It share the same visual style as my other products like Steampunk Street, Steampunk Cathedral and both Steampunk Castle Construction Kits (1 - Old Donjon, 2 - Steam Plant and 3 Priory of the Steam) so using all products together is well intended and works well. Also my other products like Airship Cabin and Airship Hull or Balloon Victoria can be used with all these products very well. Using of World Dominance is quite easy and quite similar as use of my other construction kits or poser playsets products. Using of these items depends on your personal preferences. There are three main workflow styles for using these items: Instant Play This time there is slight change, since main structures, Super Cannon and Bull Tower are made as poser figures with ERC control dials in Body. This ensures bigger user control and better functionality like synchronized gearwork in cannon, moving gun floor in tower and so on. Except of these two figures, there is also grouped figure where is the cannon already parented to tower´s gunfloor, so you can move it as intended. There are also scenic props applied and parented to various bodyparts of the cannon or the tower. As a bonus you are getting BRS figure, ultimate fire control button made into decorative world globe. This will be available also as freebie. For the best render result you can choose provided light presets. Model and textures are suitable for long distance shots as well as for closeups. All windows (which are also independent objects) use the high ambience value, so it will glow in low density lightning. Modify The second workflow style presumes you will load the premade presets and want the slightly or considerably modify it, edit it… It is midway style between instant play and building from scratch, since you will use most of presets configuration but you will alter it according to your needs. You can for example delete some part of preset (such as towers, gangplanks, armature plates and so on.) You may also need to duplicate some feature, such as windows, doors, turrets and so on. For example, if you need to build non-fantasy – non steampunk type of building, you can just delete all steampunk style stuff like pipes, armatures, and so on. For duplicating features like windows you can do so at… For parented props you will be asked if you want duplicate also the parent, which may or may not help you with placement of cloned prop. Choose either possibility according your actual need. For placing or moving the props may be better to use orthogonal cameras which will help you more precisely place the item. You can resave sour modified presets to the library for next use. Build from Scratch Building from scratch is possibly the most creative work with any construction set content items. With all other Steampunk Castle Construction Kit Sets you can built wide array of interesting fantastic of historical correct structures. You will start with loading any presets and choosing its individual parts for resaving. This way you can make your own presets or semi-presets used for further building. For building from scratch you generally use all guidelines provided above, but you definitely use more creativity. The best is probably either load some of provided preset and then cannibalize it – delete parts you don’t need and resave the rest or just choose parts you like and these save into library. You can thus make your own presets or semi-presets and then use them for your own projects. In such work you are limited only by your imagination and fantasy. Most of objects are closed boxes so you can rotate them, translate and intersect with any other objects. You can even resize them, but be frugal and do not stretch it too much otherwise the textures will look bad. If you do so, you can use some procedural materials for which the stretching of UVs is not a problem. Don’t forget, you can use only a part of objects and the rests you can hide into terrain, into other objects or even out of camera view. You can use some objects in totally different way. Doors and windows are modeled as deeper boxes, so you can sink them into surface as far as needed, just be sure, the surface of the glass (usually the “blindglass” material) is still visible. All windows are set to glow in low density lightning by using their ambient attribute. Included are several scenic props like walls, balustrades, fountain, monuments or even all of the machineries. These can be used alone for any other projects of yours. Model is completely UV mapped. For certain parts of models are provided texture templates, other material zones are textured by procedural materials or by tiled textures and templates are not aplicable for them. Tiled textures and procedural