*****README FOR THE 1950's TV***** What it is: ------------ This is a 1950's-style Television, loosely patterned after a few models of Zenith TV's that were available later in the decade. Textures include test patterns, snow screens, and a blank screen template you can use to make your own screens. If you do not adjust the size of the template when you use it, the resulting image will have the same resolution as a real TV image. Note: The TV is about 4 meg or so, because the numbers on the channel dials are actually modeled, rather than textured. In experimenting with making the TV, I discovered that if you want to do an extreme close-up of a hand reaching for the dial, you need about a 4 meg texture for it to come out crystal clear every time, because they are actually pretty small. So, I just said "to hell with it" and modeled the numbers as part of the dials. Additional Note: This style of TV was common through into the early 1980's. It did not need an external antenna, because it had an internal antenna. If you needed better reception, you usually connected it to a 'mast' antenna on the roof of your house using ladder wire (or, for apartment dwellers, a set of rabbit ears). Also included is a 1950's-style set of rabbit-ears, smart-propped to the 1950's TV. The base was made of cast iron so it wouldn't flip over, while the ball and the antenna tips were made of bakelite. Four morphs are included, two for each antenna - one retracts the antenna, while the other lowers it. IMPORTANT NOTE: This item REQUIRES Poser 5 or higher, because it makes use of the poser 'noise' Material Node as part of the procedural textures used on the model. If you try to use this in earlier versions of Poser or in DAZ Studio it won't work, you'll have to re-texture the whole thing, you'll be screaming and cursing and crying and tearing your hair out, it'll be a horrible experience that will likely leave lasting mental scars. To spare you that kind of trauma, I'm warning you now - this item REQUIRES Poser 5 or higher, because it makes use of Procedural Material Nodes. What you can do with it: ------------------------ 1) You're free to use this model in any render, non-commericial or commercial. 2) You may not sell the model itself, either individually or as part of a compilation. 3) If you re-post this model on your website or as part of a free compilation, the archive must include this readme file. How to use it: -------------- See the included readme in the zip file for full info.
