-------------------- INTRODUCTION --------------------------

A place to contemplate is oval underground structure with 
opening in the ceiling. In the middle is pool, and on the 
walls are mosaic pictures making this building some kind of 
gallery. Base structure is separated in several props, to 
avoid camera obstructions. With decorative props You can 
make many variations in appearance. Pictures on the walls 
are also manageable and with a little help of my tutorial 
and Photoshop template (included in pack) You can even 
completely change them with Your own. In addition, I 
included 6 simple light sets with basic light sources 
(spotlights and infinite lights), compatible with Poser 5.

------------------- INSTALATION ---------------------------

POSER 5 and above users:

Unpack .zip into Your Poser folder.
If You're using Daz Studio, unpack zipped file into custom 
directory and IMPORT props into DAZ Studio.

target folder for textures is:
Runtime\textures\A Place to Contemplate

-------------------------- LIMITATIONS --------------------

If You import .pp2 props into DAZ Studio  You'll get all 
textures in place with proper mapping. To get all other 
parameters (bump maping, specular maping, ambient,opacity),
You'll need to place textures manually:

SPECULAR textures 
- under glossiness, color and strength put corresponding
 .jpg file with extension _s leave other parameters as they are.

BUMP textures 
- _b.jpg texture is already loaded but parameters aren't 
right: strength should be around 80-100. Positive from 
0.5 to 2 (depending on surface roughness)

AMBIENT texture - if there's lit objects on scene 
(like lanterns) I use ambient texture to light that part.
_i.jpg file should be placed under strength parameter. 
Color can stay as it is.

OPACITY texture - use _o.jpg map to define which part of 
surface is transparent and how much and should be placed
under strength parameter.

REFLECTION texture - use _r.jpg map to define which part of 
surface reflect already loaded texture and should be placed
under reflection strength.


Props are created in Poser 5, so maybe You'll need to tweak
some parameters (bump and opacity) in newer versions, but
even without that You'll get impressive results.
