Note: If I revise this model set 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

On a whim I adapted Fabio Cavinato's Blender-made table model for use in Daz Studio and any application using .obj format.

Link to Fabio's Blender version is in the readme file, placed here instead of this sentence.


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.


DAZ STUDIO RESOLUTION

These items load into Daz Studio in Base Resolution mode.


DAZ STUDIO IRAY MATERIALS

Daz version uses iRay shaders from the Daz Studio default resources collection.

There is a preset to restore the default materials to the model.


OBJ LABELING

Unlike the Daz Studio version, the .obj version does not have the "V1" suffix on the model name. Instead, it has X03, and is called "Table, Utility, Fabio Cavinato, Black Hole, X03.obj"


OBJ MATERIALS

No material maps are provided for the .obj version. You'll need to find satisfactory shaders or material maps for marble, metal, and glass in you application. The material zones are labeled sensically, in English.


OBJ MESH ADJUSTMENTS

Obj version includes the morph target for adjusting the thickness of the glass plank. The .obj file separates the vertex group for the base from the vertex group for the plank, so you can rig the plank to move around.


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" 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.


INSTALLING THE DAZ STUDIO FORMATTED VERSION on a MACINTOSH 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" 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 "A folder named XXXX already exists in this location. …" window pops up, click on the "Merge" button.

The location of your DAZ 3D Library is likely to be: Users\Shared\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 it's use so I can brag about it.

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

Fabio Cavinato's original Blender version of this model has the CC0 license. My adaptation of it thus also carries that CC0 license. Derivatives you make are likely also subject to the CC0 license. You cannot repackage this and sell it.


NO WARRANTY ON PRODUCT

Luqu Trnr is not liable for any damage or incident involving the use of this model.
