Pose/AS-FableHair --> Fitting: inject the fitting for the character you want to use (Alice, Vicky 3, Kielo, Yaara, Aiko3, Aiko3 Real, SP3) Pose/AS-FableHair --> Global Presets: Some global presets you can use as they are or customize by hand or with the Morphs Ready Poses included. Pose/AS-FableHair --> Hair MATs: Hair and straps colours and style (you need the character loaded and selected for them to work) Pose/AS-FableHair --> Morph Ready Poses: 1-click poses to set the hair movement morphs The complete product is split into 2 different products zips, you must install both in order to use it. NOTE to users of pre-5 Poser versions: Fable Hair package takes advantage of P5 and higher folder structure, in order for the files to display correctly in previous versions you will need to move them to the main directory. NOTES/INSTRUCTIONS -IMPORANT - READ-: - Fable Hair is composed of various hair parts: * Main (R&L): the main hair part including the hair sides and tails ** Slight movements: hinted moves to add that touch of dynamism to static poses * Front Bangs (R&L): the frontal bangs * Miro (R&L): the outer thinner hair layer * Tails (R&L): the tip of the tail (from the strap down) This partition was mainly done to add realism to the hair dynamism and movements. You can easily mix and match the morphs of the various parts to create a movement that perfectly fits the movement and pose of your character/scene and you can very easily and quickly create different and custom movements every time. With the Morphs Ready Poses included is a matter of a few clicks. - Fable Hair material files doesn't include any particular shader, however users of POSER 4 RENDER ENGINE are advice to delete any bump settings as the poser 4 render engine doesn't render them correctly. - The hair has the VISIBLE IN RAYTRACING option ON, if it takes too much to render in your scene you can disable this option in the properties tab (ctrl+i), of course if you disable it it won't cast raytracing shadows or appear in reflections and such. - If the hair is HEAVY on your scene, just delete the morphs you don't use to make it much lighter. (This is also why fittings are separate INJ, so they don't add "weight" you don't need to the hair). STEP BY STEP - Load your character - (if it's different from V4) go to the AS-FableHair/fitting folder and inject the matching fitting - set the fitting to 1 - Go to the AS-FableHair/Morphs Ready Poses folder and set movement morphs for each part or the ones you're interested in moving, you can also do this by using the dials to mix more morphs (may cause slight distortions). - if you want to change the hair or straps colours/style go to the AS-FableHair/Hair MATs folder, select your character and click on any poses. (MATs do not work on hair or props, you need to have the figure they are smart propped to selected in order for the MATs to work). ******************** RENDERING TIPS ******************** IMPORTANT: always remember that the final outcome heavily depends on your lighting and render settings. To P5/P6/P7 users we strongly reccomend the use of the Firefly engine for your final renders, as the result are far better than with the P4 and because it exploits the shaders included in the package; it is also more precise by and large and allows the use of other important features such as raytracing and displacement maps. We also suggest to not use Auto settings but custom Manual ones, for a good outcome of any texture (clothes, skin, hair): - the min shading rate should be set to anything near 0.2 - the pixel sample should be set to at least 6 - the irradiance caching should be set to anything between 75% and 100% (the higher the better) - always leave the USE DISPLACEMENT MAPS CHECKED - always check both the cast shadows and raytracing boxes. ******************** RENDERING TIPS ******************** POSES - POSES - POSES POSES - POSES - POSES POSES - POSES - POSES The folder "AS-FableHair/Hair MATs" includes MAT poses to change the hair and straps styles, there are 14 colours to chose from. Remember that you need to have your character loaded and selected in order for the MATs to work on the hair and/or straps. The folder "AS-FableHair/Morphs Ready Poses" includes 1-click poses to set the various hair parts morphs to 1, it also offers a graphic representation of the morphs you can use as reference to create your custom movements: Click on the Pose to set the morph you want. Each Morph ready pose sets the choosen morph to 1 and all the others (of the same kind, for example "MainR" or MicroL") to 0. The poses are named after the various hair sections (main, bang, micro, tail). We strongly suggest to use a value of 1 or near for the morphs in order to avoid distortion. In case you want to mix and match more morphs just remember they have to "look balanced" in the end (you may need to mix values over and under the zero, with a little practice it will become very easy!
