Included are 3 versions: Victoria 4, Michael 4 and Victoria 3 so you can use each weapons with all three DAZ characters. Of course being weapons they are parented props so they can also be used with other characters simply by moving them into place to be correctly grabbed by the model you wish to use. All older weapons have been given a "make over" as far as materials are concerned and DAZ Studio (.ds) MATs are also included. Where to find "Aery Soul's Weapons Collection" files in your Poser: Pose --> AS-WeaponsCollection: Pose --> AS-WeaponsCollection/Grabs: Victoria 3/4 and Micheal 4 hands grab poses Pose --> AS-WeaponsCollection/Weapons MATs: All weapons MATs (remember that these are parented props, you need to have the reference figure loaded to be able to use the MATs successfully Props --> AS-WeaponsCollection: All weapons (V4/V3/M4 versions) THE Aery Soul's Weapons 01 INCLUDES (Right and Left hands): - Elven Swords: Icying Light and Wind Singer (features in the Megil' Salkir package) - Justice Sword (featured in the Justice package) - Moon Blades (featured in the Moon Dancer package) - Rapiers (featured in the Seven Seas package) NOTES/INSTRUCTIONS -IMPORTANT - READ-: 1) Get started. Load your character, go into the props folder and load the swords. Choose the pose you want to use and then use the proper grab pose to have the character grab the weapon! 2) To tighten or loosen the grab poses you can easily use, for Michael 4 and Victoria 4, their morphsform grab poses and adjust them! 3) If you have any "issue" rendering bear in mind that the materials heavily depends on the specular settings therefore either check/adjust the materials specular settings (in both Poser and DAZ Studio) or your specular light settings). ******************** RENDERING TIPS ******************** IMPORTANT: always remember that the final outcome heavily depends on your lighting and render settings. To P5/P6/P7 users we strongly recommend 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 ******************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of this product's content was created by As Shanim & Siliphiel of Aery Soul (under the name Aery_Soul as merchant on Renderosity) using the following merchant resource: Texture resources available at cgtextures.com personal resources ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open the zip file with WinZip Click EXTRACT Verify that All Files is checked Verify that USE FOLDER NAMES is checked Extract the folder to your Poser directory and Winzip should create the path to the files or \AerySoulInfo\ AS-WeaponsCollection_README.txt license.TXT Runtime\Geometries\AerySoul\weaponscoll\ 7s_lft_rapier.obj 7s_rgt_rapier.obj icyinglight.obj js_lft_sword.obj js_rgt_sword.obj md_lft_blade.obj md_rgt_blade.obj windsinger.obj Runtime\Libraries\Poses\Grabs\ \Michael 