************************************************************************


In this course we will learn to:
	- model a cage object that may be used in games;
	- dealing with UV mapping;
	- create textures in Gimp;
	- export objects to OBJ format;
	- render the objects we created in Daz Studio.

The complete package includes:
	- 21 videos in the MP4 format, containing 1 hours and 17 minutes of content relevant to anyone who is starting to model objects for use in games, but is also possible to use either in Poser or Daz Studio.
	- Copies of the objects created during the course, as well as the UV maps of each of them, and it's textures.

System Requirements:
Linux, PC or Mac compatible

Ownership Statement:
All of this product's content was created by MGDegenhardt

Needed Software:

To complete the course you will need a modeler - I suggest Wings 3d, as it will be the main modeling tool - image editors - I suggest the use of Gimp, because all the textures will be elaborated in it, and Daz Studio - it's were we will see the final objects rendered.
A video player compatible with MP4. My personal suggestion is VLC Media Player. 

*******************************************

Installation Instructions:

First of all, create a folder called Cage then unzip all the files inside it.
Open the videos in your video player to follow the instructions and steps of modeling, texturizing and rendering..
