Velvet Ropes Freebie

Slosh

I made this velvet rope set for use in a recent image and would now like to share it with all of you. The ropes and posts come with a few material options, including brass, silver, chrome, and gold, plus red or blue velvet (other colors are easily made in surfaces tab).

Also included are pose presets which will move additional posts the correct distance away from each other so that the ropes fit between them. The ropes have pose presets that determine if they swing left, right, forward or back to connect with other posts.

There is a preload set that is a post with a rope attached, but separate post and rope props are available to end your rows with. To add additional ropes, just be sure to have the post selected in your scene, then the rope will parent to the post automatically. Then, select the rope and either use the preset poses to rotate them around the post, or use your Y-Rotate parameter slider.

Have fun with this, and if you care to, share a render in this thread so I can see how you are using them.

PS: Metadata is included, so be sure to "Re-Import Metadata" after you add it to your content directory.

Thank you for sharing the fruits of your talent! A very nice freebie indeed!

Edit: The supplied poses are brilliant!

The poses were made possible by help from adamr001. He provided me with the code necessary for the incremental moves. Thanks, Adam! Thanks also to Jaderail for offering to help and would have if Adam hadn't gotten to it first.

A nice addition and one of those very useful items for certain scenes.

Thnx for the effort and your generosity.

I don't suppose anybody knows whether these are still available now that ShareCG has gone?

Slosh passed away last year, so likely not.

Elor

Slosh passed away before ShareCG was shut down and I don't know if he shared it elsewere.

As for sharing it myself, the readme included is ending on that sentence:

Have fun with this, and use it any way you want, just do not redistribute as your own.

I don't know if the 'use it any way you want' part of the sentence allows redistributing while crediting Slosh as the creator of if taken as a whole, any kind of redistribution is forbidden.

Maybe a moderator can chime in.

"do not redistribute as your own" does seem to allow redistributing it with the correct attribution, soi we probably would allow posting a link.

That would be fantastic!!  

Sharecg shutting down was a very sad day!!

Elor

I attached the archive (it'll have a gibberish name, once downloaded, but you can name it back to 'VelvetRopes.zip')  as downloaded from Slosh ShareCG account, untouched and unmodified. I just checked the content in Daz Studio and everything should work fine.

By downloading it, you'll get access to Slosh's Velvet Ropes as he shared it back in 2013.

As he said eloquently in the readme, ’Have fun with this, and use it any way you want, just do not redistribute as your own’.

If you want to thank someone, thank him.
