A dystopian underground human storage facility for your assembly line and industrial renders!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL NOTE 1: Posing for Genesis 8 (V4) figures is based on the STANDARD, NON-MORPHED OR ALTERED figures. If you have applied morphs or altered body shapes or proportions, you must manually adjust the character and device positions if connection points are not touching. If you do have to alter the poses, you can do this to one side of the device and one side of your character then use the symmetry command to mirror the result to the other side.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL NOTE 2 (Daz Studio): Iray is the render engine of choice. This package only includes materials that will look good in Iray.

-------------------------------------
Human Storage Boxes Folder:
-------------------------------------
The purpose of these poseable boxes is to completely hide your character, but be able to be opened to show them. There is a prop/shell version of these boxes that removes all the interior mesh so you can populate your scene with several boxes and take up less computer memory/resources.
-Face Mask: This is an air mask that has some filters and an easypose hose that can be posed to any location. The mask, side filters and hose base can be repositiond and have some size/shape morphs. The Face Masks in the pose library for G8F/V4 is a wearable preset and will automatically apply and self pose. (Poser version does not have wearable preset but rather pose method)
-Storage Box 1: This is a standing body sized storage box with opening lid. The lid has a poseable window cover. The interior of the box contains a foam liner and repositionable air breathing port. The display screen on the lid has emmisive/ambient material properties that will glow in a dimly lit scene.
Pose files for the Box and matching poses for G8F/V4 are provided. The Face Mask pose is a wearable preset that will automatically apply, position and pose the mask. (Poser version does not have wearable preset but rather pose method)
-Storage Box 2: This is bent/fetal position sized box with sliding head cover, opening sides, rear access cover and feeding bay with feeding tube and 2 nutrient containers. The sides and head cover can be opened and closed to access the feeding bay and expose the stored humans head. The rear access cover can be moved to expose the bent over nether regions of your character. The display screen on the
lid has emmisive/ambient material properties that will glow in a dimly lit scene.
Pose files for the Box and matching poses for G8F/V4 are provided.
--Poses subfolder---: There are subfolders for boxes 1 and 2. These subfolders contain poses for G8F, wearable preset for the face mask if applicable and subfolders for color options.

Storage Room Folder
-------------------------------------
-Storage Room: This interior room has a central shaft with vertical lift that can move boxes down to a next level. The front and back of the room have 4 working ventilation fans and a door that exposes a transfer tunnel. The middle section of the front and back walls can be moved out of view if you'd like to have a separating wall between 2 sets for rooms stacked end to end. The side walls each have 4 storage bays with working doors. There is a morph to hide the middle of the side walls if you'd like to add a narrow
utility corridor (which is provided as an add-on figure). The storage bays can hold the rack/box combos.
The Room Pre-Setups folder contains 5 room setups with attached accessories and a subfolder with options for add-on storage racks and conveyors. The Room Accessories folder also contains an alternative "Floor Alt" figure that has 4 subfloor storage bays with working doors. More info on
those below.
---------------------------------
----Room Accessories subfolder---
---------------------------------
-_Null Base: This is a non-rendering null base that you can use to parent other items to then save back to the libraries as a scene subset. This Null Base has been used with several pre-parented combo sets such as the storage boxes, etc. The Null Base, in those instances has been renamed to an appropriate name for viewing in the Scene Pane window. To move all those pre-parented items together, look for the Null Base that has been renamed and move it around, the parented items will move with it.
- Conveyor Belt: This is a cool industrial conveyor belt figure. The base, conveyor table and belt all have some size/shape morphs for custom posing. The belt can be hidden from view with it's Hide Belt morph. The Room Pre-Setups have the conveyor belt already placed.

A few sets of accessory combos are provided with the crane grasping some boxes in the Accessory Combos folder, just import these into your scene as needed for interest.

- Storage Box 1 Shell: This is a prop version of the articulated Storage Box 1 figure. The interior meshes have been removed so this shell takes up less computer memory/resources.
