====================================================================== ************************************************************ *Product Name: Dynamic Tights *Copyright 6/5 2010 *By: Gustaf Grefberg ************************************************************ These dynamic tights take advantage of the poser cloth room to create a natural stretch. Dynamic tights can stretch and crease naturally depending on the characters pose and body, and create very realistic looking results. The tights come in four different variants: 1: Tights with constrained waist that keep them im place 2: Additional constraints at the ankles, in case you make an "y" stretch, making sure they keep the correct length. 3: Additional constraints at the front/pelvis. For some figures this helps to keep a tighter fit around the pelvic area that dynamic pants otherwise usually don't. 4. A combination of constraints at the ankles and front. The readme include tips on how to create the best fit/stretch for the tights, depending on your Vicky's bodyshape. Tons of UV-mapped materials with shaders are included: Basic fabric Roses Flowered pattern Tiger pattern Tiedye Silk Stripes -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6 or higher Victoria 4 by Daz3d -------------------------------------- Ownership Statement: All of this product's content was created by Gustaf Grefberg and may include derivatives of the following merchant resources: - Tie Dye Brushes by Mystikel - Fabric Texture Brushes by Mystikel - Fabric Flaire Bundle by Banphrionsa - Designer Patterns by Atenais (Liudmila Metaeva) - Patterned Silks Resource Pack 03 2004 by Lynn Johnson - a.k.a "FanDancer" - Photos from 3d.sk - Own resources -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Unzip the files into your poser directory. To open a clothing item, you go to props, then into the Grappo folder and then into the Dynamicpants2 folder. To apply a material, go to materials, and then into the Grappo folder and into the Dynamicpants2/tights folder. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: ************************** * Cloth Room quick start * ************************** This is a quick introduction in how to use these clothes. For a basic understanding of the cloth room, please refer to the Poser reference manual or various freely available tutorials online. But even without that, these instructions should help you getting started. The pants are applied in the cloth room in a slightly different way than normal clothes are. 1. Load Victoria 4. 2. On frame 1, keep her in her zero pose, without any morphs loaded. (You can have facial morphs, since they don't affect the pants) 3. Somewhere between frame 10-15 (Or more if you feel its needed), put Vicky in the final pose that you want. Here you can also load or apply any custom V4 morphs that you want, that alters her body one way or the other. The cloth simulation needs to start with Vicky zeroed in the first frame, so that the pants can drape or stretch into the final frame. 4.(IMPORTANT!) Before you load any of the clothing props, make sure you have Vicky selected. Then load the pants. Now, the pants are parented to Victoria. If you scale Victoria, the pants is scaled as well. This can be very useful. The pants can stretch, if you scale victoria down down in size in the starting pose, and be normal in size in the final pose. If you have loaded a pose and morphs in the final frame, there is already a keyframe here, so all you have to do is to scale victoria down a bit in the starting pose. Make sure you have victoria's BODY selected when doing this. 5. Go to "New Simulation" and set the desired amount of frames. Usually this is the same number as your final pose frame. 7. Then you select "Collide against", and as collision object choose Victoria 4. You can choose her whole body, or to speed up the simulation a bit, check the ignore head, hand and feet collection boxes. A good collision offset value is somewhere between 0.200-0.400. Collision distance is usually good around 0.300. To keep the tights from intersecting with the rest of the fabric, having the self collision box checked can help. 8. In the DYNAMICS CONTROLS, you can experiment with fold resistance, to give the fabric some more creases, or decrease it to make the material a little bit tougher When you have everything set up the way you like click "Calculate Simulation", and watch the progress or go have some coffee. :) ********************************************** * Using parented scale * ********************************************** The pants come parented to Victoria 4. This means that if you move or scale her, the pants will follow. Now, if you scale her in the starting pose, it will affect the cloth simulation. (Just make sure that she is scaled to normal/100% in your final pose) For example, if you want the pants to stretch or fit tighter in the final pose, just scale vicky down. When you do this scaling, make sure to have Victoria's BODY selected. This is very useful if you want the pants to fit tightly to your character. If your vicky is curvier than the average figure, this might not be needed, since the tights will stretch out into her. But if she is thinner, you may want to scale her down a bit in the zero pose. (especially z and x axis) If your V4 figure is named to something else than "Victoria 4" sometimes the parent doesn't set when you load the garment, if that's the case, just go into the object menu and parent it to Victoria 4's "body" ***************** * Material Room * ***************** Applying materials is easy. Go into the material room, into the Grappo folder and into the Dynamicpants2/tights folder. Just click on a material and it's applied all the zones ************************ * General Stuff * ************************ If you wish to make your own textures, you will find an UV map called "Tights_UV" where the rest of the textures are stored. Note that it's got some distortion at the very center of the crotch, which is not usually very visible in most poses. As far as the legal stuff goes, see the renderosity license txt file. But as a general rule, use it however you want in your personal or commercial projects, just dont redistribute the package, in whole or in part, to make a competing product!
