Where to find your files: Figures:Celebration Chic (these are all items with moveable parts) Art Deco Clock Champagne Bucket Poses:Celebration Chic DAZ Materials (these are the material files specially optimised for DAZ Studio only. They do not work with Poser.) Art Deco Clock Block New, Block Noel and Block Year Bottle Corked Bottle Open Candleabra Champagne Bucket Deco Bauble Blanc and Deco Bauble Noir Starglitter Gold and Starglitter Silver Streamer Gold and Streamer Silver Props:Celebration Chic (these are all your props which don't have moving parts) Bauble Bottle Corked Bottle Open Champagne Glass Clock Key Cork Deco Block Deco Candleabra Ice Star Glitter Streamer Streamer2 Materials:Celebration Chic (these are all Poser Materials and can be accessed through your Poser Material Room) Bauble Blanc and Bauble Noir Block New, Block Noel and Block Year StarGlitter Gold and StarGlitter Silver Streamer Gold and Streamer Silver ******************************************************************************* Usage tips/Limitations: Poser Users: Don't forget to tick 'Displacement Maps Enabled' in your 'Render Settings' tab to see the bumpy bits! The renders will still work fine without it, but the models with displacement maps won't show the same amount of surface detail. Optimised Daz settings: Because Poser and Daz have slightly different ways of remembering surface settings, this set comes with specially optimised Daz materials. You will need to manually apply them, but this only takes a single click for each item. 1. Select your prop (ie: StarGlitter) 2. Navigate to the Poses - Celebration Chic DAZ Materials file 3. Click the appropriate icon (ie: StarGlitter Gold) You can select multiple items in your scene tree (hold down the 'ctrl' button and select all the ones you need) then apply the appropriate setting with one click - so you can load up a dozen Champagne bottles and update them to the Daz settings all at once. You won't see much of a change (if any) in the viewport - You will need to render to see the difference! Displacement and Bump both change the way they look according to how close the camera is to a prop. The closer you are, the 'bumpier' it looks. If you are rendering very close up, you may need to alter the displacement settings to suit your render. This can be done in the 'Materials' tab in Poser and the 'Surfaces' tab in Daz. It's something that's definately worth playing around with to get the best effect. LIMITATIONS: The product has been tested in Daz2, Daz3, DS3Advanced, and Poser 6. It should operate on Poser 4 upwards without issues, but we haven't tested in all of them. Not tested on any Macs, sorry. Technical support: Sadly I am not much of a Poser user, or indeed very technical (much better on Daz!). I will certainly do my best to help with any queries though - contact me - skip1871 through the Renderosity webmail system. ************************************************************************************ Files List: Contained in the zip: Celebration Chic ReadMe.txt EULA :\Runtime\UV Maps UV-Bauble2.jpg uv-block.jpg UV-Champage-Bottle-Open.jpg UV-Champage-Cork.jpg UV-Champagne-Bottle.jpg UV-Champagne-Bucket.jpg UV-Clock-Key.jpg UV-DecoClock.jpg :\Runtime\Geometries\Skip1871\CelebrationChic cc bauble.obj cc candleabra.obj cc champagne bucket.obj cc champagne glass.obj cc clock key.obj cc cork.obj cc corked bottle.obj cc deco block.obj cc deco clock.obj cc ice.obj cc open bottle.obj cc starglitter plane.obj cc streamer.obj cc streamer2.obj :\Runtime\Textures\Skip1871\CelebrationChic Bauble Blanc.jpg Bauble Noir.jpg BaubleSpec.jpg Block New.jpg Block Noel.jpg BlockNewDisp.jpg BlockNoelDisp.jpg BlockYear.jpg BlockYearDisp.jpg Bucket.jpg Clock Key.jpg Cork.jpg CorkedBottle.jpg CorkedBottleDisp.jpg CorkedBottleSpec.jpg DecoClock 8.jpg IceSpec.jpg OpenBottle.jpg OpenBottleDisp.jpg OpenBottleSpec.jpg OpsSquare.jpg ReflectMap.jpg StarGlitterOpDisp 1.jpg StarGold.jpg StarSilver.jpg :\Runtime\Libraries\Character\Celebration Chic Art Deco Clock.cr2 Art Deco Clock.png Champagne Bucket.cr2 Champagne Bucket.png :\Runtime\Libraries\Materials\Celebration Chic Bauble Blanc.mc6 Bauble Blanc.png Bauble Noir.mc6 Bauble Noir.png Block New.mt5 Block New.png Block Noel.mt5 Block Noel.png Block Year.mt5 Block Year.png StarGlitter Gold.mt5 StarGlitter Gold.png StarGlitter Silver.mt5 StarGlitter Silver.png Streamer Gold.mt5 Streamer Gold.png Streamer Silver.mt5 Streamer Silver.png :\Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Celebration Chic Daz Materials Art Deco Clock.ds Art Deco Clock.ds.png Art Deco Clock.png Art Deco Clock.pz2 Block New.ds Block New.ds.png Block New.png Block New.pz2 Block Noel.ds Block Noel.ds.png Block Noel.png Block Noel.pz2 Block Year.ds Block Year.ds.png Block Year.png Block Year.pz2 Bottle Corked.ds Bottle Corked.ds.png Bottle Corked.png Bottle Corked.pz2 Bottle Open.ds Bottle Open.ds.png Bottle Open.png Bottle Open.pz2 Candleabra.ds Candleabra.ds.png Candleabra.png Candleabra.pz2 Champagne Bucket.ds Champagne Bucket.ds.png Champagne Bucket.png Champagne Bucket.pz2 Deco Bauble Blanc.ds Deco Bauble Blanc.ds.png Deco Bauble Blanc.png Deco Bauble Blanc.pz2 Deco Bauble Noir.ds Deco Bauble Noir.ds.png Deco Bauble Noir.png Deco Bauble Noir.pz2 Starglitter Gold.ds Starglitter Gold.ds.png Starglitter Gold.png Starglitter Gold.pz2 Starglitter Silver.ds Starglitter Silver.ds.png Starglitter Silver.png Starglitter Silver.pz2 Streamer Gold.ds Streamer Gold.ds.png Streamer Gold.png Streamer Gold.pz2 Streamer Silver.ds Streamer Silver.ds.png Streamer Silver.png Streamer Silver.pz2 :\Runtime\Libraries\Props\Celebration Chic Bauble.png Bauble.pp2 Bottle Corked.png Bottle Corked.pp2 Bottle Open.png Bottle Open.pp2 Champagne Glass.png Champagne Glass.pp2 Clock Key.png Clock Key.pp2 Cork.png Cork.pp2 Deco Block.png Deco Block.pp2 Deco Candleabra.png Deco Candleabra.pp2 Ice.png Ice.pp2 Star Glitter.png Star Glitter.pp2 Streamer.png Streamer.pp2 Streamer2.png Streamer2.pp2
