PLEASE READ THE WHOLE README FOR PRECISE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT!!!

This product brings you a collection of Glass props for Poser 9 and above and any program that can read OBJ files.

Included are a wide range of props, from typical everyday Drinking glasses, to cups and bottles and chemistry flasks and vials for potions, dessert cups, etc. Also included are dozens of materials for different kinds of glass and liquids, all using physically correct refractions and reflections for the best and most realistic looking glass achievable in poser.

Provided is also a "Reflection Sphere" to aid you in the reflect/refract area. Glass is never going to look like glass unless it has something to refract and reflect, thus this sphere can make the difference between dull, plastic looking crystal and beautiful realistic looking glass.

There is a wide range of materials for glass which range from crystal clear to frosted or smoked and colored glass, so depending on the complexity of the material, render times may vary.

In order for the glass materials to look right you must have raytracing enabled with AT LEAST 4 bounces, so make sure your render setup is correct or you will get black looking glass instead of crystal clear.

Usage Tips or Limitations:

Go to "Props/Exnem/Glass Ensemble" folder and select your desired model from one of the folders.

Click on the Checkmark to add it to the world. As these are props they will render black or with strange artifacts if you don't have a figure loaded also. If this is the case for you simply load any figure (even a flat plane for the floor will work).

Choose your Glass and Liquid materials from the Material room inside "Exnem/Glass Ensemble"

If you want to use it as a prop for your character make sure to parent it to a bone on your character (hand for example).

IMPORTANT!!!!
Make sure you have raytracing enabled and raytrace bounces set to 4 or more.

Have at least a couple of lights for specular highlights.
