The K Cigarette and it's accessories:



Little props for those of us who still smoke, or at least want to render scenes with people smoking...
(Yes I know - smoking kills, and yadda yadda)

As most of my props they have some options and morphs (like unlit/lit/burning down).

The cigarette tip was added later to be used in a 1920's scene (think "The Great Gatsby"). It has no extra functions.

There's also a "smart" smoke column which parents to the cigarette.


Both the cigarette and the cigarette tip come in exact real world scale (e.g. the cigarette is 84 millimetres long)
They can be loaded either as independent, unparented props or as smartprops which automatically parent to the RIGHT hand's index finger, or to each other (like -->cigarette to tip).

If you want to move the cigarette to the other hand use the included "3.1. Prop Swap Hands" script. It's in the >Smart Props >EXTRA folder.

I've included two hand poses and two full body poses for SASHA-16, for inspirational purposes.
All poses should work on other figures too, with slight adjustments.



Here's a short overview of how to use the props:


Cigarette and Cigarette Tip ("dumb" props):

Just load them into the scene. They will both spawn at the centre, about 1.70 metres above ground (about where a figure's mouth is).
Pose and parent as needed.


Cigarette and Cigarette Tip ("smart" props):

You need a human figure in the scene which has a "rIndex" finger part.
The cigarette (or the cigarette tip, whichever you click first) will parent to that finger.
If you loaded the cigarette tip first AND THEN load the cigarette it will smartparent to the cigarette tip.
--> The library thumbnails will help you loading them in the right order!


Smoke Column:

Just for fun: Usually I add smoke in postwork.
If you want to render it, here's how:

  1. Make sure that a cigarette ("smart" or "dumb" proped) is in the scene.
  2. Open the "EXTRA" subfolder and add the "650 Earth Gravity Prop" to your scene BEFORE PROCEEDING.
  3. Now add the "Smake Column" prop!
    It will smartparent to the tip of the cigarette AND always point upwards no matter how you move, twist or turn the cigarette.
    You can adjust the length of the smoke column with the "HEIGHT" dial

    If you want to get rid of the "POINT UPWARDS" feature in order to pose the smoke yourself, set the dial to zero.
    Now use the "Rotate < FRONT - BACK >" and "ORBIT" dials to position your smoke column as you need.


Works in Poser 8 and newer.