4\ ElvenSw_LHand_M4.png ElvenSw_LHand_M4.pz2 ElvenSw_RHand_M4.png ElvenSw_RHand_M4.pz2 JusticeSw_LHand_M4.png JusticeSw_LHand_M4.pz2 JusticeSw_RHand_M4.png JusticeSw_RHand_M4.pz2 MoonBlade_LHand_M4.png MoonBlade_LHand_M4.pz2 MoonBlade_RHand_M4.png MoonBlade_RHand_M4.pz2 Rapier_LHand_M4.png Rapier_LHand_M4.pz2 Rapier_RHand_M4.png Rapier_RHand_M4.pz2 \Victoria 3\ ElvenSw_LHand_V3.png ElvenSw_LHand_V3.pz2 ElvenSw_RHand_V3.png ElvenSw_RHand_V3.pz2 JusticeSw_LHand_V3.png JusticeSw_LHand_V3.pz2 JusticeSw_RHand_V3.png JusticeSw_RHand_V3.pz2 MoonBlade_LHand_V3.png MoonBlade_LHand_V3.pz2 MoonBlade_RHand_V3.png MoonBlade_RHand_V3.pz2 Rapier_LHand_V3.png Rapier_LHand_V3.pz2 Rapier_RHand_V3.png Rapier_RHand_V3.pz2 \Victoria 4\ ElvenSw_LHand_V4.png ElvenSw_LHand_V4.pz2 ElvenSw_RHand_V4.png ElvenSw_RHand_V4.pz2 JusticeSw_LHand_V4.png JusticeSw_LHand_V4.pz2 JusticeSw_RHand_V4.png JusticeSw_RHand_V4.pz2 MoonBlade_LHand_V4.png MoonBlade_LHand_V4.pz2 MoonBlade_RHand_V4.png MoonBlade_RHand_V4.pz2 Rapier_LHand_V4.png Rapier_LHand_V4.pz2 Rapier_RHand_V4.png Rapier_RHand_V4.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Poses\Weapons MATs\ ES-IcyingLight.ds ES-IcyingLight.png ES-IcyingLight.pz2 ES-LIcyingLight.png ES-LIcyingLight.pz2 ES-RWindSinger.png ES-RWindSinger.pz2 ES-WindSinger.ds ES-WindSinger.png ES-WindSinger.pz2 Justice_RealRefl.ds Justice_RealRefl.png Justice_RealRefl.pz2 MoonBlades.ds MoonBlades.png MoonBlades.pz2 Rapiers.ds Rapiers.png Rapiers.pz2 Runtime\Libraries\Props\AS-WeaponsCollection\ \Michael 4\ ES_IcyingLight_M4.png ES_IcyingLight_M4.pp2 ES_WindSinger_M4.png ES_WindSinger_M4.pp2 JusticeSw_Lft_M4.png JusticeSw_Lft_M4.pp2 JusticeSw_Rgt_M4.png JusticeSw_Rgt_M4.pp2 MoonBlade_Lft_M4.png MoonBlade_Lft_M4.pp2 MoonBlade_Rgt_M4.png MoonBlade_Rgt_M4.pp2 Rapier_Lft_M4.png Rapier_Lft_M4.pp2 Rapier_Rgt_M4.png Rapier_Rgt_M4.pp2 \Victoria 3\ ES_IcyingLight_V3.png ES_IcyingLight_V3.pp2 ES_WindSinger_V3.png ES_WindSinger_V3.pp2 JusticeSw_Lft_V3.png JusticeSw_Lft_V3.pp2 JusticeSw_Rgt_V3.png JusticeSw_Rgt_V3.pp2 MoonBlade_Lft_V3.png MoonBlade_Lft_V3.pp2 MoonBlade_Rgt_V3.png MoonBlade_Rgt_V3.pp2 Rapier_Lft_V3.png Rapier_Lft_V3.pp2 Rapier_Rgt_V3.png Rapier_Rgt_V3.pp2 \Victoria 4\ ES_IcyingLight_V4.png ES_IcyingLight_V4.pp2 ES_WindSinger_V4.png ES_WindSinger_V4.pp2 JusticeSw_Lft_V4.png JusticeSw_Lft_V4.pp2 JusticeSw_Rgt_V4.png JusticeSw_Rgt_V4.pp2 MoonBlade_Lft_V4.png MoonBlade_Lft_V4.pp2 MoonBlade_Rgt_V4.png MoonBlade_Rgt_V4.pp2 Rapier_Lft_V4.png Rapier_Lft_V4.pp2 Rapier_Rgt_V4.png Rapier_Rgt_V4.pp2 Runtime\Textures\aerysoul\weaponscoll\weaponscoll\ 7s_rapier.jpg js_sword.jpg js_swordB.jpg js_swordD.jpg js_swordS.jpg meg-swordIcy.jpg meg-swordIcyB.jpg meg-swordWind.jpg meg-swordWindB.jpg moond_blades.jpg moond_bladestx.jpg moond_bladestxB.jpg moond_reflect.jpg wc_refl.jpg ŠAery Soul 2001-2009 www.aerysoul.com
