	Thank you for purchasing my Figure Skates.  Your support is greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoy using them.  Please be aware of some instructions on usage of these clothing items.  The skates are made to fit all the characters listed (Victoria 3, Stephanie Petite 3, Aiko 3, Michael 3, David, Hiro, Luke and Laura (Millenium Teens) (www.daz3d.com).  A MAT pose has been included should it become necessary to hide the feet and toes to avoid poke-through, although this should not occur on most occasions.  

  Additionally, because skates don't bend, I have fit the bone structure to the feet only.  You will need to zero the feet after you have finished posing your character.  This can be done easily using the MAT pose files provided.  

----------------------------------------------

Requirements: 
Poser 4.03 or higher

----------------------------------------------

How-to-install:

	- Unzip the files in their appropriate directories.  (see below)

	- Poser 4 users will need to convert the bump map "Skate_Boot_Bump.jpg" to a .bum file in Poser in order for it to work. 

How-to-use:

	- After loading your character, turn off Inverse Kinematics 
	(under Figure>Inverse Kinematics> uncheck both Leg selections)

	- Load the appropriate Figure Skates

	- Conform the Figure Skates to your character using the "Conform To" option

	- Use the Feet Transparency MAT Pose on your figure, if necessary. 

	- Add additional items if necessary and apply a pose to your character

	- Finally, use the MAT Pose files provided to zero the feet and toes of your character (so that the skate looks natural and doesn't collide with the legs)  


	** Mac Users will need to convert the files using Poser Maconverter.  (www.soft-rabbit.com)
