DESCRIPTION:

This is a set of two EasyPose whip props, a full-length bullwhip and a smaller short whip.  Five whip-wielding poses with mirrored versions are included to get you started on your scenes, and these are for Michael 4 and Victoria 4.  There are also poses to place the whip figures in the right or left hands of V4 and M4, and poses for the figures' hands to grip the whip handles.

Materials are present both as pz2 and as dsa, and all have been individually tweaked in both Poser 7 and DAZ Studio 3.1 for the best possible shader effects.  Textures for both whips include:

-black leather
-brown leather
-steel/techno


--------------------------------------
System Requirements:

PC and Mac compatible
Poser 6
Poser 7
DazStudio 3.x

--------------------------------------
Ownership Statement:

All of this product's content was created by SickleYield

--------------------------------------
Needed Files:

DAZ M4 and/or V4 or a figure with similarly-named bones to use the included poses; whips themselves will work with any figure.


--------------------------------------
Installation Instructions:

Unzip to your Poser or DAZ/content directory using a program such as 7zip or 
Stuffit for Mac users.


--------------------------------------
Usage Tips or Limitations:

You can use the EasyPose controls on any segment except the handle.  Do this instead of using the regular bend/twist/side-side controls.

If you don't want to manually position the whips, you will need to load them when M4 or V4 is in zero pose.  Then apply the poses titled "POSE FOR BULLWHIP" or "POSE FOR SHORT" from the M4 and V4 folders, and then parent the whip to the figure's hand.
