Poser Houseboat Set 12/01/10 by Richabri (Rick Bridenbaker) =============================================================================== Thank you for purchasing the Poser Houseboat Set! All of this product's content was created by Richabri. =============================================================================== Description: =============================================================================== The Poser Houseboat is a set of twenty-five Poser ready props that replicates a House Boat complete with all furnishings and fixtures. This is not simply a model of an external shell but the Poser Houseboat Set comes with a detailed interior that can be used for your Poser scenes. Camera presets are matched to all of the interior areas to snap to the conning station, living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom areas. Camera presets are also provided to take you around the Houseboat exterior as well. The complete Houseboat is a fairly high poly-count model so its modular design will allow you to load only the parts that are necessary for your scene requirements. You can load in the !!!Houseboat Empty prop if you only need the external shell or the !!!Houseboat Complete prop if you need the interior areas, furniture and fixtures. The choice is yours. The included PZ3 files load in the Houseboat fully furnished or empty of all interior elements - both with a large Water Plane and a default lighting scheme. You will need Poser 5+ or Daz Studio use this set. =============================================================================== The Poser Houseboat Set includes the following props: Props (PP2): ========================= !!!Houseboat Complete !!!Houseboat Empty !!!Water Plane !!Lower Deck !!OB Motors !!Upper Deck !!Wall-Bow !!Wall-Port !!Wall-Starboard !!Wall-Stern !Bedroom !Bathroom !Conning Station !Kitchen !Door Back !Door Bathroom !Door Front Left !Door Front Right Bar-Cabinet Bed Chair Life Preserver Pillow Sofa Table =============================================================================== Everything comes as Poser-ready props that can be loaded from the content palette under the Props sections. The Poser Houseboat Set also comes with all of the texture templates to allow you to give the props a custom look of your own design. ============================================================================= Notes: ============================================================================= Camera Presets: =================== The included camera presets provide six external camera views of the Houseboat and thirteen internal views of the set. The internal camera presets are shot from the four nautical sides of the Houseboat - Bow, Stern, Port and Starboard sides: 'From Bow #1', 'From Stern #3', etc. In order to use these camera presets you have to remove the corresponding boat sides (for the particular preset) from your scene along with any other props along the chosen wall that may block your camera view. i.e., to use one of the 'From Starboard' presets you will have to remove the Wall-Starboard prop along with the Sofa, Kitchen and Bedroom props. You can add them back later because all props are parented to the Lower Deck prop so they should pop right back into place. The same is true for any of the other three nautical sides. Lighting: =================== The lighting scheme uses four infinite lights with only light (Main) having the ability to create shadows and the other three providing fill and ambient lighting. Usually all that will be needed to light most scenes is to Y-Rotate the Main light. The lighting preset was provided to give a general illumination of this set. It should be adequate for most scenes but I highly recommend adjusting it for any specific scenes you may create if you choose to use it. Also, you may have to turn off the Shadow Casting ability of some of the props if you get unwanted shadows in your scene. The PZ3 files load in the set with the shadow casting ability of the Upper Deck turned off by default so that the interior will not be overly dark for any interior scenes. ====================================================== INSTALLATION: ====================================================== Unzip the archive (Houseboat.zip) to the root folder wherever you installed Poser: (i.e., C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 8).
