All files in the "scene"-folder go into: Poser/Runtime/libraries/scene/... ************************************************************************************************************** Usage Tips or Limitations: The Universe Prop The Universe Prop is a light emitting orb that floats around your poserscene, you can apply materials to the Universe Prop from the library out of the Universe Materials folder. You can also edit the applied material of the Universe Prop by adjusting the Ambient Value for more or less light. The Background Prop The Background Prop is a backdrop with an attached floor, you can apply materials to the Background Prop from the library out of the Background Materials folder. The Light Props The Light Props are objects that emit light, to give extra light effects to your scenes. There are 10 Light Props, you can apply materials to the Light Props from the library out of the Light Prop Materials folder. These materials are different light emit strenghts, so you can choose that a prop gives a lot light or a little light. The Light Props will not be seen when rendered, but the lights that the props emit will be seen in the render. Note that it's best to decrease the ambient value of the Universe Prop when choosing high strenght light object(s) and/or decreasing the intensity of lights in your scene. You can scale the props and position them to your liking. Lights There are 3 lights included, A Specular Light which brings out the shine from the figures skin texture for example, this light does not cast shadows. A Back Light to give your figure a highlighted rim. A Main Light to give some extra brightness, if you should need it in your scene. Position the lights and change the intensity and/or color of the lights to your liking. There is also a remove all lights option included. To build your own setup: 1. Load the Universe prop and assign a material to it. 2. Load the background prop and assign a material to it. 3. Optional add light(s) 4. Optional add lightprop(s) and assign a material to it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1.Set the default Ground in Poser to invisible in the properties. (Uncheck Visible, uncheck visible in raytracing and uncheck visible in camera). 2. Check Indirect Light in your rendersettings. There are 12 predefined scenes which are build with the above props and lights. You can use these ready setups as a base to load your character in and render or you can use the predefined scenes as a starting point and from there change materials, lighting and props to your liking. Be aware when double clicking on presets and loading presets after eachother the props will be added to the scene, so you can get 6 of the same props in one scene, this gives undesirable results. Always use the simple check icon, never double click on the preset, never use the double check icon, this to avoid multiple scenes on top of eachother. Trouble shooting: Q:I get blue/green artifacts when using sss and IDL. A: Scale the Universe Prop up to 1000%. Q: The lights from the preset scenes are added on top of the default/existing lights. A: Use the Remove Lights option before adding a preset scene. *** All materials you can find in the Materials Library so >>not in the pose library<< You can find the props in the Prop Library and the texture options in the Material Library in a folder called Biscuits Select the Prop first if you want to apply a Material. *** >>>This is NOT a merchant resource, NONE of the files may be distributed in any way.<<< The content in this package may NOT be redistributed, copied or sold in any way.
