INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________________________________________________ Unzip the product .zip archive to your Poser directory. Choose overwrite if prompted. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Load Victoria 4, apply the GND4 morph 2. Pose the model as desired 3. Load the Minidress from Figures>LAS>GND4 4. With the MiniDress selected, from the top menu choose Figure>Conform To..>Victoria 4 5. Repeat steps 3-4 for the other clothing items 6. Clothing MATs and the foot pose can be found in Poses>LAS>GND4 Once loaded and conform use the body handles and FBMorphs to adjust the pose of the skirt until it accomodates the pose of the figure. One point to remember is that the skirt really only needs to be posed so that it looks good from the angle at which you are rendering. Using the body handles of the skirt it is possible to achieve poses that have no poke through, however this may be more trouble and time than it's worth: the important thing is to have it look good from the angle at which you are rendering. After adjusting the skirt, you can hide the body handles before rendering using the !BodyHandlesOFF pose. This set depends on displacement mapping for much of its detail so please be sure that the "Use Displacement Maps" box is checked in the Render Settings (CTRL+Y). When using the transparent shaders you may find it useful to adjust the "Transparency" and "Transparency_Falloff" values to get the exact look you want. Some tweak will be necessary depending on the lighting you use. Increasing the "Transparency" value makes the dress overall more transparent (and vice-versa), while increasing the "Transparency_Falloff" makes the object centres more transparent while the edges stay opaque. Reducing the "Transparency Falloff" gives the object a more even transparency. These changes can be made in the Material Room (CTRL+U) in the ADVANCED view. To change the dress COLORS to your own custom colors, simply change the two tones in the 'COLOR_MATH' node in the upper left of the Material Room. Same goes for the stockings - when matching outfit colors it is helpful to click 'Add to Custom Colors' after choosing your color so that you can apply the exact same color to the other pieces. For the platforms, simply select the PLATFORMS (not BUCKLES) material and change the 'SIMPLE_COLOR' node in the upper left of the material room. I STRONGLY suggest that the user should read and use the Rendering and Lighting .PDF tutorial written by Blackhearted and included in the GND4 package. If you are rendering with IBL lighting then you should UNCHECK "Relflection_lite_multi" in the material settings of the dress, stockings and shoes.
