Madd Matt's Christmas Tree Prop for Poser Author'd by Madd Matt (Matthew Frizzell), ©2009 Thanks for purchasing my Christmas Tree Prop for Poser, may it bring a little more myrth to your holiday renders! System Requirements / Limitations: ------------------------------------ - Tested successfully in Poser 5, 6 & 7 on PC. Created in Poser 7. - This product should work in Poser 8, however I can't guarantee proper functionality in that version. - Not supported in Daz Studio. The dynamic hair function required for generating the tree's needles is not supported by D/S. Installation: ------------------------------------ Simply unzip the contents of the "mm_xmas_tree.zip" file into your main Poser directory. The Tree's prop files will be found in your "Props\Christmas Tree\" folder. Required Files: ------------------------------------ Aside from Poser version 5 or later, no other items or software are required to use this product. Christmas Tree Prop Notes: ------------------------------------ The "!Xmas_Tree_Trimmed" prop found in the "Props" folder loads the tree fully trimmed. The tree object itself is parented to the stand, so select the stand when you need to move the model around in your scene. This was done to better facilitate Poser's "drop figure to floor" function. The other props found in the folder (except for the stand) will smart-prop themselves to the tree model when loaded. Unfortunately, the standalone Tree model wouldn't smart- prop itself to the stand, so remember to parent it to the stand if loading the tree on it's own. A poseable figure for the ribbon is available in the "Figures/Christmas Tree" folder. There are two pose presets available for it in the "Pose/Ribbon_Figure" folder, along with MAT poses for the figure. The tree's needles don't appear in Poser's preview window, only the guide hairs will be visible there. All of the individual needles will appear properly when the prop is rendered. The tree's needles can be altered in Poser's "Hair Room". Make sure you consult you Poser Manual for details on the various functions of the Hair Room to help you get the effect you're looking for. If your renders wind up with the needles either orphaned from the branches or "melting" down the tree, try restarting Poser (without saving preferably). If this doesn't correct the problem: 1) In the Materials Room, copy the Needles' material settings. 2) Delete the "Needles" prop, then select the "Tree" prop. 3) Go to the Hair Room and hit the "Grow Guide Hairs" button. 3rd Party Addons: ------------------------------------ Anyone looking to make 3rd party ornament sets for this product has my okay, for both commercial and free distribution, just make sure to credit me in your product's documentation, and make sure you drop me a link to where the product is hosted. I always like to see how my creations are affecting the lives of others. Otherwise, the usual license limitations detailed in the accompanying "License.txt" still apply.
