Description:

This is a very large prop set for the holiday season, an entire holiday feast suitable for harvest celebrations. It contains food, dishes and tablecloths, with the tablecloths and presets made to fit the tables from DAZ3D's Curious Tea prop set.  It has turkey, ham, gravy, potatoes, corn, butter, dressing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and many other American holiday food favorites.  

This set includes:

-37 NEW AND UNIQUE cr2 props
-6 large presets using the new props + tables from DAZ Curious Tea
-Poser 5+ .pz2 and DAZ 3.0 .dsa poses for each and every new prop

Every single piece is in cr2 format for materials compatibility, and every single one has both pz2 and dsa presets for the materials.  DAZ compatibility has been thoroughly tested and the DAZ mats were done by hand, not automation, made to render beautifully with minimal work for you.

There are many preloads included for both the large and small tables.  Please look at the file list - you'll be amazed what gorgeous scenes you can render with amazingly little effort.  Extra presets are even included so that you can use "milk glass" settings to render the punch bowl and other clear items to avoid render lag on transparencies.  Not only that, but every single item is available by itself, too - you can use them in absolutely any scene of your own composition.

Happy Holidays, and enjoy your meal!



--------------------------------------
System Requirements:

PC and Mac compatible
Poser 6+ recommended for materials reasons
DazStudio 3.0+ recommended ditto

Original artist used Poser 7 and DAZ Studio 3.0 Advanced for development and pre-submission testing on a machine with 64 bit Vista Ultimate.  

--------------------------------------
Ownership Statement:

All of this product's content was created by SickleYield.  

A Curious Tea is copyright 2010 by LaurieS at DAZ3d.com, and no part of that product is included with this one.

--------------------------------------
Needed Files:

DAZ Curious Tea, or other product with rectangular tables (would require considerable extra work, but it's doable)


--------------------------------------
Installation Instructions:

Unzip to your Poser or DAZ/content directory using a program such as 7zip or 
Stuffit for Mac users.


--------------------------------------
Usage Tips or Limitations:

The preloads with tables will throw errors if used without Curious Tea.  If you want to use this without A Curious Tea, use the tablecloth+food versions and add your own table and chairs under/around them.

If you're using an entire preload and finding that your render is lagged to the point where it's ridiculous, taking out the punch bowl, glasses and punch will probably fix most of it.  Reducing transparency on the cranberry sauce or removing it entirely may also help on older systems.

ADDITIONAL:

If you have a great idea for a food product, please contact me on Renderosity or the DAZ3D forums!  I've done a traditional American holiday meal because that's what I'm familiar with, but that doesn't mean I won't do foods from other cultures if there's a market. Like most Americans, I love all foods from everywhere. ;)
