Beautiful tropical backgrounds and matching ground props combined with 12 unusual light sets, lawn chairs, cushon's and a tropical coconut drink set the scene for your renders. Required Products: none Your files will be found in Props\ETDA Almost Paradise This set includes: 4 ground props with 2 moveable terrain props each 9 backdrops 6 Lounge Chair props 9 Lounge Chair Cushon Props 2 Coconut Drink Props Special Notes: Ground Props - there are 4 ground props to match the backdrops. Each ground prop is named to tell you which backdrop it matches. It is important for a seamless match of the backdrop and ground to use the appropriate ground prop. !Ground 1-2-4-5-8-9 goes with Backdrop 1, Backdrop 2, Backdrop 4, Backdrop 5, Backdrop 8, and Backdrop 9. !Ground 3 goes with Backdrop 3. !Ground 6 goes with Backdrop 6. !Ground 7 goes with Backdrop 7. ***P4 users pay special attention to ground props made for P4.*** !GrndP4 1-2-4-5-8-9 goes with Backdrop 1, Backdrop 2, Backdrop 4, Backdrop 5, Backdrop 8, and Backdrop 9. !GrndP4 3 goes with Backdrop 3. !GrndP4 6 goes with Backdrop 6. !GrndP4 7 goes with Backdrop 7. Lounge Chairs and Cushons: These props are set to load at the front center of the scene. The cushon is parented to the chair. It is suggested when using these props that you load the chair, then your choice of cushon if desired which will parent and move with the chair. If you want to pose a figure in the chair, they easiest way to do this is without moving the chair, add your figure to the scene, add clothing, hair and anything else to your figure and then pose the figure to sit in the chair. Position the figure in the chair and when you have it looking as you want, set the figure parent for your figure as the Lounge Chair. You can now choose the Lounge Chair from the props list, and move and rotate the chair anywhere in the scene and the figure and cushon will move with the chair. Coconut Drinks: There are 2 drink props. One is set to go to the zero position with no parent so you can easily position it wherever you like. The second is set to parent to the left arm of the lounge chair as if it is sitting on the arm of the chair. ***P4 users pay special attention to drink props made for P4.*** They will be listed under the default coconut props. ***P4 users again, there are NO specific props for P4 users for the backdrops, loungechairs or cushons. I hope you enjoy this prop set for Poser. Gail ______________________________________________________________________ Instalation Instructions: To install these files to the proper directory, unzip into your Poser directory or unzip to your default unzip directory and select the Runtime folder and choose cut, then locate your Poser folder and highlight the folder and choose paste. When a message pops up asking if you want to replace any folders choose yes or yes to all. ______________________________________________________________________ P4 users: Bump Maps: The texture files included with this package are also used as bump maps. Poser 4 users without the Pro-Pack have to convert the jpg-files into the bum-file. The easiest way to do this is to load the bumpMap textures BEFORE adding the prop. The following is a list of the textures you will need to load for each prop. _____________________________________________________________________ P5 users: P5 Users - Due to the nature of P5 and the material settings you may need to manually disconnect the reflection/bump nodes if changing from a MAT pose that uses reflections/bumps and one that does not. Important note when using the firefly renderer... Due to the nature of the firefly render some of the texture maps in this package may not render properly. This is easily fixed by setting the displacement to 0.01 in Poser 5 for the object and attaching to the displacement node for the texture, transparency map and/or the bumpmap. Some props may also show streaks whe rendering with firefly that use transmaps. The above solution will also fix this problem. Poser 4 users and Poser 5 users rendering with the Poser 4 renderer will not need any adjustments. You may also need to uncheck the 'Smooth Polygons' box in the properties to stop the common P5 ballooning: _______________________________________________________________________________ Feel free to IM or site mail me or drop me an e-mail.
