If you have a system that is lower than the requirements you should use a paint program To scale down the size, as some textures are at a very high resolution. Poser 4.03 Users None Pro users ------------------------------- If you have Poser 4.03 you need to convert the JPG with-bump at the end to a .BUM file To do this load jpg-bump and poser will convert it to a .BUM file Lightbeam tips =============== 1. To change the saber color you should only change the Material Outer and Soft glow 1&2 only change the (Object color and ambient color) 2. The Softglows represents the blade glow so you would want to make this color the darkest of the colors you are trying to get, because it is further from the center. 3. The Outer glow also represents the color of the blade also, but since it’s closer to the center heat of the blade it should be a little lighter. WARNING do not mess with the transparency of the outer glow because you will more than likely mess it up, it has been set to the best setting possible. 4. The inner part should always be kept white as this is the center laser coming from the Hilt 5. WARNING do not adjust the highlight settings of the saber you will mess up the whole effect if you do. 6. If you feel the lightbeams are to small or to big make sure you adjust the saber beam and the saber hilt to the same size. 7. There is a morph which will thin out the saber and a retract and extend morph. 8. Do not adjust the saber attached lights except for color, they are set for the correct length and intensity settings. Unless your knowledge of poser lights is high I don’t recommend you adjust it. 9. The color on the icon is the color representation of the saber beam. 10. The Saber and the Hilt are two different objects the sabers default position is set to retract, select the saberblade and set it to 0.00 for it to come out. 11. The more lights you have in your scene the lighter the blade will get, something to keep in mind. 12. I would not suggest using a white background for your image because the glow will not be very visible. 13. The naming of the textured objects is a little strange to make sense of it I will try to explain. Object Material Explanation ============================ HILT -------- CB1= A Button ADJ= Adjuster Panel= screen or flat surface Hilt= The lightbeam metal Hilt2= A second part of the Hilt metal (border) Badjust= Blade Adjustment (another type of button) Laser -------- Softglow 1&2= The outercolor of the blade (both should be the same color) Inner= The white part of the blade Outer= The basic color of the blade These are lights and should not be altered ----------------------------------------- Lampflaps Lampbase Camera Parenting to Figure =================== 1. When you load a Lightbeam it loads right at the default Michael and Victoria pose. All you will need to do to make sure it is a good fit in the hand is bend the forearm back so you can straighten the arm out. 2. Important, make sure your arm is nice and straight. 3. To make a Duel saber just create two of the same sabers turn them around and parent them to each other.
