\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you wanted to make a rock-pool (aka tide-pool) in Vue (or Poser-for-Vue), and you don’t especially want to get into a “model it all yourself” situation, what store content might be useful?<\/p>\n

\n

Base:<\/strong><\/p>\n

DragonsNest DragonsKeep<\/a> might give you a quick-start on a terrain mesh, if you were just doing a top-down still-life view into a circular tide-pool. Drop a sand-textured bowl to cover over the volcanic cracks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

500 years of rolling around in the ocean? That’s going to make a rock rather mellow and smooth. Photo Props: Sea Washed Beach Rocks<\/a> are modern high-res 4k-texture props for Poser by ShaaraMuse3D.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are also Photo Props: Weathered Rocks<\/a> from the same content maker, again with 4k textures. These could be suitable for making the rock-pool edges, especially if your pool is prehistoric.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a big 60-prop Oceanic Submersion<\/a> set.<\/p>\n

Also needed would be whole lot of fine half-buried grit and small shell-flakes, bits of tiny organic debris, but that’s possibly best layered in afterwards with Photoshop or done as a 2D texture.<\/p>\n

\n

Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the Cornucopia store there’s a nice tiny seaweeds pack<\/a> for the temperate zone, at an even nicer low price. They are also ecosystems for Vue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s also a free starfish there, but it’s a bit simple and naff. There’s a more impressive paid-for one Starfish by Barry Marshall<\/a> plus a very lovely small Sea\u00a0Crab<\/a> of exactly the sort you’d see in a temperate rock-pool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you wanted to do a prehistoric rock-pool, Cornucopia has a number of authentic small prehistoric sea creatures that are not 400-foot dino-monsters.<\/p>\n

Sadly the best crab-meat type of crab, Noggin’s Poser Crab<\/a> is no longer sold. But Terrors of the Deep: Jellyfish<\/a> is, and might make for a more a interesting picture element, draped over some rocks, and would add colour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sea-shells are fairly easily had. But perhaps add a few pieces of Pirate Treasure<\/a>, peeking out from the sand?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Backdrop:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photo Props: Austrian Cliffs<\/a> might also be used as a backdrop. Secluded Shoreline<\/a> could also be useful for the backdrop. It’s not designed for close-ups of small bits of the scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fast3D has some free Beach Creatures<\/a> for Poser which are low poly, but could be used as very small ‘micro’ elements in the scene. There’s also a teeny-weeny barnacle you could probably mix into a Vue ecosystem used at very small size. Perhaps it could be added to the Seaweeds ecosystem (see above) at low frequency, to add variety.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Water and sand:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’ll be needing some suitable water and sand, of course, but that shouldn’t to difficult in Vue. Big 8k sand textures should also be fairly easy to find or make.<\/p>\n

That’s it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
