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I originally made this chair for my scalawagon car model. The back of the chair has a low height to preserve the big window esthetic of the scalawagon car.

Ya can download that scalawagon car at the link in the readme file.

I also plan to include this chair in the proposed release of my Qyixor MEVTOL ship.


SHORTCOMINGS

This 3D model ain’t perfect. It’s 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.

Of course, only the DAZ Studio version has slider controls to move the parts. The .obj format version has the vertex groups divided into parts so you can rig it in other programs.

It loads into Daz Studio in High Resolution mode. You can set it to Base instead to reduce computer strain.


FEATURES

Moving parts:_____________________________Controller node in the "Properties" tab of the Chair:

Seat armrests extend and retract_______________ArmRest, [Left or Right]
Seat shoulder rests extend and retract___________ShoulderRest
Seat head rests extend and retract______________HeadRest
Seat leg rests extend and retract_______________LegRest


MATERIALS

Unfortunately, I only offer this chair in green for now. I will likely make color presets for it when (and if) I release my Qyixor MEVTOL ship that will use this chair.

The chair is UV mapped, but not in a way for the optimal meeting of texture image patterns at the seams.


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 three folders “data" “Props" and “Runtime" 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.
