Basically a Poser figure containing four stacked books, each of which can be independently swapped, morphed and adjusted (within limits).

Figures can be stacked one on top of another to create larger stacks.

Stacks of 4, 8, 12, ... 60, 64 books are included, along with a 128 and a 256 book stack .

Since manually adjusting each book in a large stack is impractical there are PoserPython helper scripts to randomize, reset, and change textures. These scripts can be accessed directly from proxy CR2s alongside the stacks.

*** WARNING: DON'T USE POSER'S BUILT-IN 'DELETE FIGURE' WITH THE 'DELETE ATTACHED' OPTION CHECKED FOR STACKS LARGER THAN 40 BOOKS AS THE DELETION TIME IS HUGE AND POSER WILL EFFECTIVELY LOCK UP FOR HOURS. USE THE INCLUDED 'DELETE LINKED' SCRIPT WHICH ONLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS EVEN FOR HUGE STACKS ***

Created in Poser Pro 2014. Tested on a Windows 10 PC in Poser 6 and Poser Pro 2014.


The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.

*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).
