Thank you for purchasing the Photographic Nude Art Pose & Prop Set!

===============================================================================
Description:
===============================================================================
The Photographic Nude Art set consists of sixteen expressive V4 poses and eight
studio (stage) background props. The whole set is made to replicate a nude
photo shoot setting.

The set also includes two lighting presets: one that provides flood lighting 
that will wash the whole stage with light and one that provides spot lighting
that is meant to focus the light on your character.

Eight different background props give you plenty of different choices for your
photo stage. The poses are natural and expressive and are made to introduce 
little or no distortion of the character's joints for any of the studio poses.

To use: load in your V4 character and optionally one of the eight included 
background props. Apply your chosen pose preset to your V4 character. Choose 
one of the two included light presets and you're ready to render.

The Photographic Nude Art poses and props will be located in the Pose and Props
section of the library palette.

An easy to use texture template is provided that will allow you to easily create
a studio background of your own choosing.

You will need Poser 5 or later or Daz Studio and Daz's Vicky 4 character to use 
this set.

Notes:
===============================================================================
RAYTRACING:

If you want to see the reflections from the Backgrounds props that support it
you will have to enable raytracing in your renderer.

POSING:

It is recommended that you switch off the leg IKs for both characters before
using these poses. Also, it is recommended that 'Use Limits' be turned off as
well to ensure proper positioning of the character. After applying the pose you 
may need to tweak the character and/or clothing depending on character morphs 
etc.

LIGHTING:

PNA Floodlight:
This lighting scheme uses four infinite lights with only the (Main) light 
having the ability to create shadows and the other three providing fill and 
ambient lighting. Usually all that will be needed to light most scenes is to 
Y-Rotate the Main light.

PNA Spotlight:
This lighting scheme also uses four lights but the (Main) light is a spot light
and the other three are infinite lights providing fill and ambient lighting. I
recommend pointing the spot light at your character by selecting the Main light 
and choosing Object -> Point At ... from the dropdown menu. Now as you move
light anywhere in the studio it will continue to point at your character.

 The lighting preset was provided to give a general illumination 
of this set. It should be adequate for most scenes but I highly recommend 
adjusting it for any specific scenes you may create if you choose to use it.
