Thank you for purchasing the Beach Volleyball Set!

Description:
===============================================================================
The Beach Volleyball Set is a 7-piece prop set replicating a complete outdoor 
beach volleyball court. The set comes with a sand volleyball court with net and
boundary marker. The set also comes with a sand ground plane, barrier prop and
two different bleachers models - metal & wood. Lastly, the set comes with a
highly detailed volley ball model and a 'waterscape' background prop.

The Beach Volleyball Set also includes three different PZ3 files that will load 
in the court with wooden bleachers (BeachVBall_01.pz3), metal bleachers 
(BeachVBall_02.pz3) and BeachVBall_03.pz3 loads in the set with the background 
prop. Just add your characters and you are ready to go.

You will need Poser 5 (or higher) to use this set.

The Beach Volleyball Set comes with everything you need to set some very dynamic
outdoor beach volleyball scenes including: 

!VB Background
!VB Court
!VB Grounds
Barrier
Bleachers Metal
Bleachers Wood
Volley Ball

Everything comes as Poser ready props (PP2) that can be loaded from the content 
palette under the Props section. 

The Beach Volleyball Set also comes with all of the texture templates to allow 
you to give the props a custom look of your own design.

Notes:
=============================================================================
Poser Versions:
=======================
The Beach Volleyball Set props have been tested to work in Poser versions 5 and 
higher. They should work in earlier versions of Poser and/or Daz Studio but they 
are not supported running in versions of Poser lower than P5.

Background Prop:
=======================
The Background.PP2 prop is set to not cast shadows but shadows can be cast upon
it so you should be careful about where you place it and where your shadows are 
placed.

Set up your scene and then reposition (rotate and/or translate) the !Background 
prop to where it makes sense for your scene. Sometimes you will have to y-trans
the !Background prop up or down to get a better horizon to more closely match 
your camera angle.

Lighting:
=======================
The lighting rig use 4 lights with only light (Main) having the ability to 
create shadows and the other three providing fill and accent lighting. This 
lighting preset is provided to give a general illumination of this set. 
It should be adequate for most scenes but I highly recommend adjusting it
for any specific scenes you may create if you choose to use it.

=============================================================================

The Beach VolleyBall Set props should already be appropriately scaled for a Daz
Milennium character. Some adjustments may be necessary to account for different 
body morphs.

If you have any difficulties with the installation or use of these figures and
props, please email me with a description of your problem and I will respond
promptly.

Happy Rendering !!!!
