====================================================================== ************************************************************ *Product Name: Cute Capris for V4 *Copyright 12/2 2011 *By: Gustaf and Kimberly Grefberg *Contact: Renderosity sitemail ************************************************************ Cute Capris is a set of drawstring tights for Victoria 4. It comes in 2 versions; one long, full capris, and one short, mid-thigh version. It's a detailed dynamic cloth with displacement maps that add thickness and detail. Each piece comes with and without the ties. It comes in two different resolutions, and with plenty of different materials. If you want the tight, stretchy fit for the pants, some adjustments may be needed for thinner characters. This is described in the readme file. Several kinds of materials and shaders are included as follows: Cotton Knit Lace Sweats Glossy -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6 or higher Victoria 4 by Daz3d -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Unzip the files into your poser directory. The clothing items can be found under props and then Whimsysmiles. The materials can be found under materials and then Whimsysmiles. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: ************************** * Cloth Room quick start * ************************** This quick start breaks down the process into simple steps how to use the pants in the cloth room. It is not a full poser cloth room tutorial. If you are a beginner it should be enough to get you started, and if you are a more advanced user it should help you find the right settings and some good tips. 1. Load Victoria 4. 2. On frame, keep her in zero pose, without any morphs loaded. Make sure to turn Inverse Kinematics off, found in the Figure menu. if she is not in the zero pose, go to Joint editor and choose "Zero rotations". If you have loaded Victoria fresh, you don't need to do this step. 3. Somewhere between frame 15-20 (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. (Including other Daz characters like Aiko 4, The Girl 4, or Stephanie 4.) The cloth simulation needs to start with the starting pose 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, so if you scale Victoria, the pants are scaled as well. This can be very useful. The pants can stretch, if you scale victoria down in size in the starting pose, and keep her scale normal 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 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, feet and hand collection boxes. A good collision offset value is somewhere between 0.250-0.350. Collision distance is usually good around the same values. 8. In the DYNAMICS CONTROLS, you can experiment with fold resistance (and of course other values), to give the fabric some more creases, or decrease it to make the material a little bit rougher. Values between 1.0 to 5.0 are pretty good, depending on the results you are after. When you have everything set up the way you like click "Calculate Simulation" For tweaking the cloth simulation, look into the sections below for some tips. *********************************** * 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/frame) 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, very useful if you have a character which is a lot more thin than the default shape. ***************** * Resolutions * ***************** The pants comes in two resolutions: Normal This works for most cases Triangulated In some cases, triangles drape better than quads, so this one is made available. ***************** * Material Room * ***************** Applying materials is easy. Go into the material room, into the Whimsysmiles folder and into the Capris folder. Just click on a material and it's applied all the zones. ***************** * Render tips * ***************** Make sure to render with displacement maps on in the render options. If you think that the displacement map is too strong or too weak, you can also adjust their strength in the material room (advanced tab) Just make sure to adjust it in all the zones. ************************ * General Stuff * ************************ If you wish to make your own textures, you will find an UV map called "Capris_UV.jpg" where the rest of the textures are stored.
