Open Poser library "Poses" -> "++Magic-G-Prop!" and apply the pose named: "V3PoseDefault" This pose positions Victoria correctly to receive the Magic-G! prop. *note* After installation you can also apply the pose "Open" for the best view, I suggest you use the camera pose "Magic-G! Set-up" ------------------------ 3- Open Poser library "Poses" -> "++Magic-G-Prop" Then apply the pose named "MGP-INJ-V3" This pose applies some morphs for fitting the Magic-G! to the Victoria hip. ------------------------ 4- Load the Magic-G! figure in the Poser scene "Figures"->"ApCharacters"-> "Magic-G!-Figure-Prop" Do not doubleclick the prop, just click the double checkmark at the bottom of the ApCharacters menu to add it. ------------------------ 5- Select the Magic-G! figure ------------------------ 6- Open the Poser menu "Figure"->"Set Figure Parent..." ------------------------ 7- In the pop-up window scroll down to the Victoria hip, click once and then click "ok". ------------------------ 8- Now select the Victoria figure and apply the texture that you prefer. (In this example I used the DAZ texture "! V3NaturalHi") ------------------------ 9- Select the Magic-G! figure and open the Magic-G! materials window (poser menu "Render"->"Materials..") ------------------------ 10-In the top section, click on "material" and select the material "VaginaExternal" Apply the same BODY texture of your Victoria figure to "VaginaExternal". IMPORTANT!: Always apply the same Victoria body texture to the Magic-G! "VaginaExternal" If your Victoria texture requires an adjustment of the Magic-G! genital labia hue, you can use the MAT poses "zG-HUE-Dark" or "zg-HUE-MidDark" for perfectly matching Magic-G! with Victoria's texture. These poses slightly darken the small labia color. ------------------------ Magic-G! is Ready! Save your character to the library at this point to avoid going through steps 1-10 when you plan on using this character again. ------------------------ How to use Magic-G! ------------------------ Magic G! is a poser figure but works as a prop. Some Magic-G! morphs can be used according to preference. Two morphs requires particular attention during use: "VaginaOPEN" and "VaginaH". These morphs work together with other Victoria hip morphs. To avoid figure distortions, I've prepared 4 MAT-poses that you can apply with just one mouse click. The genital opening requires some changes in the Victoria hip morph and left & right Buttocks groups: Hip morph: Vag-OPEN: work together with the Magic-G! morph "VagOpenH" V-Hole-OPEN: work together with the Magic-G! morph "VagHoleH" FixEnlarge: Fixes some imperfections to the sides of the Magic-G! prop MG-LeftFix and MGRightFix: these morphs are useful in some poses to avoid the buttocks group sides from entering inside the Magic-G! prop You can use the morph "PubicHair-FIX" to conform the V3 Pubic Hair better ------------------------ Some Victoria3 poses could distort the polygon junctions between the Magic-G! figure and the Victoria hip. In these situations it's possible to manually modify morph parameters (Victoria hip) to smooth the imperfections. I suggest you apply one of the 4 MAT-poses included with the product and examine the values of these parameters on the Victoria hip. That way you can understand how to apply these morphs manually if necessary. ============================================================= Product Usage: This product may be used for (x)both commercial and non-commercial work, including but not limited to images and animations. ============================================================= Thank you for choosing my product.
