Thank you for the kind offer!
I will have to sort out some recent trouble with my e-mail account first. I will let you know when I'm in "receive-mode" again.

Hello gentlemen,

Am totally new to this and not sure if wanna start. Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to include a complex 3d object, for eg. a helicopter as a static object in a scenery?

Hi RaWe,

I answered the question that you posted in the General Discussion folder before I saw this one. I guess you have read what Treehugger and I were discussing above. We still have not tied any programming limits down to finite numbers, but what we discussed should give you an appreciation of what you can get away with.

Treehugger has made some really stunning photorealistic scenes. They are really worth checking out.

I have played with photographic panoramas, but have had my best results using edited pictures gleaned from the internet. I have made several very natural looking flying sites from bits and pieces. For example, I made a very realistic cabin using the wood from a picture of a barn. the only limit to what you can do is your imagination.

Let us know if you run into problems or need advice.

Thanks for the reply.

My 3D graphics skills are OK but I don't have a progamming mind....
...if only there's an easier way for me to understand how to insert a static model aircraft into an existing scenery..

Hi RaWe

If you would like to learn how to add 3D objects to a .scn, I am willing to coach you. It would probably be easier if we communicate using e-mail then we can easily exchange graphic files and examples.

I will send you a private message containing my e-mail address.