materials may need adjustments in DAZ studio, Carrara or or other 3d applications. All poser props have extracted geometry to obj. mesh files which you can use for importing to other modeling or rendering application. One or more textures on this 3D model have been created with images from CGTextures.com. These images may not be redistributed by default, please visit www.cgtextures.com for more information. -------------------------------------- Files Included in the Product: \Runtime\Geometries\World Dominance ammocache.obj BigGun.obj BRS.obj BullTower.obj buttresses.obj cartridge.obj cartridges.obj controlplatform.obj cranecraddle.obj doorwell.obj gangplank.obj portal.obj railset.obj shell1.obj shell2.obj socle.obj socle2.obj towersegment.obj \Runtime\Libraries\Camera\World Dominance 01.cm2 01.png 02.cm2 02.png 03.cm2 03.png 04.cm2 04.png 05.cm2 05.png 06.cm2 06.png 07.cm2 07.png 08.cm2 08.png 09.cm2 09.png 10.cm2 10.png 11.cm2 11.png 12.cm2 12.png 13.cm2 13.png 14.cm2 14.png 15.cm2 15.png \Runtime\Libraries\Character\World Dominance BRS.cr2 BRS.png Bull Tower.cr2 Bull Tower.png Super Cannon.cr2 Super Cannon.png Tower with Cannon.cr2 Tower with Cannon.png \Runtime\Libraries\Light\World Dominance Dominance Day.lt2 Dominance Day.png Dominance Night.lt2 Dominance Night.png Dominance Sunrise.lt2 Dominance Sunrise.png Dominance Sunset.lt2 Dominance Sunset.png \Runtime\Libraries\Pose\World Dominance Cannon on the Ground.png Cannon on the Ground.pz2 \Runtime\Libraries\Props\World Dominance Cartridges.png Cartridges.pp2 Control Platform.png Control Platform.pp2 Doorwell.png Doorwell.pp2 Portal.png Portal.pp2 Railset.png Railset.pp2 Shells.png Shells.pp2 Tower Segment.png Tower Segment.pp2 \Runtime\Textures\Reflection Maps\World Dominance cybertenko_dominance_enviro.jpg \Runtime\Textures\World Dominance cybertenko_dominance_barrel.jpg cybertenko_dominance_barrel_b.jpg cybertenko_dominance_bluestone.jpg cybertenko_dominance_bluestone_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_Bronze.jpg cybertenko_dominance_Bronze_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_Bronze_S.jpg cybertenko_dominance_concrete.jpg cybertenko_dominance_concrete1.jpg cybertenko_dominance_concrete1_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_concrete1_S.jpg cybertenko_dominance_concrete2.jpg cybertenko_dominance_concrete3.jpg cybertenko_dominance_cranecover.jpg cybertenko_dominance_darksteel.jpg cybertenko_dominance_darksteel_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_darksteel_N.jpg cybertenko_dominance_darksteel_S.jpg cybertenko_dominance_floorgrill.jpg cybertenko_dominance_floorgrill_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_glass.jpg cybertenko_dominance_glass1.jpg cybertenko_dominance_glass_A.jpg cybertenko_dominance_goldplated.jpg cybertenko_dominance_gunfloor.jpg cybertenko_dominance_gunfloor_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_innerwall.jpg cybertenko_dominance_ironfloor.jpg cybertenko_dominance_ironfloor2.jpg cybertenko_dominance_ironfloor2_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_lightsteel.jpg cybertenko_dominance_lightsteel_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_lightsteel_S.jpg cybertenko_dominance_metal.jpg cybertenko_dominance_metal_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_mount.jpg cybertenko_dominance_ordnance.jpg cybertenko_dominance_ordnance2.jpg cybertenko_dominance_roof.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rusted10.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rusted10_b.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rusted4.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rusted4_b.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rustrivets3.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rustrivets3_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rusty1.jpg cybertenko_dominance_rusty2.jpg cybertenko_dominance_steelplate1.jpg cybertenko_dominance_steelplate2.jpg cybertenko_dominance_stone.jpg cybertenko_dominance_tower.jpg cybertenko_dominance_tower_B.jpg cybertenko_dominance_tower_S.jpg cybertenko_dominance_treadtile.jpg cybertenko_dominance_treadtile_B.jpg \Templates bulltower_support.jpg supercannon_steelplate2.jpg supercannon_steelplate1.jpg ordnance.jpg supercannon_mount.jpg supercannon_barrel.jpg bulltower_innerwall.jpg bulltower_tower.jpg \Promos World Dominance 1 CONCEPT.jpg World Dominance 2 SUPER CANNON.jpg World Dominance 3 SUPER CANNON.jpg World Dominance MAIN PROMO.jpg World Dominance promo thumb.jpg World Dominance 4 BULL TOWER.jpg World Dominance 5 VARIANTS.jpg World Dominance 6 PROPS.jpg World Dominance 7 LIGHTS.jpg World Dominance 8 EXAMPLES.jpg \Documentation license.txt World_Dominance_README.txt
