Product description: Nothing says summer like riding an inner tube down a lazy river. The Tubing prop model set will enable you to relive these summer moments using five different models of a body of water and a tube riding on it. Each model is a result of a 3D fluid simulation using real-world properties. The models are based on a typical ‘inner tube’ going forward in a curved path while creating small waves, bubbles, foamy water and spray. The models contain no texture or other ‘tricks’ to represent the water, just plain geometry and a lot of it. The geometry pushes DAZ Studio to its limits because each bubble, foam and spray particle is modelled using spheres with simplified geometry. If you need a scene with a larger body of water, please check out my other products. You can combine those with the props in this set to create as large of a body of water as you wish.  The five Tubing models contain a body of water with bubbles, foam and spray, and an ‘inner tube’ and a pose for the Genesis 8 female character, one for each model prop.

I hope these new prop models will add a splash of fun to your scenes. 
Happy rendering!

System requirements: PC and DAZ Studio 4.15 and newer

Needed files: No other files/products needed.

Installation instructions: Unzip the downloaded product zip file(s) into your data, Documentation, Props and Runtime directory/folder, as applicable.

Usage tips/limitations: The Tubing prop models of the body of water are envisioned to represent a 3D volume liquid material, thus there are no texture maps supplied. By default, DAZ Studio’s water Iray shaders were applied to these models. Feel free to change the water’s Transmitted Color surface parameter to go from the dark grey blues of a stormy sea to the light crystal blues of tropical waters. Similarly, experiment with the material properties of the bubbles, foam and spray to create a unique look that matches your vision. The model of the ‘inner tube’ is UV mapped with Iray shaders applied that are representative of rubber and vinyl.

Complete list of morphs: Not applicable.
