And will look even better if you use the render settings provided. It only takes some seconds to install them. - Read the tutorial about render settings in the Tutorials folder of our product LIGHTS - If you make other lights, they will look better if you set Shadow Blur Radius at 10 and Shadow Min Bias at 0.2 in the new lights that you create. PRELOADS AND DAZ STUDIO - The Preloads in the Character\H3DWinter folder may need some adjustement in their shaders. Simply select the terrain, rocks, and fences and apply the mat poses to them, so the bump map is correctly fixed. -------------------------------------- Files Included in the Product: Render Settings ======================================= Hiperia3D.prp Runtime\Geometries\H3DWinter ======================================== bgreentree.obj fence3.obj fencepart.obj snowfence.obj snowplane.obj snowstone.obj thickfir.obj winterbush.obj winterfir.obj winterpano.obj winterterr.obj Runtime\libraries\Character\H3DWinter ========================================= !!Preload1.cr2 !!Preload1.png !!Preload2.cr2 !!Preload2.png !!Preload3.cr2 !!Preload3.png !!Preload4.cr2 !!Preload4.png !!Preload5.cr2 !!Preload5.png !3Stones.cr2 !3Stones.png fence3.cr2 fence3.png fencePart.cr2 fencePart.png snowFence.cr2 snowFence.png snowPlane.cr2 snowPlane.png snowStone.cr2 snowStone.png thickFir.cr2 thickFir.png winterBush.cr2 winterBush.png winterFir.cr2 winterFir.png winterPanorama.cr2 winterPanorama.png winterTerrain.cr2 winterTerrain.png Runtime\libraries\Character\H3DWinter\Billboards ================================================== bgreenTree.cr2 bgreenTree.png bsnowTree.cr2 bsnowTree.png greenGroup.cr2 greenGroup.png whiteGroup.cr2 whiteGroup.png Runtime\libraries\Light\H3DWinter ========================================================= afternoon.lt2 afternoon.png dawn.lt2 dawn.png delete_all.lt2 delete_all.png evening.lt2 evening.png morning.lt2 morning.png nightfall.lt2 nightfall.png Runtime\libraries\Pose\H3DWinter ==================================== fence1.dsa fence1.png fence1.pz2 fence2.dsa fence2.png fence2.pz2 fence3.dsa fence3.png fence3.pz2 fence4.dsa fence4.png fence4.pz2 fence5.dsa fence5.png fence5.pz2 fir.png fir.pz2 firSnow.png firSnow.pz2 stoneClean.dsa stoneClean.png stoneClean.pz2 stoneSnow.dsa stoneSnow.png stoneSnow.pz2 thickSnow.png thickSnow.pz2 thinSnow.png thinSnow.pz2 trans_off.dsa trans_off.png trans_off.pz2 winterBush.png winterBush.pz2 winterBushSnow.png winterBushSnow.pz2 winterTerrain.dsa winterTerrain.png winterTerrain.pz2 wpano1.png wpano1.pz2 wpano2.png wpano2.pz2 wpano3.png wpano3.pz2 wpano4.png wpano4.pz2 wpano5.png wpano5.pz2 Runtime\libraries\Pose\H3DWinter\Billboards ============================================== bgreenTree.png bgreenTree.pz2 bsnowTree.png bsnowTree.pz2 Runtime\Textures\H3DWinter ============================= bark.jpg bsnowTree.jpg bsnowTreeT.jpg bushsnow.jpg fence.jpg greenFir.jpg greenFirT.jpg leave.jpg leaveSnow.jpg leaveT.jpg panowinter1.jpg panowinter2.jpg panowinter3.jpg panowinter4.jpg panowinter5.jpg snow.jpg snowPlane.jpg snowPlane2.jpg stone.jpg stoneSnow.jpg trunk.jpg wfence2.jpg wfence3.jpg wfence4.jpg wfence5.jpg winterbush.jpg Wterrain.jpg Snowy Scenes Creator Readme ============================= license.txt readme.txt Tutorials ================================= Render Settings Tutorial.pdf Snowy Scenes Creator Manual.pdf
