*Product Name: SickleFuse Coat About Town
*Copyright 12-19-10
*By: Fuseling (Textures, Materials) and SickleYield (Mesh, Rigging)
************************************************************

This is a superconforming overcoat for Michael 4 which also supports Hiro 4.  It is a high-density, lovingly hand-sculpted mesh, suitable for realistic renders, and as such falls just under 27,500 polygons.  Many extra custom morphs are included to facilitate fit and to add movement, including various unbuttoning morphs, wind movement, and special handles for moving the skirt around.
 
There are several texture sets for the coat, lining and buttons.  Both DAZ 3 and Poser materials are included and are accessed as MAT poses.  The appropriate program's material will be applied when the icon is clicked whether you use DAZ or Poser, and these should work with Poser versions 5 and up.  

Tested on a PC with 64-bit Vista Ultimate, Poser 6 and DAZ Studio 3.0 Advanced.

Additional credits:

First and foremost, I thank the creators of GIMP and Blender, which are incredibly full-featured 2D and 3D creation programs available for free.  Credit is owed to the makers of the CR2 editor, a very useful and easy-to-use free program for editing cr2 files, and Aanascent for the free Cr2Clean which was used to clean the cr2.  I also owe particular thanks to mattymanx of the DAZ and CI forums, who helped with a problem during beta testing.  Thanks to colorcurvature also for his morph loading script, which greatly facilitated many of the more extreme morphs. 

Finally, special thanks to my friend Enigmatic of the BlenderArtists forums, without whose Blender advice and skills I would never have gotten into 3d to begin with.
