The Bridal Suite 10/30/05 by Richabri (Rick Bridenbaker) richabri@netzero.net or rbridenbak@adelphia.net Thank you for purchasing 'The Bridal Suite' set for Poser! All of this product's content was created by Richabri. =============================================================================== Description: =============================================================================== The Bridal Suite is a 36 piece prop set replicating a beautiful and spacious multilevel four room bridal or honeymoon hotel suite. The set features many distinct scene areas and comes fully furnished and ready to render up some gorgeous honeymoon scenes :) The Bridal Suite features a uniquely designed heart shaped king size bed and sunken Spa area as well as other uniquely designed furniture pieces including a bar cabinet with ice bucket, champagne, wine bottle and three different champagne glasses. The !!Ceiling is a separate prop to make it easier to set up your scenes. Beautifully textured surfaces compliment the original design of the rooms and custom designed furniture pieces. Replace the Heart Bed with a standard one and you have an awesome new apartment for your Poser scenes! Spacious and fully functional the Bridal Suite is easy to use and a real value for the price - it will perform well for your bridal, apartment or even luxury hotel suite scenes! The complete set is as follows: Building Props: ========================= !!Base !!Ceiling !BathroomDoor !ClosetDoorLeft !ClosetDoorRight !MainDoorLeft !MainDoorRight !PatioDoorLeft !PatioDoorRight Appliance/Fixture Props: ========================= BathVanity Fridge Microwave ShowerUnit TPRoll Toilet Furnishings: ========================== Bottle Cabinet Chair Champagne CoffeeTable Glass1 Glass2 Glass3 HeartBed IceBucket Lamp NightStand Picture Pillow Plant S_Table SofaUnit Table VanitySeat VanityTable WindowBlinds =============================================================================== The Bridal Suite also features three separate PZ3 files that will load the complete set, just the building by itself and one that only has the Bar Cabinet already loaded with smartprops - you can load this PZ3 with 'File -> Import -> Poser Document' to bring in a loaded Bar Unit directly into your scene. Use whichever PZ3 file that makes sense for your scene. Everything comes as Poser Ready props that can be loaded from the sidebar menu or for even easier use - just load one of the included PZ3 files which has a default lighting and camera scheme. The set also includes 19 camera presets and 1 light preset for easy scene creation. All of the prop's elements are completely modular and can be used separately or with other sets for maximum use and enjoyment. The Bridal Suite set comes with high resolution textures that will well support large renders or extreme close-up shots. ============================================================================= Notes: =============================================================================== MIRROR REFLECTIONS FOR P5 & P6: After I experimented with reflections in P5 & P6 I decided against creating two separate versions of this prop set - one that would implement true reflections (P5 & P6) in the mirrors and one that would not (P4 & PP). I didn't think the quality of the reflections in the mirrors was worth the extra file size and increased render time. Perhaps an update to this set will be forthcoming if I find out how to get better reflections in the mirrors that wouldn't require that the scene be rendered on a mainframe supercomputer :) All of the props that have mirrors have a separate mirror material however so you may wish to assign a raytraced reflection material to them in P5 or P6 if you'd like. The present mirror material just uses a reflection map to simulate a reflection pattern on the mirrors. MODEL SIZE: Although I made every effort to make these meshes as small and efficient as possible this is a fairly large set. If you have a slower, older computer I'd strongly recommend that you load only those elements that you need for your particular scene. You can load the 'BridalSuite Loaded.pz3' file to load everything and then delete the objects that are not needed for your scene. All of the elements are separate props and they can be loaded back into your scene if needed :) SHADOW CASTING: The shadow casting ability of the !!Base and !!Ceiling are turned off by default to make it easier to light any given scene, If you want the !!Base or !!Ceiling to cast a shadow you will have to turn on the shadow casting ability for that prop. You can do this by selecting the props and going to Object - Properties from the Poser menu and clicking on the Cast Shadows checkbox. PROP LOADING: This !!Base prop was shifted off center to allow you to load your characters and other items into the living room area which has it's floor at the same level as the groundplane in the Poser workspace. The !!Base, !!Ceiling and all of the door props will load into their default locations. All other props however will load into the center of the Poser workspace which is located in the living room area of the !!Base. That's where you will find the newly loaded items. I've found it easier to position characters and props by using the Top and Front cameras in wireframe view. Use the Top Camera to position the item in the rooms and the Front camera to set it to it's proper level :) DOORS: Some of the doors have their joint parameters adjusted to swing open from the hinges with a normal Y-Rotation. There are no limits to the swing however and you should be careful to control the final position of the door being opened. The Garage Door & Blast Door should be repositioned with a Y-Trans and X-Trans respectively. The three doors on the balcony are stationary props and do not move. LIGHTING: All lighting schemes use 4 infinite lights with only light (Main) having the ability to create shadows and the other three providing fill and ambient lighting. Usually all that will be needed to light most scenes is to Y-Rotate the Main light. The lighting presets were provided to give a general illumination of this set. They should be adequate for most scenes but I highly recommend adjusting them for any specific scenes you may create if you choose to use them. TEXTURES: The textures were chosen to provide the best look to the scene. You can easily change the look of the elements by changing the appropriate textures/colors in the Material Dialog Box in Poser. ADDITIONAL NOTES: All of the doors and the !!Ceiling props are smartpropped to the !!Base prop. You should first load the !!Base prop before loading the smartprops. =============================================================================== You will need Poser 4/5/6 or later with the latest patches or Pro Pack to use these props. =============================================================================== To install: Unzip the archive (BridalSuite.zip) to the root folder wherever you installed Poser: (i.e., C:\Program Files\Curious Lans\Poser 5).
