--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "BAY BOAT WITH PIER", by FORESTER All copyrights to this product reserved by FORESTER - August 2018 Ownership statement: All of the content in this package was created by Forester ================================================================ This is a traditional boat design developed in France for use in shallow bays and lakes. The boat was/is used for fishing and transport of small items. It is a light-weight boat, rowed or sculled by a single person, although it easily seats two people. The boat is distinctive in that it has a relatively flat bottom with a flat, large wooden keel. This type of keel, and the flat bottom of the boat allows it to be beached on rock or sand without injuring the boat bottom. A bundle of traditionally painted fishing floats, characteristic of the lake fishing in the area extending north east from France to Finland are included. A hand line cradle and line are also included. The small, brightly colored floats are for catching many small fish at one time, usually each float with a relatively short hanging line, hook and bait. Many floats are tied together, but with a meter or more distance kept between them - with a small line passed through the brass eye at the top of the float. All the baited floats are thrown into an area of the lake at one time, and then recovered later, hopefully with caught fish attached. Of course, these small floats are used in many other ways, as well. Sometimes to hold up the edges of small, light-weight fishing nets, and sometimes attached to conventional fishing lines on poles. The dangling bow and stern lines can be removed, as can the bumpers on each side of the boat. While no pier is really needed for this kind of boat, one is included here. This is an old weathered pier that should sit low in the water, and extend just a short distance from shore. Point lights are pre-positioned in the two lanterns. You may want to build additional boats, since many would be found clustered around the pier. For the purpose of duplicating, and then making boats with different paint, there are eight (8) alternative textures for the boat hulls. Use the Material Editor to locate the boat paint on the hull, and then replace the "mapped image" with one of the optional textures included in the package. You then can change the keel color to match the lower paint color of the hull. An old, slightly battered steel green thermous is included. (This is included simply because it has become the "signature" item of 3D model-builders of traditional small boats lately. I count myself among this community, so I built and added the green thermous here.) INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE: * French Bay Boat * Bow Line Hanging * Stern Line Hanging * Oars * Green Steel Thermous With Cup Lid * Bumpers for port and starboard sides of the boat * Hand Line Wrapped On Hand Line Cradle * Bundle Of Fishing Floats (can be ungrouped) * Individual Fishing Floats * Old Weathered Low Pier With Lanterns and Pre-positioned point lights * Optional Recommended Beach Terrain Shape ("Beach.vob") * Eight optional painting textures for making additional boats REQUIREMENTS: Vue Version 9 or later. All the materials and objects for the French Bay Boat and the Old Pier are included within a single *.vob file. "Load" or "Import" the *.vob file into Vue. If the files load below the ground plane, lift the *.vob file, then, select "Edit" from the top line menu, and select the "Drop Objects" option to place the objects in the file on the Floor. USAGE AND TIPS: The old pier is a low pier for shallow waters. There is an optional "Beach.vob" - a terrain shape that demonstrates the general shape a beach terrain should have for a lake or shallow bay setting. You can use this as a guide in making a Vue Terrain, or you can use this shape, building a more complex terrain around it.
