Monorail Station #2 for Poser 5 and above

Copyright Ownership belongs to RPublishing.  
This product was originally acquired through VanishingPoint.

This zip file contains: ONE (1) Monorail Station #2 model (figure), ONE (1) Trash Can #2 model (figure), ONE (1) Bench #2 model (prop), ONE (1) Kiosk model (prop), ONE (1) Tree Topiary #1 model (prop), ONE (1) Tree Topiary #2 model (prop), ONE (1) Sign #2 model (prop), THREE (3) "Monorail Up" poses, textures for the models, and ONE (1) scene file.

Note: This product is meant for use with the Monorail model, available for sale separately. However, the Monorail is NOT required to use this product.

Note 2: This product is not meant for use in Poser 4 or Poser Pro Pack. Although the model may load in POser 4 (and you will get a "Newer version than expected" error), *NONE* of the advanced texturing features will work: you will not be able to see the blades of grass nor the bumpiness in the concrete nor the reflections in the metal nor the brownish ground color.

Directions:
Extract the files into the specified folders:
Put the pz3 (scene file) into any folder of your choice.
Put the obj files into Runtime\Geometries\VP
Put the cm2/ rsr/ png (camera files) into Runtime\Libraries\camera\VP-MonorailStation2
Put the cr2/ rsr/ png (figure files) into Runtime\Libraries\Character\vp
Put the pp2/ rsr/ png (prop files) into Runtime\Libraries\Props\VP-MonorailStation
Put the pz2/ rsr/ png (pose files) into Runtime\Libraries\Pose\VP
Put the jpg files (textures) into Runtime\Textures\VP\monorailstation

The mpi files are "figure definition files" for use with my MAT Pose Creator (available at the Marketplace). Open the program, go to File > Import, select this file, and you can easily create your own MAT poses.

Using the Monorail Station #2:
It is recommended that you use the scene file rather than building the scene yourself. This file contains the Monorail Station, signs, trash cans, kiosks, and benches in their proper places as well as camera settings, light settings, and render settings (both FireFly and P4).
To use:
1) Start Poser.
2) Go to File > Open.
3) Find the "MonorailStation2.pz3" file and click Open.
You may get a message saying "The requested window size is too big." This is fine: click OK and Poser will resize the window automatically.

If you would like to use the pieces separately (or add more signs, benches, kiosks, or trash cans), they will be installed in the following folders:
Monorail Station and Trash Can (figures): Figures > VP
Bench and Sign (props): Props > VP-MonorailStation

Make sure you render the scene with the "Use Displacement Maps" option CHECKED.
For best results, set the Raytrace Bounces option to 4- this will make the metal surfaces reflective.

Notes:
1) The Monorail Station will seem very big and will fill the scene. This is normal- it is scaled so Poser figures can walk around the station... and is scaled to fit the Monorail within the station.
2) You do not need to "Drop to Ground"- the Monorail Station is already on the ground.
3) The Monorail Station includes two "ground" materials: a brownish "Ground" material and a grass-covered "Grass" material. You do not need to use Poser's Ground Plane, however, if you enlarge Poser's Ground Plane, you can eliminate some of the white space around the station. You may want to apply the same texture as the ground and uncheck "shodwcast only"
4) Camera files have been included to help you explore the Monorail Station. These will be installed in the Camera > VP-MonorailStation2 Library. Please note that some of the camera angles may not be the best (they may be too far or too close)- these are meant to help get you started. Feel free to adjust the camera to suit your taste.
5) Please note some textures (such as those on the grass, ground, concrete, and metal) may look "flat" in Preview mode- this is normal. Preview mode does not display any textures created by Poser's procedural node, which includes displacement maps and ray-traced reflections. Rest assured that these effects will become apparent when you render the scene.

Optional:
When you add the Monorail (train) to the scene, it will be loaded directly beneath the Monorail Station's track. This is normal: simply use the included "MonorailUp" pose to move the Monorail into the correct position.
(Note: this pose affects the BODY part, so it can be applied to other figures to move them up as well. Though be sure to check the figure- the value applied to the Monorail may not be same for other figures.)
