Hi Sonic'son

Taking a look at your .blend file shows that you are using Blender's own procedural texture shaders in order to texture your tree. Unfortunately, these are not supported for conversion and output by the PyPRP plugin and therefore not visible/usable in Plasma (URU). So, yes... you will ...

Thanks Aloys for spending some time trying this too... it is frustrating isn't it
You can get so close, but just not get the vibracy of the colouration found in Noloben - still, as you say, a future release might add the correct blending mode.

Nadnerb - you are totally correct, the 'Add' and 'Mix ...

Ehren, don't worry... don't feel you have to be a 3D modeller, or be skilled in any discipline to be involved in Age writing. We all have different strengths and abilities and Age writing is as much about ideas and concepts as it is about physically producing something. There are plenty of folks ...

But instead it seems that the people talking about it have just lost interest, don't have the time, or have run off from this forum.

And who exactly might those people be? Or do you just enjoy posting purposefully inflammatory comments?

D'lanor, I suggest you re-read it.

*producer does not include screen shots or teaser trailers ... it means someone with the balls to actually release their work to the community

Then I will post no more updates, either on Eh'ko or any other Age content I write. I have put long, painstaking and often tiring hours into Eh'ko so far ...

Well, I could send you a PM later with what I thought of when I saw Eh'ko.
I do agree, it must be a calming Age, but there are subtle ways to do it. Some of which I'm thinking of taking from Riven

Feel free to PM, I'm always happy to hear ideas and suggestions. And really, I'm not dead set on it ...

Please have a go Aloys... I tried like a zillion combinations and got close, but not quite there. It sounds like Andy did too. So if you find you're getting somewhere near, it might be good if we can work together to see if we can crack it with the plugin as it stands. I don't think it's possible ...

how big do you INTEND Eh'ko to be? Right now, it's about the size of a crater or depression, but will it have a network of tunnels or something leading out later, maybe?
That's a very good question actually. My original intention was to write a small personal Age - somewhere I could go for peace ...

Sadly, the sky effects in Noloben just won't be possible just yet with the PyPRP plugin as it stands. The animation is fine, but the way the layers blend together requires a colour blending mode that Blender (and probably the plugin) don't provide - akin to 'Hard Light' in Photoshop. Also, regarding ...
