The Poser Villa 12/25/07 by Richabri (Rick Bridenbaker) Thank you for purchasing the 'Poser Villa' set for Poser! All of this product's content was created by Richabri. =============================================================================== Description: =============================================================================== Courtyard, balcony, patio deck, roof top deck, interior and exterior stairways plus fully modeled lower and upper interior spaces - the Poser Villa gives you many different scene areas for your Poser renders. Add the included pergola and other accent pieces along with your plants and furniture to create an endless variety of scenes for your Poser characters. The Poser Villa is a set of 15 props that replicate a simple, yet stylish villa building structure. Both the exterior and interior feature detailed modeling to give you many different scene areas for your renders. The Poser Villa includes 26 camera presets covering the entire structure to make it easy to move about the entire set. The left side and front walls are separate props that can be removed to make it easier to set up and use the interior areas for your renders. All of the doors including the front gate doors are separate props that can be swung open from their hinge areas with a normal Y-Rotation. Optionally, they can be removed. The modular design allows you to use only those elements that are needed for your scene but the very light-weight mesh will be easy on your system resources even when all of the props are loaded. Efficient and functional the Poser Villa has everything you need to set up beautiful and romantic scenes with your Poser characters including: !!Building !!FrontWall !!SideWall !Door Left !Door Right !GateDoor Left !GateDoor Right Courtyard Well Pole Lantern Pergola Planter 1 Planter 2 Shelf Stone Bench Wall Lantern =============================================================================== Everything comes as Poser ready props that can be loaded from the Category menu or for even easier use - just load the included PZ3 file which loads everything and has a default lighting and camera scheme. The set also includes 26 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 Poser Villa comes with high resolution textures that will well support large renders or extreme close-up shots. The Poser Villa was tested to work in every version of Poser and should work with no problems in Daz Studio as well. ============================================================================= Notes: =============================================================================== CAMERA PRESETS: Some of the camera presets won't work unless you have the !SideWall prop removed from the scene. These include the 'Inter Low #1.cm2' and the 'Inter Up #1.cm2' camera presets. I chose to use the naming convention of 'Inter Low' and 'Inter Up' to represent the 'Interior Lower' and 'Interior Upper' camera areas. SHADOW CASTING: The shadow casting ability of the !!Building, !!FrontWall and !!SideWall props are turned off by default to make it easier to light any given scene, If you want these props to cast a shadow you will have to turn on the shadow casting ability for each prop. You can do this by selecting the prop(s) and going to Object - Properties from the Poser menu and clicking on the Cast Shadows checkbox. LIGHTING: The lighting scheme uses 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 preset was provided to give a general illumination of this set. It should be adequate for most scenes but I highly recommend adjusting it for any specific scenes you may create if you choose to use it. 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. =============================================================================== You will need Poser 4/5/6/7 or later with the latest patches or Pro Pack to use these props. =============================================================================== To install: Unzip the archive (PoserVilla.zip) to the root folder wherever you installed Poser: (i.e., C:\Program Files\Curious Labs\Poser 6).
