Thank you for purchasing ImageNation's Woodland Stream Prop Set. All of this product's content was created by George Lippert and ImageNation ©2008 NOTE: The IN Woodland Stream Propset has been designed to render on most systems, utilizing carefully optimized geometries and textures. If used in its entirety, however, the complete scene is a very rich environment that will require a generous rendertime. To optimize your rendering budget, try some of the following hints: -- When using the raytraced reflective stream, turn off reflection visibility for uneccessary scene objects, such as trees, character elements, bushes, etc. -- Only use scene elements which are necessary. The Woodland Stream propset was built in a modular fashion, which means you may only require the treeline on one side, or no bushes at all. Use only the elements necessary for your particular scene. -- Consider compositing. Compositing your scene means establishing your camera position, then rendering single elements at a time and assembling them in a photo editor, such as Photoshop. FOr instance, you may choose to render a tree layer, a bank and stream layer, and a character layer, then layer all the elements together in Photoshop. For a detailed tutorial on professional compositing, you might look into the original IN Woodlands propset, which works quite well with the Woodland Stream as well.

Open Poser, go to the "Props" category and locate the "IN Woodland Stream" folder. Inside, you will find individual props for the north and south stream banks, tree and bush elements, three panoramic backgrounds, two stream options (raytrace reflections and non-raytrace), and a sunbeam prop. Rotate the sunbeam prop to suit your scene's lighting situation. Special lightsets for the Woodland Stream can be found in the "Lights-->Woodland Stream" folder. These are designed to match the three panoramic backgrounds, thus, if you are using the night panorama, you can choose to use the "night" lightset to complete the scene. Preset camera settings can be found in the "Camera--> Woodland Stream" folder. Use the ImageNation Woodland Stream anywhere you like in either your personal or professional projects, and enjoy!
