To use the poses, click on each pose - please note though, you may have to turn them to get them in the correct positioning as depicted on the thumbnails. --------------- This zip file contains the following files: This readme file Renderosity MP readme Poses/VENOM: BandedKrait.pz2 BandedKrait.rsr BandedKrait.png Copperhead.pz2 Copperhead.rsr Copperhead.png Cottonmouth.pz2 Cottonmouth.rsr Cottonmouth.png DeathAdder.pz2 DeathAdder.rsr DeathAdder.png Diamondback.pz2 Diamondback.rsr Diamondback.png GuayanesePitViper.pz2 GuayanesePitViper.rsr GuayanesePitViper.png IturiForestRhino.pz2 IturiForestRhino.rsr IturiForestRhino.png MalayanPitViper.pz2 MalayanPitViper.rsr MalayanPitViper.png Taipan.pz2 Taipan.rsr Taipan.png TempleViper.pz2 TempleViper.rsr TempleViper.png AirRaid.pz2 AirRaid.rsr AirRaid.png AspCrawl.pz2 AspCrawl.rsr AspCrawl.png Cruisin.pz2 Cruisin.rsr Cruisin.png DeathStrike.pz2 DeathStrike.rsr DeathStrike.png EncirclingPrey.pz2 EncirclingPrey.rsr EncirclingPrey.png Entangled.pz2 Entangled.rsr Entangled.png LikeACobra.pz2 LikeACobra.rsr LikeACobra.png OnTheProwl.pz2 OnTheProwl.rsr OnTheProwl.png Predator.pz2 Predator.rsr Predator.png Slitherin.pz2 Slitherin.rsr Slitherin.png Textures: BandedKrait.jpg Copperhead.jpg Cottonmouth.jpg DeathAdder.jpg Diamondback.jpg GuayanesePitViper.jpg IturiForestRhino.jpg MalayanPitViper.jpg Taipan.jpg TempleViper.jpg They should be unzipped into their proper folders.

The problem is the different ways merchants do icons often conflicts between different versions of poser cause them to react differently. This part of the readme will hopefully resolve those problems. Just look to your version of Poser to see how you can fix any issues you might be having with them. Poser 4 - This version of poser uses rsr's to generate an icon image. By default, Poser will create one that is a raw version of the model you saved. Merchants often render seperate images and make more decorated icons for all the libraries. These rsr's are converted using a special program that converts pict files into rsr format. I have never heard of any issues to date with these being used, except that they may or may not work if youre using Poser 5. It is for that reason I also include png files in the pack folders as well. The png's should not conflict with the rsr's if you leave them in the folders, as long as youre using Poser 4 or Poser 5. And if the rsr's dont work and you have Poser 5, the png's will. Poser 4 Pro pack - Png's in the folders can cause the rendered icons not to work properly, as they are generated from rsr's like Poser 4... the difference though with pro pack is, having png's in the folders with the rsrs will cause them to conflict with the rsr's and will generate an odd looking icon in its place. To resolve this issue, just delete all the png files in the folders, leaving the rsr's only. Poser 5 - Some have reported that poser 5 necessitates the use of png's to generate rendered icons, while others have said their poser 5 works fine with just the converted rsr's. It is for this reason I include both converted rsr's and png files for all the icons. You shouldnt have any issues with this pack since I include both and Ive never heard of any conflicts occuring, like with pro pack, to date.... however I will advise against deleting the rsr's - it isnt known unto me whether or not the model will work without it. Best to just leave everything in its place. You can always play around by moving the files around to see if you can resolve any issues I havent covered in this readme. Remember, anything that you do delete, whether by accident or on purpose, can be recovered from your original zip file, should you delete something of importance. I hope this helps. ---------------- No restrictions apply to this texture set, other than redistribution of the set being strictly prohibited without written consent.
