 Not exactly what I planned on next, but a fun item.
 
 This is a hand sanitizer/soap dispenser.  One of the regulars on the Daz forums was in need of one and couldn't find one, so I looked and darned if he wasn't correct...there aren't many around or if there are, they aren't easy to find.  I imagine there should be some on sites specializing in architectural models.
 
 This one is loosely based on a nice looking unit by Sloan...a standard name in washroom fixtures. 
 
 It's a pretty much, what you see is what you get model. 
 
 Also, there is a mirror included.  I made the simple mirror because when I was setting up to do the promo renders, things looked a little barren.  My daughter said that it needed a mirror to go over the sink I grabbed to liven up the shot...
 
 As an added bonus, there is a Geometries folder that has not only the raw obj for the unit and the mirror, but also the blend file for the dispenser unit.  For those that don't know, that's Blender's native scene file format.
 
 The dispenser is sized to be aprroximately the same size as the real unit it's based on.  There is a 'hand wash' label set to smart parent to the unit.  The UV template is in the Textures folder with label texture.
 
 There are no fancy materials set up, but things are UV mapped (no, only the label is included).  For all the promo shots, I used Decan's Paint Shop Studio shader presets.

 He has some nice chrome and others in there...they are based on Omnifreaker's UberSurface and use raytraced reflections.
 
 The wall and floor tiles are from Yughughes.
 
 The other items are not included.
 
 As usual, my items are usable for commercial and non-commercial use, but redistribution is expressly forbidden...if you do you'll get warts in places you don't really ever want to get warts.  I'm serious...the warts aren't pretty, so just don't do it. « Less
