are Poser models imported as objects. The trees are Vue plants by Martin Frost, which I bought from Cornucopia 3d. I am grateful to Martin, because Cornucopia had them classified as needing a higher version of Vue than Studio, so I could not buy them. I contacted Martin who got them re-classfied for Studio versions too. I didn't manage to get the flowers on the white flowered trees as prolific as the red ones. It is quite a tricky balancing operation to get the number of flowers and their size right, so I need some more practice. With all these Poser models around, I was also pushing the memory limits on my laptop. I shall have to upgrade the memory one of these days.

An extremely well put together image Carol, it reminds me of an avenue in Bath.. Looking at the amount of models/objects you have in there I can appreciate your need for more memory.. Love the cobblestones and particularly the exquisite touch of the pillar box....

once again, this shows that you really know your way around Vue. :-) Its a great scene and I echo all the above posters on it....I also like the way you made the horse look very dynamic and it really does add movement to the picture. Great work Carol.

Unfortunately Halifax in Nova Scotia doesn't. Not that I'm aware of anyway. It's year since I've been downtown though!

I adore this Carol. Love the way you pay close attention to detail. You amaze me all the time. Can you increase your memory even when it is at the computers required memory? I'm at 2gb.

I only have 1GB, Nat, and I can go to 2GB. You can't increase above the limit stated in the puter's handbook - your system won't be compatible with higher value memory modules. I'm not at all sure if I am right about this next bit, but I think I read somewhere that even if your puter can have, say 4GB or 8GB RAM, if you are using Win XP in the 32 bit version, it can only read 2GB, so there is no point in increasing RAM above 2GB unless you have a 64 bit OS. But, as I say, I can't verify this - I may have got the wrong end of the stick - and even if it is right, I don't know if it is true of Vista and later. Someone may know more about it than I do.

I think your right on memory..I have 3gb here but was looking at one that had 4gb but he told me anything over 3 to use it you have to run the 64bit system which I didn't want to. I am running vista.

Hi Carol...Just thought I would clear this up for you. I went and read up on this and found that...In a nut shell your right...but (theres always a but with Windows!) you can access a bit more. XP (32bit) can use a max of 3gig but to do that right you have to set up something called the PAE (Physical Address Extension), however DONT bother. At the end of the day, get a 64bit OS and you wont have a problem. Oh, and as a side note, I found out when looking this lot up that believe it or not Windows 2003 and 2008 can already address more than 4 GB of memory! LOL... Trust good old Microsoft to force us all to "upgrade" to get more. :-) Double Oh.... You could always use Vue and split the render between 2 computers if you have them. Bryce does that too and I found that by linking my lappy to the desktop it really speeds up the render time. I think Vue can do that also but you may have to read the handbook to find out. good luck.

Thanks for the info, Iceman. I really must get 2GB memory, but I don't want to change my OS. I use quite a lot of ancient programs which run happily under XP 32 bit. I am not sure they would be compatible with 64 bit, and I don't want to risk it. I know that some folk have even had trouble with some versions of PSP with Vista. Vue can render over two PCs, but I only have one. I work off an overbed table, which is why I use a laptop. Things like external drives are kept on the floor, and my printer has to live on top of a low cupboard. I can't accommodate a desktop, or even 2 laptops, so I have to be patient when things run slowly.
