================================================================

    The Overlords texture package is comprised of one texture set and two additional colour variants -- the original
light green texture, a darker, moss green variant and a red variant.  The variants are done through material settings
and are not separate textures.

Contents

    The Overlords texture package includes the following items:

	- 1 head texture @ 2500x1700
	- 1 head bump map @ 2500x1700
	- 1 head displacement map @ 2500x1700
	- 1 head ambient map @ 2500x1700
	- 1 body texture @ 2000x2667
	- 1 body bump map @ 2000x2667
	- 1 body displacement map @ 2000x2667
	- 1 body ambient map @ 2000x2667
	- 1 green eye texture @ 512x512
	- 1 blue eye texture @ 512x512
	- 1 orange eye texture @ 512x512
	- 1 eye bump map @ 512x512
	- 1 teeth/gums texture @ 900x900
	- 6 MAT poses (3 to apply the texture and colour variants, 3 to apply the eye variants)

    All textures can be found under the RUNTIME/TEXTURES/ODS/FREAK directory.
    All MAT poses can be found under the RUNTIME/LIBRARIES/POSE/MAT OVERLORDS directory.

================================================================
Installation

    To install this package, unzip to your main Poser directory, ensuring that the "use folder names" option in WinZip
(or equivalent software) is active.

================================================================
MAT Pose Files

    MAT Pose files are designed to make the process of applying textures and material settings that much easier.  The MAT
files included in this package will apply all textures, bump maps, displacement maps and ambient maps.

   ...A note about eye MATs:
	
	The included eye MAT poses should be applied AFTER applying the head/body MAT poses.  The full MATs apply the 
eye texture designed for that particular variant -- Overlord Green loads with the Orange eye texture, Overlord Moss Green
loads with Blue eyes and Overlord Red loads with Green.  The eye textures can be used with any other texture sets you own,
but again should be loaded only after all other textures have been applied to your figure.

   ...General MAT note:

	Please note that MAT poses do not change any morph or scale settings in your figure, just the texture and material
attributes.

================================================================
General Useage Tips

    1.  In order to use this set to its full potential, I recommend using the Firefly render engine with displacement
turned on.  I've found I get the best results when I have the minimum displacement bounds set to 0.70.

    2.  When you apply the Overlords MAT poses, it will seems as if you've just turned your figure into radioactive
clay.  Fear not, that's only due to the way Poser 5 shows ambience and translucence in preview mode -- it doesn't take
any masks into account.  Just do a quick render and you'll see everything is fine.

    3.  The displacement on the figure's chest and shoulders MAY cause problems if used in conjunction with conforming
clothing.   If you find this is a problem, simply go into the material room and set the displacement value to zero for the
"Skin Torso" and "Skin Arm" material zones.  Those are the only two body zones that use displacement.  The displacement
on the hands will only be an issue if using conforming gloves.  If using gloves, simply set the displacement on the "Skin
Hands" zone to zero.
