Thank you for purchasing this product!

Have you ever tried to use a simple primitive like Poser's Hi-res Sphere to render a planet only to have your renders turn out so badly that you find yourself making haste to the 2D sections of your favorite broker, seller, or vendor? It's because the best textures are in a 2:1 (eg. 4096X2048) ratio where Poser and Daz Studio work best using textures at a 1:1 (4096X4096) ratio. Yep, ugly stretched craters was the best Poser and Daz Studio users were going to get ... until now.

Look no further! Textures are no problem for this model. UV mapped to accomodate the wealth of 2:1 textures available from the likes of NASA, content providers, and enthusiasts across the web, a simple search will begin to yeild a galaxy of planets to keep you busy for a long time. Mix and match, adjust, and create shaders to create an impressive catalogue of ringed planets! This product was designed to help Poser and Daz Studio users get the most of what the 3D world has to offer.

Planet Z is a Poser/Daz Studio ready ringed planet model suitable for all your space rendering needs. This model features 5 independent rings that can be made invisible or easily textured and trans mapped. Additionally, the rings are master dialed to rotate along the poles with the fulcrum at the equator. This means that you wont be stuch with a single look. Rather, you can rotate the rings from the master dial and achieve the look you want with greater versitility and precision. Planet Z includes 41 ring textures and 5 ring trans maps for you to mix and match.

System Requirements - Poser 5+, Daz Studio 3+, and similar compatible products able to use Poser 5+ figures.
