Hi i'm new to this software and I have a few questions:

How do I organize things sub-units of my models while in Enliven? It seems if I import a model of several separate meshes as one OBJ file, I cannot separate them....please tell me I dont have to import everything as a single file...

How can I create lens flares?

Where is the downloadable lightmap gallery? I'm looking for highly specular materials like gold, platinum, steel.

Thanks!

Hi !!

Answers to your questions:

How do I organize things sub-units of my models while in Enliven? It seems if I import a model of several separate meshes as one OBJ file, I cannot separate them....please tell me I dont have to import everything as a single file...
The sub-objects like vertices, edges, faces or elements cannot be accessed in Enliven. Howerver you can make seperate objects in a single file and import it in Enliven.

How can I create lens flares?
To create lens flare, you have to use Viewpoint Scene Builder which is available at http://developer.viewpoint.com/dc/tools.jsp?tab=TOOL&sub=TOOL under Rich Media tools. In Scene Builder, go to the Debug Menu to create lens flare.

Where is the downloadable lightmap gallery? I'm looking for highly specular materials like gold, platinum, steel.
Here is the link to download the lightmap library

You can also visit and browse through the Viewpoint Developer Central

Hope this helps.
