REQUIREMENTS: E-On Software Vue Version 8 and later. Versions of the E-On Software Vue 8 + application that support ecosystem painting. This product will "load" or "import" successfully into any version of Vue greater than Version 8 that do not have Ecosystem Painting, but changes to the pages will be limited to changes of materials. Installation: This Vue *.vob file contains all the objects and materials for the six books. All the books are grouped into a single *.vob file. The group file has its pivot point located in the center of the group, so the books will necessarily "load" or "import" into the Vue application with half their body below the ground level of a standard Vue scene. (That is, the entire group of objects always load into a scene with the pivot point for the group at the zero (ground) level in the vertical axis. To load the books into Vue, either "Load" or "Import" the "BookWhimsy_Kit.vob" file. Then, select the group and move the group upward until the book collection rests just above and on the Vue ground plane. Now, you may ungroup the six books and either arrange them into a scene of your design, or you may save out any of the individual books to be their own *.vob file. Use and Tips: These fantasy books are used in a variety of Vue scenes, sometimes as elements of a larger scene or sometimes as stand-alone books used to make greeting card renders. All of the books have sub-components. Books that are intended for ecosystem painting have individual pages, in addition to the book covers. All of the small objects on the books (lanterns, benches, the trees, the kite, wooden steps and piers, letters for Book1, etc. ) are individual items that can be re-scaled, moved, rotated, duplicated and given different materials. Each of these can be saved out as an individual object and used in other Vue scenes. Books 3 and 4 are designed for ecosystem painting. Book 4 pages can be given a standard Vue Icy or Snow material to create a Winter scene. The pond can be given an ice material to that it will look frozen in such a scene. An illustration of this kind of Winter scene is shown in the included image called "Book4_Ice_1.jpg" Book 2, the Magic Book is designed for night or dark atmosphere scenes. Point lights of any color (and with colored lens flares) can be put into the spheres and diamonds to illuminate the book. And illustration of this kind of scene is shown in the included image called "MagicBook_2b.jpg". (For Vue Infinite Version 15 and higher, you can right-click on any of the rising spheres or diamonds, and simply apply a "Light Panel" to the object in order to illuminate it.)
