The "roughwall" jpg texture is from the Renderosity freestuff "dirty brick wall 1" texture set by Rodluc (www.rodluc.com).

Thank you for your support and your interest in my work! 

=======================================================================

You can unzip the ZIP-file to any convenient location on your PC. The file contains four folders: 

--> The text folder contains this readme and the licence information.

--> The obj_files folder contains the following Wavefront object files:
arch.mtl
arch.obj
brokencolumn.mtl
brokencolumn.obj
brokencolumn2.mtl
brokencolumn2.obj
decorative_arch.mtl
decorative_arch.obj
gothicruin.mtl
gothicruin.obj
wallsegment.mtl
wallsegment.obj
wallsegment2.mtl
wallsegment2.obj

NOte: Make sure the .mtl files remain in the same folder as the .obj files, otherwise your target application will not be able to assign materials correctly.

--> The vob_files folder contains the following Vue objects:
Brokencolumn2_vob.vob
Brokencolumn_vob.vob
Decorative_arch_vob.vob
Gothicruin_vob.vob
Wallsegment2_vob.vob
Wallsegment_vob.vob
arch_vob.vob

--> The textures folder contains the following jpeg texture files and materials in Vue Mat-format:
columns_mat.mat
ground_mat.mat
roughwall_jpg.jpg
roughwall_mat.mat
smoothwall_jpg.jpg
smoothwall_mat.mat
windowlarge_mat.mat

====================================================================

The obj-files can be imported into any 3d modeling/rendering application that supports this file format (e.g. Cinema 4D, Maya, Lightwave, 3ds Max, etc.). 
The vob_files will work only in e-on Software`s Vue, version 4 or higher. If you want to use the .mat files to texture the object in Vue 5, you may need to change the mapping settings, as .mats were made in Vue 4 (in particular, you may need to change the image size). The Vue objects however will load in both Vue 4 and Vue 5 with all textures correctly mapped.


====================================================================

To attain the intended look, a maximum smoothing angle of 20° should be applied.

====================================================================

After import, the obj-model contains 5 solid colour materials, the names of which are self-explanaining. Also, the materials 'default' and 'facefrontcolor' may be listed, but these do not appear visibly in the model.

If you are prompted for a texturemap file, you can locate it in the textures folder. When applying these jpgs to the obj-model, you will need to set up the correct mapping using your application's texture editor.
