The buyers are not allowed to copy and resale this
pack or the files from it with the exemption of
the files I put in folder called "10-free-objects" that
can be modified, texturized or compleated and use
for commercial or noncomercial purpose or can be
imported in Poser and saved like props without
any alteration. 

This pack is a is a 'teaching' aid (a learn thru picture 
guide) for beginners that want to learn modelling and 
build their own props.
It is a little help in learning elementary commands 
and usual steps that lead from primitive objects to grouped 
objects and not very complex but helpfull props.
The pack contains the explanation about: 
1- how to build an object from primitive geometries
   like cube (box), cilinder, cone, pyramid etc, adding 
   more primitives or intersecting them, cloning, resizing 
   and allign them.
2- how to create objects from open curves rotating
   these around x, y or z axes.
3- how to create objects from closed curves and
   surfaces adding the 3-rd dimension to these.
4- how to create template maps for these objects
   using uvmapper.
5- how to create textures for your objects, painting
   with adequate tools or pasting and mixing some photos on 
   the templates you created, for more realistic results.
6- how to import the object files in your Poser program
   and how to save them like props in Poser's props folder.
   The pack contains 13 folders with jpg-picture-files and text
explanation files that illustrates the examples, commands, actions,
results and menus.

Put the pack on your disk-drive and unzip the archieve.
Use a proper software-program to see the jpg files and

To use the prop from chapter 11 follow this scheme:

   -make a folder (#2) called "monum" in Poser's textures folder
   -put monument2.pp2 and monument2.rsr files in #1)
