NOTES/INSTRUCTIONS: - Load Victoria and use the "!-Disable JCM" pose you find in your "AS-BlackLotusPoses" folder in the poses section to get rid of JCM morphs that may cause poke-throughs. Inject the Black Lotus breast morph via clicking on the INJ pose you find in the "AS-BlackLotusPoses", the morph will set automatically. If you need to disable it simply select the BODY of your character and set the "Black Lotus" morph to 0. Load the clothings and conform. - If you're using Kielo or Yaara custom morphs REMEMBER to set the corresponding clothing morphs to 1, you need to do this manually. To set the morphs always select the BODY of the item and set the body morph to 1. - when using morphs such as Yaara and Kielo, which are very different from Victoria 3 base, some poke-through may happen with particular poses, in these cases you can either use the included fix morphs, custom Poser magnets and/or the morphs included in the clothes to correct these minor issues/poke-throughs, in some cases you can also use the scale dials of the figures themselves. - To adjust the bodice to your character of correct poke-through there are two magnets for the breast part (select the chest and they will appear) and one for the lower part of the bodice (select the hip and it will appear). - The folder "AS-BlackLotusMATs" includes MAT poses to hide the various bodice parts/material parts. Combine the various "hide" poses to customize the bodice to your liking; for example you can hide the lower parts to have a sort of breast cage and so on, just as you wish. - Black Lotus material settings are optimized to work in P5/P6, the Mats are still compatible with previous Poser versions but the final outcome will be different than showed in the promo images. Bump settings both in P4 and ProPack will probably need to be adjusted manually since these settings are much more sensible in P5/P6 therefore are set at very low values and the same is for highlight settings. Also always remember that the final outcome will depend heavily on lights and render settings. Features such as Displacement settings will not work in P4 and ProPack (in this case you can use the Displacement MAP as bump map). To P5 and P6 users we strongly reccomend the use of the Firefly engine as the result are far better than with the P4 and because it exploits all the material settings included with the clothings. This product was NOT tested within DAZ Studio, we do not support DAZ Studio at the moment therefore cannot assist with it, most clothing items for Poser do work in D|S as well but you could also run into some issues/problems and some features may not work so if you only use D|S be aware of this and that the product may not be fully compatible. These notes should clear most of your doubts or questions about "Black Lotus" and its features but should you run into any issues or have any doubt and/or suggestion don't hesitate to contact us, we'll be more than glad to help out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of this product's content was created by As Shanim & Siliphiel of Aery Soul (under the name Aery_Soul as merchant on Renderosity) using the following merchant resources: Texture resources available at cgtextures.com (some hairband textures) Texture resources available at mayang.com (some hairband textures) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open the zip file with WinZip Click EXTRACT Verify that All Files is checked Verify that USE FOLDER NAMES is checked Extract the folder to your Poser directory and Winzip should create the path to the files or \AerySoulInfo\ BlackLotus_README.txt license.TXT \Runtime\Geometries\AerySoul\blacklotus\ bl_ball.obj bl_base.obj bl_bodice.obj bl_collar.obj bl_cube.obj bl_kielo_bodice.obj bl_l_axe.obj bl_l_boot.obj bl_l_glove.obj bl_l_gloveadd.obj bl_l_kneeshield.obj bl_l_shoe.obj bl_r_axe.obj bl_r_boot.obj bl_r_glove.obj bl_r_gloveadd.obj bl_r_kneeshield.obj bl_r_shoe.obj bl_yaara_bodice.obj \Runtime\Libraries\!aerysoul\blacklotus\ Inj_bl_brst1.pz2 \Runtime\Libraries\Character\AS-Black_Lotus\ Bodice.cr2 Bodice.png Bodice_Kielo.cr2 Bodice_Kielo.png Bodice_Yaara.cr2 Bodice_Yaara.png Boot_L.cr2 Boot_L.png Boot_R.cr2 Boot_R.png Collar.cr2 Collar.png Glove_Lft.cr2 Glove_Lft.png Glove_Rgt.cr2 Glove_Rgt.png Shoe_Lft.cr2 Shoe_Lft.png Shoe_Rgt.cr2 Shoe_Rgt.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\AS-Black_Lotus_Poses\ !-DisableJcm.png !-DisableJcm.pz2 !Grasp Lft.png !Grasp Lft.pz2 !Grasp Rgt.png !Grasp Rgt.pz2 Inj_blacklotus.png Inj_blacklotus.pz2 Pose 1.png Pose 1.pz2 Pose 2.png Pose 2.pz2 Pose 3.png Pose 3.pz2 Pose 4.png Pose 4.pz2 Pose 5.png Pose 5.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\AS-Black_LotusMATs\ -BodiceReset.png -BodiceReset.pz2 Hide_Abdomen.png Hide_Abdomen.pz2 Hide_CenterBrst.png Hide_CenterBrst.pz2 Hide_CenterStrap.png Hide_CenterStrap.pz2 Hide_FrontLeather.png Hide_FrontLeather.pz2 Hide_Hip.png Hide_Hip.pz2 Hide_In_Brst.png Hide_In_Brst.pz2 Hide_LatBrst.png Hide_LatBrst.pz2 Hide_MidStrap.png Hide_MidStrap.pz2 Hide_Neck.png Hide_Neck.pz2 Hide_Top.png Hide_Top.pz2 \Runtime\Libraries\Props\AS-Black_Lotus\ Axe_Lft.png Axe_Lft.pp2 Axe_Rgt.png Axe_Rgt.pp2 \Runtime\Textures\AerySoul\blacklotus\ bl_axe.jpg bl_axeBum.jpg bl_axeD.jpg bl_bodymetal.jpg bl_bodymetalBum.jpg bl_boots.jpg bl_bootsBum.jpg bl_bootsSpec.jpg bl_collar.jpg bl_collarBum.jpg bl_collarSpec.jpg bl_collarblades.jpg bl_collarbladesBUM.jpg bl_glove.jpg bl_gloveBum.jpg bl_gloveSpec.jpg bl_gloveadd.jpg bl_gloveaddBum.jpg bl_gloveaddSpec.jpg bl_kneeshield.jpg bl_kneeshieldBum.jpg bl_kneeshieldSpec.jpg bl_shoe.jpg bl_shoeBum.jpg bl_shoeD.jpg bl_shoeSpec.jpg bl_straps01.jpg bl_straps01Bum.jpg bl_straps01Spec.jpg bl_straps02.jpg bl_straps02Bum.jpg bl_straps02Spec.jpg As Shanim & Siliphiel of Aery Soul www.aerysoul.com
