====================================================================== ************************************************************ *Product Name: Photo Plants: Leafdropper for Daz Studio Dforce *Copyright 14/4 2018 *By: ShaaraMuse3D *Contact: Renderosity Sitemail ************************************************************ Spice up your Daz scenes with the Leafdropper! The popular Leafdropper is now available for Daz Studio and Dforce! Leafdropper allows you to put leaves into your scenes using Dforce dynamic room. It consists of 16 different items that can be moved and "dropped" onto your scene as dynamic cloth. Each item consists of many leaves, up to hundreds of them, with a big variety of textures. Some of the sets include up to 32 different leaves! This will ensure realism and variation. All together, there are over 180 different unique leaves! Each leaf is 256x256 pixels in size, with bump and transparency. It may seem small, but it's for each individual leaf, so they will render sharpy even with close ups/macros. A "cloud" is also included, with the leaves rotated in a cloud in random directions. This can be used either in cloth simulation or simply moved/rotated/scaled as-is in the scene and rendered. More details on how to use this item can be found in the readme. -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6 or higher -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Unzip the files into your Daz Studio content directory. To open a a prop, you go to props, then into the ShaaraMuse3D folder and then into the Scenery and PP_Leafdropper folder. To apply a material, go to materials, and then into the ShaaraMuse3D folder and into the PP_Leafdropper folder. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: Using this product is fairly simple. Just do the following steps: 1. Make sure you have your scene set up the way you want it. 2. Load one of the leaf clusters. 3. Dynamics is already set up for the leaves, so all you have to do is to align them over your scene (Make sure they are above the scene, any leaf inside something will disappear during the simulation) 4. Hit simulate either from present frame, or through the animation range if you have set up your scene this way. * You can add as many clusters as you want, using a new simulation for each one, using different leaf textures and variants * A "Cloud" is also included, this one is not flat, but has random rotation in a cloud structure, this is very useful if you want the sense of leaf falling from the trees in mid-air. Can be simulated or just placed as-is. * Make sure before the simulation that the cluster is -above- the items it is going to collect with, adjust this with the y-translate on your first frame. * Try rotating and scaling the leaf clusters before simulation to get even more leaf variations! ****************************** ** Merchant resources used: ** ****************************** - My own photos and textures ************************ * General Stuff * ************************ Templates for creating textures can be found in the Templates folder. As far as the legal stuff goes, see the renderosity license txt file. But as a general rule, use it however you want in your personal or commercial renders, just dont redistribute the package, in whole or in part, to make a competing product! Happy renderings! -------------------------------------- Files Included in the Product: ..Documentation\ PP_LeafdropperDS_Readme.txt RENDEROSITY-LICENSE.txt
