CartesiusCreations 'Bookrow Varied' © Anders Kjellberg October 2005 All of this product's content was created by Cartesius (Anders Kjellberg). --------------------- Thanks for purchasing Cartesius' 'Bookrow Varied'! 'Bookrow Varied' is a low-poly model meant to act as 'scene filler' and will give you books of varied height. The model is very basic but when added to a scene it will still give the impression of a row of old books. The model will not stand up for close renders, and is designed to fit in the background. --------------------- Installation: Run the zip extractor into your Poser directory (DO NOT unzip the archive to the Poser Runtime directory, or the files will not show up in Poser's library palettes). 'Bookrow Varied' will now be available in Props > CartesiusBooks. --------------------- Poser 4 users: If you are using Poser 4 you will need to convert the "_BMP.jpg" files to bump maps BEFORE adding the figure to the scene! Here's how to do it: 1) Go to the Materials Editor (Render > Materials). 2) Select the Ground. 3) Click the "Load..." button next to the "Bump Map" and browse for the "_BMP.jpg" files. Poser will then convert it. 4) Click the Cancel button when done (this will cancel the material change, but not undo the conversion). Poser will save the BUM file to the same folder as the jpg file (to be used later) and will also retain the bump map in memory (to be used now). 5) Go to the Props > CartesiusBooks and add the bookrow to your scene. --------------------- 'Bookrow Varied' contains: 1 obj-files 1 Poser prop (PP2) 1 1024x1024 color texture 1 1024x1024 bump texture 1 1024x1024 UV-template --------------------- For use in your favorite 3D application: The basic fileformat is *.obj which means that it's widely accepted in most 3D applications, not only Poser - simply import the *.obj file into your preferred 3D modelling application and re-assign the textures if necessary. You might have to scale the model once it's imported. --------------------- The texture for 'Bookrow Varied' is 1024 x 1024 and based on photographic resources as well as books in my own posession and should be suitable for most renders except close-ups. The color map comes with corresponding bump map. The bookrow is modeled with CINEMA 4D R9 and exported as Wavefront *.obj using the Riptide plugin. The bookrow is completely UV-mapped with BodyPaint 3D R2 and comes with a UV-template so you can create your own textures. The naming of the texture and bump maps are pretty straight forward, with the name of the model it belongs to first then finally if it's a color or a bump map. For example: BookRowVar_BMP.jpg - Bump map for Bookrow Varied BookRowVar_COL.jpg - Color map for Bookrow Varied It should be very easy to understand once you see the actual files :) --------------------- Macintosh users: If you are using Poser 4 or ProPack you might need MacConverter to convert *.rsr files to a Macintosh compatible resource. MacConverter is available from http://www.soft-rabbit.com. --------------------- Exact list of all files included in this pack: License.txt BookrowVaried_ReadMe.txt BookrowVaried_thumb.jpg \Runtime\textures\cartesius\ BookRowVar_BMP.jpg BookRowVar_COL.jpg BookRowVar_UV.jpg \Runtime\libraries\Props\CartesiusBooks\ BookRowVar.png BookRowVar.pp2 BookRowVar.rsr --------------------- System Requirements: Poser 4 (Mac/Windows) and higher, or any application that can import the Wavefront *.obj file format --------------------- Have fun and don't hesitate to contact me if you need any help!
