Arrow, Rotation, V1 3D Model

A free 3D model by Luke Turner (AKA Luqu, Luqu Trnr, Lukon100, Volcanoface, Doubt45, Illuwuz).

Note: If I revise this model and re-issue it, I will increment the "V1" to "V2" and so on.

Morphin' 3D rotation arrow.

For other free 3D arrows in .obj format, consider the collection by SpaceBones. Link in the readme.

SHORTCOMINGS

This 3D model ain't perfect. Its construction reflects my current beginner's skill level with Blender. But it looks ok from a typical distance, I think.

VERSIONS AND FEATURES

This model has a Daz Studio version and an .obj version.

The Daz Studio version has morphs in the Parameters tab.

The Daz Studio version loads into at high resolution level 2. You can put it in base resolution as you please.

The .obj version does not have these morphs, of course.
But I do include the morph "target" files in case you want to set up the morphs in other programs.


MATERIALS

The model has separate material zones for the head and the spine of the arrow. Apply you own shaders to these as desired.


INSTALLING THE DAZ STUDIO FORMATTED VERSION on a WINDOWS computer

The usual procedure. If you don't yet know the usual procedure, here's my version of it that should work fine:

1. Unzip the download to some temporary folder, or some folder you have for just this sort of thing.
2. In the resulting unzipped folder structure, open the "Daz Studio Content" folder.
3. MERGE, rather than just copy, the folders inside the "Daz Studio Content" folder to your DAZ 3D Library.
Merging is an option you can pick when trying to copy. So start by simply trying to copy.
BUT… when the "Confirm Folder Replace" window pops up,
click on the "More…" word in the lower left corner to bring up the window that gives you the option to merge.
4. Click the "Yes" button.

The location of your DAZ 3D Library is likely to be: C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library

…given a standard DAZ Studio installation.
