Product Title: AlienDudesV2 Skin Pack 1 Software needed: Poser 8 by Smith Micro Poser 8 Content needed: AlienDudesV2 character by Cameron Kitching (PhantomSmurf) Copyright 2011 Cameron Kitching Author name: Cameron Kitching (Use these to search the readme quickly) [INSTALL] [NOTES] [FILE LIST] [README FILE] [TEXTURE MAPS] [LIBRARIE FILES] [MATERIAL FILES] [LIGHTS] [INSTALL] Installation: *Make sure AlienDudesV2 is properly installed in the proper poser 8 directories **Unzip the File to where you’re Poser 8 Runtime Directory is. (Not in the runtime folder) e.g.: C:\Program Files\Poser 8 ***IMPORTANT*** This is a texture content addon pack for the AlienDudesV2 character that can be found on www.Renderosity.com The AliendudesV2 character is not included with this content addon pack. There are no object meshes or poser cr2 files included with this pack. ** All the contents of this package were created by Cameron Kitching (phantomsmurf) ** Redistribution of any part, in any form is prohibited. ** You should have the latest Update for Poser 8 ** You should have AlienDudesV2 character installed into your Poser runtime folder. ** I have not tested it on Mac Computers so it may not work right. ** Most of the textures in this pack are 4096x4096 so please make sure your computer can handel rendering images of that size. ** Not tested in any other version of poser [NOTES] Texturing dudes: 1) Eyes : I have included a new OuterEye transparent material that uses the Park-001.jpg as a reflection map and looks more realistic. 2) Eye material presets come with either a single or double version. Single means it will only load onto what ever surface you have selected. Double means it will load on both eye surfaces. 2b) Alien Eye 001-003, Alien Eyes 004-006, Jet Black Eyes and Outer-Eye-Trans are intended to be used on the outer eye surface of aliendudes. All double versions of these eye sets will automaticly be set to the intended surface. 2c) AE-D to AE-I eye material presets are intended to be used on the Inner Eye surface of aliendudes. All double versions of these eye sets will automaticly be set to the intended surface. 3) There are 6 default body material presets and 11 alt material presets that use extra textures to change the look of the default Materials. 3b) Bump maps are shared between several textures and not all Color maps come with a corrisponding bump map. 3c) Grey dude's color map is grey scale and can be used as a bump map for other color maps. Grey dude uses the DSkinB_MC.jpg to add color to its skin. 3d) GreenDude has only 1 alt material preset not 2 like the others. 4) Most of the body material presets use the DSkinB_MC.jpg that is included with the original AlienDudesV2 charater. So please make sure you have not modified its name or moved it to another location or you will rais an error when loading any of the dudes body material presets. 5) If you find that some of the skin is either too bright or too dark when rendered, try going into the advanced material properties and either increasing or decreasing the diffusion value. IBL AO light sets: 1) I have included 4 IBL AO Light sets. 2 of them are taken from photographs and 2 are hand drawn in Photoshop CS5. These light sets were used in testing aliendudes new skin so I included them for anyone that wishes to easily achieve the same look as the preview images used on renderosity. Rendering dudes: 1) Please note that all the material presets are setup to be used with maximum rendering settings so anything lower may not give the same effect shown on the preview images. To get the greatest detail in rendering dudes, use the manual render settings instead of the auto render setting. (refer to the poser user manual for info on the manual render settings) Also check "Use displacement maps" to get the intended bumpiness of the skin and change the "Tone Mapping" setting to anything more than None (Exponential is recommended) to prevent blown out highlights with some of the body material presets. *** Please keep in mind that the body texture maps are 4096x4096. This means that if your computer does not have enough RAM or system resources you may not be able to use all the New Skins in one scene without poser causing an "Out of memory error". If you encounter this error try to limit the number of dudes you have in a scene. *** _____________________________________________________________ [FILE LIST] Here are all the files.
