Ok, here's what's been done so far.
Created a model in Wings 3d. UVMapped, applied texture, 'poserized' it (slight bevel to sharp edges to keep them in Poser).
Imported it into Poser. Scaled it for Don (he was just sitting there...;), and actually parented (my first...;) it to the left hand (nobody's perfect, I'm a lefty). Saved it as a prop.
So I have a Prop, parented, saved to one directory, and textures for another. It looks...uh...well, it's a first effort..;)
Now, having done that;
I created a 'runtime' directory on C:, and Geometries, Textures, and Libraries/Props folders, each with a 'Pakled!!' folder (my joke about all those !!!Whatever directories...;)
The pp2 and png are in props, obj and mtl in Geometries, and textures in textures. A readme
is in the Runtime Directory itself. Has my handle, where I hang out, and what (pretty much no) rules to follow.
Zipped the 'Runtime' Directory into one file. Created a ShareCG account (boy is that sobering...you'll never get rich that way...;) and am ready to upload.
Now all the files are where they 'should' be, but since the prop was created in other directories, will the thing work? How do you have the prop point to the 'correct' folders? Do I need to hack and create a cr2 file? or is this something I can correct inside Poser?
BTW...I looked in the Freebies forum a bit, but didn't see a sticky on how to make actual freebies...mebbe they should have one...;) And if anyone wants it, I'll post it as soon as I have the answer...;)
just stuck it up in the gallery, if ya wanna look. Scathing criticisms and helfpul advice appreciated...;)
