To install manually, unzip CDIBorisFP1.zip to a temporary folder with the option to restore paths or an equivalent option provided by your Zip program. Place the CDI Boris FP1 folder (from the face folder) with it's contents, in your Poser\Runtime\libraries\face folder. On running Poser 4 the new faces will show up in the CDI Boris FP1 sub-category of the Faces library. -------------------------------------------------- Distributing Faces using Boris Morphs If you wish to distribute facial poses you create, this is quite alright. Please do not redistribute Capsces' morphs nor the facial poses which are sold with any Capsces' products. -------------------------------------------------- Using the Faces Simply apply the face you wish by double clicking it. You can apply these faces without losing your pose. -------------------------------------------------- Changing Intensity of Facial Poses You can attain varying degrees of intensity from Boris' facial poses in a couple of different ways. Use the following steps: 1. Apply a facial pose from the CDI Boris FP1 sub-category of the Faces library to the Boris figure. 2. Make sure the head is selected and choose OBJECT, SPAWN MORPH TARGET from the menu bar. 3. Name your morph target in the resulting dialog and click OK. 4. Set the head morphs to zero by applying the pose Zero Head Morphs in the CDI Boris sub-category of the Faces library. 5. Adjust the new dial to taste. Another method bloodsong told me about uses animation. I personally think this is a much better method than that above. Start your animation with your face at default and end the animation with a facial pose applied. If you have never done this, following are the steps to use: 1. After adding Boris to your scene, open the animation tray at the bottom of the Poser window. 2. Using the default 30 frames, move the slider all the way to the right to Frame 30. 3. Apply a facial pose from the CDI Boris FP1 sub-category of the Faces library. 4. Adjust the slider to taste. Note that Poser must be set to Full Tracking to see changes from moving the slider. Choose DISPLAY, TRACKING, FULL TRACKING from the menu bar. -------------------------------------------------- Other Notes Most facial poses will require adjustment to Scale and Translation of hair and other head props. Facial poses were created using a focal length of 50mm. Boris' facial poses may reset the morphs in some expression packs. In this case it is best to apply the expression after applying a Boris face pose. Some expression packs may adjust morphs used in Boris facial poses. In this case, you will need to manually adjust the parameter dials for the affected morph(s). -------------------------------------------------- Beta Testers Many thanks to the beta testers for their help testing this product. azl (http://www.renderosity.com/~azl) Daio (http://www.pierianpiaffe.com) Daramski (http://darren.bryce-alive.net) gryffnn (http://www.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?Who=gryffnn) pokeydots Xurge (http://www.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?Who=Xurge)
