Product Description: -------------------------------------------------------- SFS-MCS is the acronym for Sci-Fi Sets - Modular Construction System, a set of figures that will allow you to build your Sci Fi style scenes. The Concept: Modules that can be used as walls, floors, ceilings... The Modules are composed by a Support on which Frames are fixed. Frames can be empty, or can host Panels of various kind, as simple Panels or Grate Panels or 'DLW' Panels. Other 'inner' figures are available as Window Modules, Tunnel Modules, Niche Modules 'DLW' Modules can be used as Touch Screens Displays Panels, Light Panels or Windowed Panels. The 'Modules' has been made with exact Poser Native Units dimensions for an easy displacement. '1x' ('x1') is equivalent to 0.16pnu* '2x' ('x2') is equivalent to 0.32pnu '3x' ('x3') is equivalent to 0.48pnu '4x' ('x4') is equivalent to 0.64pnu. The thickness of 'Plane' Modules is 0.04pnu. The height of '90°' Curved Modules (as example) is 0.16pnu. For '270°' Curved Modules (as example) the height is (0.16+0.04)pnu. (Almost) all Modules are available in dimensions from 1x (x1) to 4x (x4) Example: Plane 'Panel' Modules are available from '1x1' ((0.16x0.16x0.04)pnu) to '4x4' ((0.64x0.64x0.04)pnu). *pnu=Poser Native Units. All Modules have been made using Materials only, no textures have been applied.. Some textures are available to set a 'Screen' inside DLW Modules/Windows Modules as Touch Screen Displays, Lights or Windows (More info below). The Content: What is included in this Starter Kit (S00): - Figures: - 10 'Panel' Plane Modules, from 1x1 to 4x4 - 4+1+1 'Panel' 90° Curved Modules, from x1 to x4 + 2 'joints' (1 internal, 1 external) - 4+1+1 'Panel' 270° Curved Modules, from x1 to x4 + 2 'joints' (1 internal, 1 external) - 3 'DLW' (Display/Light/Window) Modules. These Modules can be set as Touch Screen Displays, Light Panels, Windowed Panels using the Pose Room (A texture will be applied on a inner 'Screen'). This Starter Kit includes textures just for set 1x3 Display, 2x3 Display, 4x4 Light Panel. More DLWs Modules and textures will be available in an expansion to come. - 1 2x3 'Window' Module, included Textures/Transparent Maps (1 horizontal and 1 vertical) 'Venetian Style' that can be set via the Pose Room. The Window Module can be set with different materials on the 2 sides. More Window Modules and textures will be available in an expansion to come. As accessories for the Window 2x3 Module are available with this Starter Kit: - 1 2x3 'Frame' Module - 1 2x3 'Tunnel' Module. This Module can be set with different materials on the 2 sides. - More Figures: - 1 Standard Door (Internal Part) - 1 Standard Door (External Part) - 1 Standard Door - Frame - 1 Standard Door - Tunnel figures are included, to set a 'Standard Door'. The 'Door Standard Internal' has 4 Frames and 4 Panels that can be set with different materials. The 'Door Standard External' and 'Door Standard Tunnel' can be set with different materials on the 2 sides. Modules to build custom doors will be available in an expansion to come. - 4+1+1 'Standard Walls' are included, from x1 to x4 + 1 90° 'Joint' and 1 270° 'Joint' These figures have 4 Frames and 4 Panels that can be set with different materials. - 10 'Standard Floor-Ceiling' figures are included, from 1x1 to 4x4. The Floor and Ceiling 2 Frames and 2 Panels can be set with different materials. - 'Pre Assembled Figures' - 1 Pre Assembled Door is included. The Figures are all parented with 1 of the 'Door Standard Frame' figures, via the Hierarchy Editor, to the only one body part of it. - 1 Pre Assembled Window is included. The Figures are all parented with the Panel 90° Curved Module on the bottom, via the Hierarchy Editor, to the only one body part of it. - 1 Pre Assembeld 1x3 Display. The Figures are all parented with the Panel 90° Curved Module on the bottom, via the Hierarchy Editor, to the only one body part of it. - 1 Pre Assembeld 2x3 Display. The Figures are all parented with the Panel 90° Curved Module on the bottom, via the Hierarchy Editor, to the only one body part of it. - 1 Pre Assembeld 4x4 Floor+Light Panel.

Notes about 2013 Version: - Modified figures Thumbs - Modified files to be compatible with Poser 5 and up. -------------------------------------------------------- 2. System Requirements: -------------------------------------------------------- Poser 5 and Up. DAZ Studio 3a and Up. This product has been created & tested in Poser 8.2. This product has been tested in DAZ Studio 3a. This product has been tested on PC only. -------------------------------------------------------- 3. Needed Files : -------------------------------------------------------- No other files are needed for this package. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4. Installation Instructions ------------------------------------------------------------ - For Poser, extract the files in your Poser directory (ex. c:\program files\Smith Micro\Poser8\ ). - For DAZ Studio, extract the files in your DAZ STudio content directory (ex. C:\Program Files\DAZ\Studio\content\ ). If necessary, new folders will be created and files will placed in the correct path. If promped, reply 'Yes' to overwrite existing files. -------------------------------------------------------- 5. Usage Tips/Limitations: -------------------------------------------------------- - DAZ Studio Users: For a better result, use Raytraced Shadows. - Its strongly recommended that if you want to use a custom wall (as example) several times - build it separately in an empty scene - select the module to the bottom, the 90° Curved Module for example - parent all the figures composing the custom wall using the Hierarchy Editor to the only 1 body part of the above Module. - save the custom wall in PreAssembled folder for ex. In this way, you will be able to place/move/rotate the whole custom wall selecting the module at the bottom. - Maybe the Sets will look too bigger compared with characters... If you can, try to set characters/dresses/etc. at 105%, for ex. - Remember to check 'Remove backfacing polys', in 'Render Settings'->'Firefly', to have see-through walls in renders. - Uncheck it to render Windows (and windowed panels). -------------------------------------------------------- 6.
