Medieval MegaPack May 27, 2002 by Richabri (Rick Bridenbaker) richabri@netzero.net or richabri@adelphia.net Thank you for purchasing the Medieval Megapack! ============================================================= PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: ============================================================= The Medieval MegaPack is composed of five separate Medieval props that I made earlier: The Medieval Room The Medieval Hall The Medieval Courtyard The Medieval GreatRoom The Medieval House But this is much more than just a compilation of the five props! All of the props now share common Props and Texture folders eliminating needless waste of category space in Poser and folders on your drive. More significantly though is that the geometry has been pulled from the props and converted into external OBJ files in the Geometries folder reducing scene file size dramatically. Also many more Camera & Light presets have been added to all of the props making all of them easier to use. Some of the props originally shipped with no presets at all! Finally, all five of the props have now been made to work by default in Standard Poser rather than Pro Pack. I think all of this qualifies this release as a significant upgrade rather than a simple bundling of old products. A brief description of each of the rooms is as follows: The Medieval Room: ============================================================= The Medieval Room prop(s) are a general purpose three sided room environment that simulates a rough hewn Medieval environment. The Medieval Room features a fireplace, kettle and storage loft. The Sidewall prop was added so you could completely enclose your scene with the fourth wall - if desired. The Medieval Hall: ============================================================= The Medieval Hall prop simulates a large indoor environment and gives the artist many interesting opportunities for scene creation. The Medieval Hall also includes a Front Wall Prop that not only serves to close off the set but also completes a detailed exterior view that can be used as well. The Medieval Courtyard: ============================================================= The Medieval Courtyard prop simulates a large outdoor environment and gives the artist many interesting opportunities for scene creation. Change the camera angle and you have a different and unique scene. You can shoot your scenes by the fountain, the cove, the balcony or the patio. Each offers a detailed environment for scene creation. The Medieval GreatRoom: ============================================================= The Medieval Greatroom replicates a large, richly detailed hall complete with double staircase, chandelier and balcony. There are actually two props here as the Greatroom Front Wall prop not only closes the set and completes a detailed exterior - but it can be used as a beautiful stand alone prop on its own. The Medieval House: ============================================================= The Medieval House Prop replicates an authentic cottage house from Medieval times. The Medieval House features a detailed interior and detailed exterior so it can be used as an environment or as a building in a outdoor scene. The Medieval House also includes a Front Wall Prop to close off the set and complete the detailed exterior. ============================================================= You will need Poser 4 with the latest patches or Pro Pack to use these props. ============================================================= ============================================================= INCLUDED FILES: ============================================================= Geometries: Greatroom Front Wall.obj Courtyard.obj Greatroom.obj Hall.obj House.obj Hall Front Wall.obj House Front Wall.obj Room.obj Room Side Wall.obj Props: Courtyard.pp2 Courtyard.rsr Greatroom Front Wall.pp2 Greatroom Front Wall.rsr Greatroom.pp2 Greatroom.rsr Hall Front Wall.pp2 Hall Front Wall.rsr Hall.pp2 Hall.rsr House Front Wall.pp2 House Front Wall.rsr House.pp2 House.rsr Room Side Wall.pp2 Room.pp2 Room Side Wall.rsr Room.rsr Cameras: [MedPackRoom] View 1.cm2 View 1.rsr View 2.cm2 View 2.rsr View 3.cm2 View 3.rsr View 4.cm2 View 4.rsr [MedPackHall] Long View.cm2 Front Wall.cm2 Front Wall.rsr Long View.rsr Closeup View.cm2 Closeup View.rsr [MedPackCourtyard] View 1.cm2 View 1.rsr View 2.cm2 View 2.rsr View 3.cm2 View 3.rsr View 4.cm2 View 4.rsr View 5.cm2 View 5.rsr [MedPackGreatroom] From Balcony.cm2 Front2Back.cm2 Balcony Close-Up.cm2 Balcony Close-Up.rsr Front2Back.rsr From Balcony.rsr [MedPackHouse] Exterior View.cm2 Exterior View.rsr Interior View 2.cm2 Interior View 2.rsr Interior View 1.cm2 Interior View 1.rsr Lights: [MedPackRoom] !Default Lighting.lt2 !Default Lighting.rsr Lighting 1.lt2 Lighting 1.rsr Lighting 2.lt2 Lighting 2.rsr Lighting 3.lt2 Lighting 3.rsr [MedPackHall] Front Wall.lt2 !Default Lighting.lt2 !Default Lighting.rsr Front Wall.rsr [MedPackCourtyard] !Default Lighting.lt2 !Default Lighting.rsr Lighting 2.lt2 Lighting 2.rsr Night Lighting.lt2 Night Lighting.rsr [MedPackGreatroom] FrontWall Lighting.lt2 Default Illumination.lt2 Default Illumination.rsr FrontWall Lighting.rsr [MedPackHouse] Interior Lighting.lt2 Exterior Lighting.lt2 Interior Lighting.rsr Exterior Lighting.rsr Front Wall Lighting.lt2 Front Wall Lighting.rsr Textures: MEDGRID.jpg 290.jpg AG008T03.JPG Back-492.jpg BARKDARK.jpg BRK34.JPG BRKWALL.jpg Bump02.bum BUMP02.JPG GLASS.jpg grass05.jpg MAHOG.JPG MEDBAN.jpg 1298marb.jpg METAL2A.jpg MURAL1.jpg Oldwd_Me.jpg Orngtil.jpg patio02.jpg PATIO02_.jpg PLANKS.JPG RUST.JPG shngl07.jpg Stain1.jpg STAIN2.jpg ston04M.jpg STONE006.JPG WDPANEL.jpg WOOD.jpg WOOD_03.JPG wood11M.jpg WoodCup.jpg WoodCupB.bum WoodCupB.jpg WOODCUT1.jpg Readme.txt & License.txt ============================================================= INSTALLATION: ============================================================= Unzip the archive (MedPack.zip) to the root folder wherever you installed Poser 4: (i.e., C:\Program Files\Metacreations\Poser 4).

With the exception of the Medieval Courtyard, all of the props provide a three sided room base with a separate wall prop to close off the set after you set up your characters and additional props. The included lighting presets use three lights to fully illuminate the interior and exterior views. There is one spot with its shadow parameter set on and two infinite lights without shadow. You may wish to change the intensity (and light colors) to suit your needs Camera presets are included for all of the props to simplify scene creation. You may use these as good strarting points for your scene creation. Also, many of the camera presets have light presets set up to illuminate that particular view. Check and see which light preset works best for the individual prop you are working with. * NOTE: Only two BUM files were included because of the space requirements of the archive. Users of Standard Poser may wish create BUM files for many of the textures to achieve the best possible looking scenes. Pro Pack users may wish to simply load the corresponding jpeg textures in as bump maps. ============================================================= All of the room props should already be appropriately scaled for a standard size Poser character. Some adjustments may be necessary to account for different computer environments. If you have any difficulties with the installation or use of these props, please email me with a description of your problem and I will respond promptly.
