INSTALLATION:
PC: If you use WinZip, be sure to check "Use folder names" and extract to your Poser folder, i.e., \Curious Labs\Poser 6, not the "Runtime" folder.

Mac: Poser 5 and higher do not require file conversion.  Folders may be installed according to the Zip structure, moving the files themselves where a folder of the same name already exists.

This set consists of three figures, and thirteen props.  The materials that come on the figures and props are optimized for ray tracing.  Reflective materials, especially, require an environment to reflect to look their best.  Simpler materials have been provided as Material collections for Poser 6 and above, and MAT poses and materials for Poser 5.  You may delete files not needed by your version of Poser.  Please read all notes below to find out how to use these products.

USING:
Figures: You will find the new figures in your Figures library, under "Kitchen."  Highlight the thumbnail, and click on the double checkmark (Create new figure) to add it to your scene.

Props: You will find the new props in your Props library, under "Kitchen."  Highlight the thumbnail, and click on the checkmark (Apply preset) to add it to your scene.

MAT Poses: You will find the MAT poses in your Poses library, under "BeyondVR\Kitchen\P5 Simple or \P5 Ray Trace."  Highlight the thumbnail and click the checkmark to change the color scheme.  Be sure the correct figure is selected, first.

Materials - Materials are accessed from the Materials room.  They will be found under "BeyondVR\Kitchen\SmAppliances\P5 Simple, \P6 Simple or \Ray Trace."  Use as indicated below.

Poser 5: Use only the materials in "P5 Simple."  Select the specific material you want to change, and double-click the thumbnail of the new material.

Poser 6 and Above: The material collections in "P6 Simple" and "Ray Trace" may only be used in Poser 6 and up.  Each changes all the materials on the figure or prop it is made for.  Any of the P5 single materials are able to be used by P6 and above, also.

POSING:
These objects have been built to perform as closely as possible to their real-world counterparts.  Posing of each figure, and corresponding props, is covered below.

Microwave Oven
Body part "button" - Dial "Push" - left "In," right "Out" (limited).
Body part "door" - Dial "Open-Close" - left "Open," right "Close" (limited).
Body part "carousel" - Dial "Turn" - left "CW," right "CCW."

Mixer
Body Dial "Mix" - This dial turns the eccentric hub, and turns drive the within the hub at a faster rate.  Any accessory loaded will turn with the drive.
Body Dial "Beat" - This dial works exactly as above, but turns the drive at twice the rate.  Speeds from Blend to Whip can be simulated with these dials.
Body Dial "RaiseArm" - Turning the dial to the right raises the arm (limited).
Body Dial "TurnKnob" - This simulates unlocking the arm.  Turn to right to unlock (limited).

Props - The Nameplate loads on the base, all other props are parented to the "drive."  All dials are present, so they may be placed where you wish in your scene.

Food Processor
Body part "onoff" - Dial "Push" - left "In," right "Out" (limited).
Body part "pulse" - Dial "Push" - left "In," right "Out" (limited).
Body part "cup" - All Dials - This body part is special in that it may be moved independently from the rest of the figure.  Not only are the lids parented to it, but the chopping blade and disc stem are also.  This allows any accessory loaded to move with the cup, as it would in real life.

Prop "DiscStem" - Use "yRotate" to turn.  All dials are present, so you may move it independently.
Props "*Discs" - When loaded normally, these will move with the stem.  Again, all dials are present.
Prop "ChoppingBlade" - Use <font color=#ff0000>"yRotate"</font> to turn.  All dials are present, so you may move it independently.
Props "*Lids" - Both lids are parented to the cup.  Again, all dials are present.
Prop "Plunger" - Use <font color=#ff0000>"yTrans"</font> for normal movement.  All dials are present, so you may move it independently.  It is parented to the SlicingLid, so will move with either that lid or "cup" selected.

UNparenting
All props load parented for normal use.  Any may be unparented to place them elsewhere in your scene.  Select the prop (you may need to select its figure parent to have it show in the list), and go to Objects menu - Change Parent.  Click on "Universe" to end its former association.

Smoothing Polygons
All figures and props have been saved with "Smooth polygons" turned off, and they should load that way in Poser 6 and above.  Poser 5 users may need to turn it off manually, if polygon smoothing is enabled in the FireFly render settings.  Uncheck the box on the Properties tab (by body part for figures).

Rendering
Ray Tracing should be enabled in the FireFly render settings, but in many cases is not necessary.  Chrome is an exception.  This set does not use any displacement.

The microwave, because of the glass and grid of the door followed by the reflectiveness of the interior, makes unreasonable rendering demands.  When appropriate, the grid and interior may have simpler materials loaded to speed up renders.  These individual materials are in the P5 Simple material folder, with red borders around the thumbnails.
