With 'Book of Beasts' I continue the series of old books started with Practickal Magick, Volume I-V . This new set is also created with the Poser fantasy artist in mind, aiming to offer books that will not only look good on the shelves in your virtual library but also will evoke a sense of knowledge and scholarship of old times. In 'Book of Beasts' you will find 5 books (all books share the same geometry) with 5 different textures, all conveniently packed as Poser 6 props. The title 'Book of Beasts' is found on all 5 books but each texture also has a unique subtitle - 'Dragons', 'Centaurs', 'Minotaurs', 'Hippogriffs' and 'Unicorns'. You can add the books to your Poser scene 1 by 1 or all 5 at once as a stack. The textures in this series are all 1024 x 1024 and based on real books in my possession (although I have edited them quite extensively) and should be suitable for most renders except very extreme close-ups. Each color map comes with a corresponding bump map (Poser 4 users need to convert these before loading). The book is modeled with CINEMA 4D R9 and exported as Wavefront *.obj using the Riptide plugin. The book is completely UV-mapped with BodyPaint 3D R2 and comes with a UV-template so you can create your own textures. Although these books are for use with Poser you can easily adopt them for your favourite 3D application. The basic fileformat is *.obj which means that it's widely accepted in most 3D applications - simply import the *.obj file into your preferred 3D modelling application and re-assign the textures if necessary. You might have to scale the model once it's imported. 'Book of Beasts' contains: 1 obj 6 PP2's (5 separate books plus 1 book stack) 5 1024x1024 color textures 5 1024x1024 bump textures 1 1024x1024 UV-template
