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.

BACKGROUND

I made this for use with another model I hope to release soon.


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.

Both versions are UV mapped.

The Daz Studio version has sub-d applied by default. You can set it to Base for most shots where the camera is at a typical distance away.

The Daz Studio version has a morph to spread open the spring. The morph is in the "Parameters" tab.

The .obj version does not have this morph built in. But I include the morph target file so you set up the morph in other programs. That file is called "Open, X01.obj"


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.

LICENSING / PERMISSIONS

Please feed my ego by crediting me when you publish pictures featuring my models.

In fact, my condition for commercial renders or subsumed redistribution is that I be notified of its use so I can brag about it.

Feel free to improve this model's geometry, but still credit me as the originator.
