Only tested in Poser Pro 2014. They should work fine in earlier versions (version number of each file is set to 4.01). Not tested in Daz Studio, but I've been told Poser expressions do work in Studio. -------------------------------------- Ownership Statement: -------------------------------------- All of the content in this package was created by tiggersprings. -------------------------------------- Needed Files: -------------------------------------- Ben 2 and Kate 2 (they come with Poser 7 or later). For information on changes to made to Ben 2 and Kate 2, this about the only information out there. http://forum.runtimedna.com/archive/index.php/t-25779.html The expressions do work on Ben 1 and Kate 1 with varying results. One of the light box promos will show some examples. ---------------------- OPTIONAL for hair fits ---------------------- Akaste Hair http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/akaste-hair/82615 Helios Hair http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/helios-hair/60691 Hermes Hair http://www.daz3d.com/hermes-hair -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: -------------------------------------- Run Winzip or another Zip-program and tell it to extract pack into your Poser Directory. All files will be placed as shown below from the package file listing. ------------------------------ Please Note ------------------------------ If you have acquired this package through any other site than Renderosity you have acquired it illegally. ------------------------------ -------------------------------------- Usage Notes and General Tips: -------------------------------------- 24 each expressions for Ben 2 and Kate 2 from the "Poser Family" of figures. As stated in the "Needed Files" section above, the expressions will work with varying results on Ben 1 and Kate 1 as well. Do note, however, that there were facial/head shape changes on the version 2 figures, so the results will differ. For more information on the differences, see this link: http://forum.runtimedna.com/archive/index.php/t-25779.html ------------------------------ Ben 2 Expressions Information ------------------------------ There aren't many third-party morphs out there for the "Poser Family" kids, Ben 2 and Kate 2, so it makes it difficult to test for all contingencies for posisble problems. The expressions were tested on Cyllan's Taelin morph (from Content Paradise) and did not affect the morph. Taelin is the only third-party morph I have for Ben. If you run into issues applying the expressions to the figures, try applying an expression first and then apply your morph. The matching set of expressions for Kate 2 has an issue with Andolaurina's character Chelsea which is solved by this procedure. There shouldn't, as far as I can see, be anything left in these expressions that wipes out the Chelsea morph, but it *does* happen. Interestingly, the expressions that come with the original Kate (1) do the same thing if you try to use the Chelsea morph and then apply the expressions from Smith Micro. So, if this *does* happen with any morphs you may have with Ben that I don't, try the work-around. Remember that when more extreme morphs are used, it's often necessary to manually adjust the expressions in these kinds of packs for the best possible render. ------------------------------ KATE 2 Expressions Information ------------------------------ There aren't many third-party morphs out there for the "Poser Family" kids, Ben 2 and Kate 2, so it makes it difficult to test for all contingencies for posisble problems. I did try to edit the expressions so they shouldn't affect morphs. There is an issue Andolaurina's character morph Chelsea (from Content Paradise) and these expressions. Applying the an expression to the Chelsea morphed Kate will revert her face back to default. I don't see what's causing this within the files (and I have edited expressions before so that they don't affect morphs). A work-around is to find and apply the expression you wish to use and then inject the Chelsea face morph. There shouldn't, as far as I can see, be anything left in these expressions that wipes out the Chelsea morph, but it *does* happen. Interestingly, the expressions that come with the original Kate (1) do the same thing if you try to use the Chelsea morph and then apply the expressions from Smith Micro. Andolaurina's set for Kit also has a similar problem with expressions, so it may be the way the morphs are saved. Remember that when more extreme morphs are used, it's often necessary to manually adjust the expressions in these kinds of packs for the best possible render. ------------------------------ Hair Fits Information ------------------------------ I've included three hair fits for Ben 2 and Kate 2 in this pack. Akaste Hair http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/akaste-hair/82615 Helios Hair http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/helios-hair/60691 Hermes Hair http://www.daz3d.com/hermes-hair I've fit these three hair products to fit because depending on the styling options you apply, they can actually quite successfully all three be quite youthful and unisex. Due the the fact that hair products by 3Dream, Mairy, and Plus3D are so morphable and stylable, you may need to adjust the fit(s) according to your style preferences. I used scaling instead morphs to make fits because it would have interfered with styling options for the hair products (and prossibly face morph options for the figures). You can also use the hair products' morphs to improve the hair fits around the ears, neck, ect. PLEASE NOTE: The hair fits do not successfully fit the hair products to Ben 1 and Kate 1 due to head scale and shaping. The hair fits were created to be used while Ben 2 and Kate 2 are in "Zero" position. To use the fits: 1. Load Ben 2 or Kate 2. 2. "Zero" their position by selecting the figure, bringing up the Joint Editor by going to the WINODOW menu and selecting JOINT EDITOR. Click ZERO ROTATIONS. 3. Without moving Ben 2 or Kate 2, load the hair prop. 4. Apply the appropriate fit pose to the hair prop of your choice. 5. PARENT the hair to Ben 2 or Kate 2's head before moving the figure(s). ------------------------------ Usage Limitations ------------------------------ You may use this package for renders used in both commercial and personal projects.
