You will need a file extraction utility such as Winzip to install the product files on your hard drive Installation Instructions: -------------------------- 1) Extract all of the product files except BushyTail2_7457.zip to your Poser program directory using a file extraction utility such as Winzip. a) Files are distributed in Kasa_For_Akio3.zip. b) Extract your Poser program directory (for example,C:\Program Files\Curious Labs\Poser X\).** c) Be sure to extract with "use folder names" selected. d) All files will unzip to the correct locations. e) Extract BushyTail2_7457.zip to a temporary location and install it per the readme included within BushyTail2_7457.zip. ** "Poser X" = "Poser 5", or "Poser 6", etc... Launch Poser and you will find the Injections, MATs, and Props located as follows: Pose/Achronicity/Character Mats/Wolf --> MATS to load wolf character textures. Pose/Achronicity/MorphInject --> Morph injection files for the Kasa Figure. Pose/Achronicity/Eyecolor Mats --> MATS to change eye colors. Pose/Achronicity/Nail and Claw Mats --> MATS to load different claw and fingernail colors. Props/Achronicity --> Digi and Planti claw smart props for the right and left feet Operation: ---------- You will need to have the very latest full version of Akio 3.0 loaded to use this product. Akio 3.0 is available free from Daz3D To load the Kasa Figure into your scene, perform the following steps: 1) Start by loading an Akio3 figure into your scene. - this must be a full Akio3 Base figure. The Blank or LE figures will not work. 2) With the Akio3 figure selected, Inject head morphs. - Pose/Achronicity/MorphInject/KasaHeadMorphs 3) With the Akio3 figure selected, Inject leg and foot morphs. - If you want a digitgrade figure, inject Pose/Achronicity/MorphInject/KasaDigitgrade - If you want a plantigrade figure, inject Pose/Achronicity/MorphInject/Kasaplantigrade 4) Load the claw smart props for the left and right feet. -for digitgrade feet, load Props/Achronicity/ KasaDlClaw and KasaDrClaw -for Plantigrade feet, load Props/Achronicity/ KasaPlClaw and KasaPrClaw 5) Once you have your Kasa figure assembled, you can save her in your figure library, or just recreate her each time you want to use her. Kasa has morph dials in her head to generate the anthropomorphic head shapes: HdCanine Canine Head morph --> the main morph for these figures. CanineOpnMth Opens the mouth when HdCanine is used CanineSmile Smile when HdCanine is used CanineFrown Frown when HdCanine is used CanineSnarl Snarl upper lips when HdCanine is used. SnarlLowerLip Snarl lower lip for HdCanine, HdCat, and HdSkunk SnarlySnout widens front of muzzle a bit - use with snarl HdCat Modifies HdCanine into a more Cat Like shape - use with HdCanine CatOpnMth Opens the mouth when HdCat is used CatSmile Smile when HdCat is used CatFrown Frown when HdCat is used CatSnarl Snarl upper lips when HdCat is used. HdSkunk Modifies HdCanine into a more Skunk Like shape - use with HdCanine SkunkOpnMth Opens the mouth when HdSkunk is used SkunkSmile Smile when HdSkunk is used SkunkFrown Frown when HdSkunk is used SkunkSnarl Snarl upper lips when HdSkunk is used. WideMuzzle Widens the Muzzle ShortMuzzle Shortens the Muzzle. FullLips Gives the figure fuller lips - sorta like Victoria 2 HdFox UseProp4Ear Removes the ears from the Canine head so you can use ear props. HumanEar Gives the character human ears so you can use the Daz ear morphs Ears_Back Tilts the ears back Ears_Up Picks the ears up EarsLieDown Lowers the ears CarnivoreTeeth Gives the character Carnivorous teeth TeethLwrBack Move lower teeth fore/aft TeethLwrUpDn Move lower teeth up/down TeethLwrXrot Rotate lower teeth about X axis TeethLwrWidth Make lower teeth wider/narrower TeethUprBack Move upper teeth fore/aft TeethUprUpDn Move upper teeth up/down TeethUprXrot Rotate upper teeth about X axis TeethUprWidth Make upper teeth wider/narrower The HdCat and Hdskunk heads morphs are generally intended to be used with HdCanine morph = 1. You can use Poser to split the ear morphs into right and left morphs if you want to pose the ears individually. I did not split them in order to keep the distribution file size a bit smaller. If you inject the The Plantigrade Feet, the figure has a morph dial in the body group called Furriefoot to change the foot from human form to a four toed claw foot. If you want to use human style feet, you will want to claw toggle visibility off, or just not load the claw props. In addition to the main texture Matfile for each character (Red Wolf and Gray Wolf) mat, 11 additional MATS are provided for each body / head texture. These options may be useful to you for extreme closeups, or faraway renders, or certain lighting conditions.

You will need to install BushyTail2 (provided) to use this pose, however. Many of the Akio Body, Head expression and feature morphs are useful with Kasa. To use the Daz ear morphs, it is useful to dial in the HumanEar morph as a base starting point. The Daz Body morphs will work with the exception of foot and toe morphs when the foot is configured as a four-toed clawfoot. For Poser7, you will want to set display units to Poser Native Units if you want textures to render at the correctly. This can be done in Edit->General Preferences->Interface. I further suggest that you also set texture filtering to off or none for all versions of Poser. In my opinion, texture filtering just blurs the fine detail in the textures with these figures, but that's just my opinion, and it depends on the effect you are trying to achieve. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 11/30/2006 James E.
