****************************************************************************** Thank you for purchasing Plumes of Peacock. Copyright 2003 Christopher Chan (Firebirdz) If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear them. Feel free to contact me at: firebird@firebirdz.com ****************************************************************************** INTRODUCTION: The Peacock, known for his poise, presence, pride and plumage has always been regarded as a bird of beauty. Now you can bring that beauty to your renders with this set of Hi-Res Feathers! Great for adornments, headdresses, fans, assessories and close up renders. You can mix and match colours to create interesting effects.You can lower the resolution using any graphics software like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro if necessary. Each texture map is between 0.5 - 1.3MB in size. WHAT YOU GET: 3 obj files 7 cr2 files: 3 long plumes (using 2 base figures) 3 short plumes (using 2 base figures) 1 Long Plume Group that you can use with your favourite vase 1 Large Fan 1 Small Fan NB: The base figures for the Individual plumes, Long Plume Group & Fans all load with the "Enhanced" texture option. To chance to other colours, apply the MAT Colour Poses in the Pose Library to individual plumes. 5 colour options for individual plumes (only to be used with Base Figures, Long Plume Group and Fans) 30 MATs for each of the 6 plumes: Original, Enhanced, Purple Phoenix, Forest Fae & Opaline NB: for the Fans and Long Plume Group, the Colour MATs ned to applied on individual plumes one at a time. 30 Hi-Res Textures 6 Detailed Transparency Maps 1 Trans Off MAT (only to be used with the plumes in the Figure library) 1 Trans On MAT (only to be used with the plumes in the Figure library) 1 light preset that will bring out the brilliance of the feather colours. You can shift the lights around depending on the position of the Plumes. 5 Smart-propped short plumes (in the Props Library) that are parented to the left side of Victoria 3's Head. These can be shifted around for other Figures. NB: The MAT Poses will NOT work for these props. That is why each colour is supplied as a prop. Also note that the Trans On and Off MATs will NOT work for these props. If you do not want the Transparency on, just change the material settings. Also note that as the props load as if applied to the side of Victoria 3's head, to view them, you have to shift your camera so as to view the side of the head. This is because the Plumes are flat models. All files come with Pngs and Rsrs. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON POSING & CHANGING COLOURS: THE LONG PLUME GROUP The Long Plume Group is a Figure Group. To position individual plumes, just select the Rib you wish to move. To move the group as a whole, select the Body of the Main Plume and then use the parameter dials in Poser to shift it along the x, y or z trans. The entire group will move together. To change the colours of the group, you have to change the colours of the individual plumes separately. Just select the rib of the plume you wish to change and click any of the long Plume Mats. For optimum results, as the plumes vary slightly in width, use this reference as a guide: Main Plume - use Mats for Plumes A or B Plume A B 1 - use Mats for Plumes A or B Plume C - use Mats for Plume C You can use the Trans Off and On MATS for better posing! Insert the longplumegroup into your favourite vase. Or even group several long plume groups together to achieve a fuller effect! THE FANS The Fans are Figure Groups and come in Large and Small sizes. You can scale the entire size of the group by selecting the Body of the Main Rib and then scale. All the Ribs will be scaled at the same time. The Small Fan is scaled to a size that is appropriate for Poser Figures to hold. To position individual plumes, just select the Rib you wish to move. To move the group as a whole, select the Body of the Main Rib and then use the parameter dials in Poser to shift it along the x, y or z trans. The entire fan will move together. To change the colours of the fan, you have to change the colours of the individual plumes separately. Just select the rib of the plume you wish to change and click any of the short Plume Mats. You can use any of the Mat poses - for Plumes D, E & F for any of the individual plumes. However, some of the Plumes are scaled a bit wider. A great result can be achieved using the following combination: Main Rib - use Mats for Plumes E Fan Rib two - use Mats for Plumes E Fan Rib three - use Mats for Plumes D Fan Rib four - use Mats for Plumes F Fan Rib five - use Mats for Plumes D Fan Rib six - use Mats for Plumes D Fan Rib seven - use Mats for Plumes E Fan Rib eigth - use Mats for Plumes D The fans are not smart-propped as they are figures. You can increase the versatility of the fans by positioning them and then parenting them to any part of another figure to use as a headdress, a fan or even on the rear like a Peacock! You can use the Trans Off and On MATS for better posing! THE HEADDRESS The headdress is a prop (different from the Plume bases!) in the prop folder that is smartpropped to the left side of Victoria 3's head. You can adjust it to fit other characters. NB: The MAT Poses will NOT work for these props. That is why each colour is supplied as a prop. Also note that the Trans On and Off MATs will NOT work for these props. If you do not want the Transparency on, just change the material settings. Also note that as the props load as if applied to the side of Victoria 3's head, to view them, you have to shift your camera so as to view the side of the head. This is because the Plumes are flat models. Experiment with varying combinations of plume lengths, number of plumes and colours to create your Peacock assessories. ****************************************************************************** This package has not been tested on a Mac.
