No Mac support is provided. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Extract the zip-archive with your zip program: - there are now several commercial and free archive/extraction programs on the market, so please refer to that application's user manual in case of trouble. - Open WinZip and press the button "Extract". - DAZ Users: In the window folders/drives, select the folder that contains your Runtime folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\DAZ\Studio\content\", "C:\Users\\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio 3\content\", any other 'base' Studio installation, or wherever you may keep your content.) - The check box "Use Folder names" must be checked to ensure all files will be placed in the correct path. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: Usage Instructions: 1) Double click on the "!! Load Reflection Surface" icon. The Reflection object will appear in the scene as a cubed bounded box. You will not be able to see the reflection as it is until you render the image. 2) Parent the Reflection Surface to the object that you want to have a reflection (VERY IMPORTANT!!--DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP) 3) In the Scene Tab, select the Reflection object. Use the Reflection object's transforms in the Parameters Tab to size and move the Reflection object. You may need to move and/or rotate the Reflection object so it lines up properly with the object you want to have a reflection on. Ideally the object in need of a reflection should be approximately center to the bounding box of the Reflection object (but feel free to experiment with different translations and angles for varying results). 4) With the Reflection object selected in the Scene Tab, click on one of the four included reflection type materials to get the exact look you want. The default material is "Reflection 01." Helpful Hint: When setting up and experimenting with the Reflection Surface to either set your main Viewport or Aux Viewport to display in Nvidia Iray so you can preview what you are doing until you get the hang of it.
