------------------------------------- 1. Product Name: ------------------------------------- Species for Dinoraul's Pentaceratops ©2014 James Kuether and Luca Massini Thank you for purchasing this product! ***PLEASE NOTE: In order to use this product you must have purchased Dinoraul’s Pentaceratops sternbergi and/or Dinoraul’s Brachyceratops montanensis*** ------------------------------------- 2. Vendor/Author Name: ------------------------------------- James Kuether (MNArtist) and Luca Massini (lmx3d) ------------------------------------- 3. Product Description: ------------------------------------- Three custom morphs and textures to turn Dinoraul’s Pentaceratops into three new species of dinosaur: Chasmosaurus, Bravoceratops and Agujaceratops. And as an added bonus, one custom morph and texture to turn Dinoraul’s Brachyceratops into a juvenile Chasmosaurus. The character poses included in Dinoraul’s original Pentaceratops and Brachyceratops sets will work for the new figures as well (there are no new poses included in this set). ------------------------------------- 4. System Requirements: ------------------------------------- PC or MAC, Poser 8 and above, DAZ Studio 4.6. ------------------------------------- Following are suggested DAZ studio material settings (big thanks to Phil Brownlow for testing and providing us with these):   Set lighting model to matt ( or skin can work too): DAZ defaults to plastic which makes everything to shinny.   Set defuse colour to white to get the full colour of the map or a tint can work to make subtle colour variations.   In specular   Set glossiness to 100% .If you want a bit of shine on the horns etc you can play with this setting and the specularity settings.   Displacement:   It can also look better to put the bump map into the displacement channel and remove it from the bump channel:   Use these settings on the displacement:   For Chasmosaurus, Agujaceratops, Bravoceratops   Skin: Displacement Strength:  100%?Minimum displacement: -0.50?Minimum displacement: -0.50   Horn Displacement Strength:  100%?Minimum displacement: -0.40?Minimum displacement: -0.40   For the Chasmosaurus juvenile it’s pretty much the same except maybe decrease the settings a bit for the skin. -0.40  and the horn -0.35 seems to work.   A good way to check on your displacement map is to temporarily remove the colour map from the diffuse channel and render the scene. This will show how the displacement is working and you can decide if you need more or less.   You can of course experiment with these but this is a good starting point to get the details showing well. ------------------------------------- Vue Import: Vue handles materials very differently than Poser. The following are suggested guidelines. You may need to alter these to suit your own tastes or your scenes lighting: After importing the scene, enter the material editor and make sure you are in the Advanced Material Editor. Suggested Bump setting is .015 for skin, and .008 for all other materials. In the Highlights tab, take both Highlight global intensity and Highlight global size down to 0 (you may want to add a little highlight back into the beaks and horns). In the Eye or, if it exists, Eye Lens material, change the Highlight global size and Highlight global intensity both to 80%. Another tip to make your model stand out in the scene is to add a quadratic spot light on the model. If you do this, enter the Spotlight Editor (right click on the spotlight and choose Edit Object, or just double click on it). In the Influence tab, under Objects influenced by light, first click None, and the Only objects marked below… then check the model(s) you want highlighted. Finally, in the Quadratic spot material settings, change the softness to 8. You may need to adjust some or all of these settings, but they should get you started. ------------------------------------- 5.
