---------------- Product Title: Pony GT for Poser Product Copyright: September 3, 2008 DreamerZ_Loft(Janice Calberry) -------------- Ownership statement: All of this product's content was created by Dreamerz_Loft using the following Vendor Resources: Car object and photo texture images: MustangMike -------------- Needed Files List and System Required: Poser 5 or higher, Poser Pro Pack for the Normal Map effects used on the various body materials. PC Only This package is optimized for use in Poser 6 or higher, and will not work in versions below 5. Detailed instruction for using the car are listed below. It has been tested in Poser 5,6 and 7 and Poser Pro. It has not been tested in DAZ Studio, but may work in it with some modifications to the materials by the user. -------------- Detailed Installation Instructions: Extract the zip-archive with your zip program: - Open WinZip or your preferred unzip utility, and press the button -Extract- - In the window -Folders/drives-, select the folder that contain your Poser program. (ex. c:\program files\Poser\ ). - The check box -Use Folder names- must be marked. That way, all files will placed in the correct path. Poser 5 and above users, all files should end up in the correct places if you have the "Use folder names" option checked. If you wish to install by hand, keep the files in the folders as listed below. -------------- Conversion and/or application instructions: - POSER 6, 7 and POSER PRO: Please be sure to use Raytracing and use the Firefly render engine, as this product is not optimized for use with the Poser 4 render engine and requires Raytracing for the reflective materials to work properly. POSER 5 USERS: The car will work in Poser 5, but due to the nature of the chrome materials, and the way Poser 5 was written, it will ask for a file to be located that does not exist. When the window comes up, asking you to locate NO_MAP, simply select cancel, and when asked by Poser if you want to continue looking for missing files select No. The car will load properly and will render properly as long as Raytracing is checked in the render options and you are using the Firefly render engine. Usage Notes: - The PonyGT uses a Normal Map in the Gradient Bump node, which enhances the engine bay and the grill logo when rendering the car using Poser Pro. The Normal Maps provide no extra effect in P5,P6 or P7, so you can unplug them if you wish, but you don't have to in order to render the car. - Poser Pro users can take full advantage of the Normal Maps used in this car. The Gradient bump is set to 1.0 by default, but can be increased if you wish, up to 3.0, any further and it doesn't look good. - MAT files are supplied for all the textures. PLEASE NOTE that you MUST have at least one figure loaded into your scene in order for the MAT poses to work. This can be any type of figure, from a character to a backdrop figure, but you must have a figure in the scene or the mat poses will not work! - Some materials will show white in the preview, due to the shader materials used, but will show the proper color when rendered. - It has been noticed that, if a light is pointed directly at the front of the car your render may stall when it comes to the pony on the front grill. The simple solution is to angle the light slightly up or down. - When using Image Based Lighting the chrome material will render almost black. To fix this, go into the Advanced Materials tab and set the Diffuse node to a strength of .3 or higher, and change the color to a light grey shade, depending on your desired brightness for the chrome. - Poses are included to place M3, V3 and V4 behind the wheel of the car in a driving position. You will find that the driver seat needs to be moved back slightly and the steering wheel moved towards the figures hands once your figure is in place. The amount of movement depends on which figure is used, and the adjustment is quick and simple to make using the morph dials.
