Product Title: Mols-V4 Crying-A-Lot Author: Mol Author E-mail: artistmol@hotmail.com Product Date: April 2008 Product Copyright: Mol Smith All of this product's content was created soley by: Mol Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A video example (low quality) can be viewed at: http://www.onview.net/v4-crying.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** What this Product Does ** It provides a variety of different animated poses for a life-like crying Victoria 4, complete with streaming tears and come-alive face animations. It can be used to mix in with your own animations. Only the 'changed' attributes are injected so as not to mess with your other morphs and movements. Ths is one of several supplentary products for Mol-V4-Come Alive Expressions. It is a stand-alone product and does not require any other Come Alive Products for it to function. This Product will add a sequence of up to 600 frames for V4 head or head and body where the figure will manifest real sobbing and crying, complete with tiny tears in her eyes which roll down her cheeks and fall away. If you apply the Head and Body option, the figure will also manifest subtle moments, including breathing, in addition to crying. Only the items undergoing animation are injected, so you are free to animate your figure without my morphs and movements messing up yours. V4's face is also animated to the crying sequences. The Product also has a SHED-A-TEAR 90 frame sequence for a more modest and evocative moment of sadness for your figure animation. The Product also has a SHED 2-TEARS 150 frame sequence for an alternative evocative moment of sadness for your figure animation. The Product also has a 180 Advanced SHED-A-TEAR animation with animated tears and tear tracks. The Product also has a SAD Subtle Cry 180 frame sequence for a subtle tear streak moment. Note: All the Props and Poses are only suitable for Video/Movie Rendering! They are not suitable for still frame rendering as the reality of crying is only sustained in the animated sequence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Needed Files List and System Required: ** Poser 5,6,7, or higher. Daz's Victoria 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 Base The additional Morph Pack for these figures is not needed! Poser Prop Primitives (Normally comes with Poser!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Detailed Installation Instructions ** Extract the zip-archive with your zip program: - Open WinZip and press the button -Extract- - In the window -Folders/drives-, select the folder that contain your Poser program. (ex. c:\program files\Poser6\ ). - The check box -Use Folder names - must be marked. That way, all files will placed in the correct path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Usage Tips/Limitations ** **** GENERAL TIPS **** The animations are applied by first going to the Prop folder and loading the tear-drop props. Double-click on each of the three tear props and the single breathe-prop. You can then go to the Poses Folder and apply either of the animated poses found there. If you wish to alter the breathing-rate, locate the BREATHE prop (magnet) and use the Graph Editor to alter the frequency of the x-Rotate function. If you want less than 600 frames in your animation, delete some frames, after applying! You can delete frames in poser to cut a specific sequence from the animation pose. If when loading the props or poses, you see a magnet or deformer circle, select 'DISPLAY' from the Poser Top Menu bar, Select 'Deformers' from the drop-down Menu items, and click on 'HIDE ALL'. Note: the tears run down the curvature of V4's face. If you have Morphed her face 3d polygons, then you will need to adjust the x,y,z trans components of the tears to ensure they stay on her skin. This is not required on V4 default head! It is important to look at the thumbnails in both the Pose and Props library to carefully select the correct props, and number of props for each pose! The Thumbnails will guide you with instructions on what to load and the sequence to apply. Normally, you load apply the prop (double-clicck the thumbnail), and then the Pose (double click the thumbnail)! If something looks odd, you have probably got confused about which props to load for which animated Pose. It is best not to mix them, but instead choose 1 specific crying animation and load the prop/props and pose for this one only. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The files will be installed in the following locations: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Crying-600H-Only.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\A-HELP.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\A-HELP.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Crying-600HB.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Crying-600HB.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Crying-600H-Only.png Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Crying Prop Tear3.pp2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Breath-600-tool.png Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Breath-600-tool.pp2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Crying Prop Tear1.png Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Crying Prop Tear1.pp2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Crying Prop Tear2.png Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Crying Prop Tear2.pp2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Crying Prop Tear3.png Runtime\Molhelp\Mols-Expressions\Licence.txt Runtime\Molhelp\Mols-Expressions\readme.txt Runtime\Molhelp\Mols-Expressions\Crying-a-lot-ReadMe.txt Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed-a-tear-Mix.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed-a-Tear-HELP.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed-A-Tear-HELP.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed-a-tear-Mix.png Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Tear Tool.pp2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Tear Tool.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CHELP.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CHELP.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CryHB.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CryHB.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CryH-Only.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CryH-Only.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CryH180.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Sad-Subtle-CryH180.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Tear-Track1.pp2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\Mols-V4-Expressions\Tear-Track1.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed-a-Tear-mAdvanced.png Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed-a-Tear-mAdvanced.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed 2 tears.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Mols-V4-Poses\V4-Complete-Sequences\Shed 2 tears.png Runtime\Textures\Mols-V4\V4-texture-kit\Props\Tear-Surface.jpg Runtime\Libraries\Materials\Mols-V4-Poses-Mats\Tear-Surface.png Runtime\Libraries\Materials\Mols-V4-Poses-Mats\Tear-Surface.mt5 -------------------------------------- Thank you for choosing my work.
