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

This V1 release is meant to be a "beta" release. Help me improve future releases by sending me critiques and requests for features.


BACKGROUND

I made this bench to to go with the Observation Deck model I made earlier. Observe the similarity in shape between the bench and the observation deck.

The bench is also partly inspired by the equilateral triangular benches in San Francisco's De Young museum. Appropriately, when I was making the Observation Deck model, my mind often went into memories of the De Young museum's observation tower when I did test renders inside the Observation Deck.


SHORTCOMINGS

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


VERSIONS AND FEATURES

This V1 release download includes the model in DAZ Studio format and .obj format.

The Daz Studio version comes with a few materials presets that use shaders from Daz Studio's default resources, as they stood in DS version 4.11.

The .obj version has no materials applied, of course. You need to apply your own shaders/materials to it.


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 "Content" folder.
3. MERGE, rather than just copy, the two folders "data" and "Props" 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.
