The Backyard Pool Set 08/11/2023 by Richabri (Rick Bridenbaker) =============================================================================== All of this product's content was created by Richabri. =============================================================================== Thank you for purchasing the Backyard Pool Set :) =============================================================================== Description: =============================================================================== The Backyard Pool Set is a set of twenty-five props replicating a backyard swimming pool setting complete with swimming pool, pool house, dining area, deck and furniture. The completely modular design of the set allows you to use only those elements that you need for your scene. Separate movable (removable) set elements and (Pool House) walls makes it easy to set up and navigate your scene. Complete and functional, the Backyard Pool Set set is easy to use and will perform well for any of your backyard pool renders! The Backyard Pool Set comes with the following props in PP2 format: !Grounds Fence-Back Fence-Front Fence-Left Fence-Right Pergola FURNITURE PROPS: !!!Dining Area Preload C_Table Chair End Stand Lantern01 Lantern02 Large Plant Small Plant Sofa Chair Sofa Table Table POOL HOUSE PROPS: !!!PH-Preload !!PH-Roof !PH-Deck PH-I_Wall01 PH-I_Wall02 PH-Wall_Back PH-Wall_Front PH-Wall_Left PH-Wall_Right =============================================================================== Everything comes as Poser Ready props that can be loaded from the category menu or for even easier use - just load the included PZ3 file which has all of the props loaded with a default lighting scheme. The Backyard Pool Set also comes with all the texture templates to allow you to give the set elements a custom look of your own design. You will need Poser 5 (or higher) or Daz Studio to use these props. ============================================================================= NOTES: POSER'S GROUND PLANE: ===================== The set loads in with the patio area being the ground plane and center of the set. You need to turn off Poser's Ground Plane to prevent it from blocking the lower portion of the set (the backyard) while rendering. You can do by going to: Display -> Guides -> Ground Plane and turning it off. LIGHTING: ========== The lighting scheme uses five lights: four Infinite lights and one Point light for the Pool House interior. Only the 'Main' Infinite light has the ability to create shadows and the other three Infinite lights provide fill and ambient lighting. 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. PARENTING: All of the Pool House elements are parented to the !Deck prop. You can reposition the entire Pool House at once by repositioning the !Deck. The Dining Area chairs and lantern are parented to the Table prop. =============================================================================== To install: Unzip the archive (BY-Pool.zip) to the root folder wherever you installed Poser: (i.e., C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 8).
