Requirements

This product is a form fitting clothing for the Genesis 3 Female (G3F) which comes free with DAZStudio.

You must have an Un-Archive utility to expand a zipped file. Most modern computers already have it installed by default.

Highly recommend that 3feetwolf's G3F Gens be used but it is not necessary. Some of the promotional renders had 3Feetwolf's gens in them.

=====================================================

Description
I started, as my first try in making clothing, the most basic. Underwear. I did not choose wisely because it took me a long time to figure out how to fix the "sticky thigh syndrome (STS)." What is that? It's when clothes stick to the thigh when it's not supposed to. Even many DAZ store bought items have it. It's hard to do depending on your clothing but after trial and error, it can be done. Do I know a trick? Well, I don't think I do but I try to do it the same way each time. These undies started out being tossed but after my first product went on sale, I decided to come back to this and fix it, again and again.

With help and encouragement from a fellow content creator, no it is more like they are my mentor, 3FeetWolf, I was finally able to complete this small yet new type of clothing content. Please don't make the mistake that this is just underwear. It can do more than you expect.

=====================================================

Installation Instructions
1. Locate the downloaded zip file.
2. You can either un-zip the file there or move it to a more convenient location.
3. Make sure you have the folder you use for DAZStudio opened as well as the folder with the now unzipped files.
4. Both folders should have a data folder inside. This will let you know that you are on the right track. From the unzipped folder, you need to place the corresponding files to the DAZStudio side.
	4.1. - If you are a PC user, you may see an unusual folder called "_MACOSX." You can disregard this folder and toss into the waste bin. Macintosh users should not see this folder. If you do, toss it. Your Macintosh will make another.
	4.2 - If you see .DS_Store files, you can toss those too. These are tiny database files that try to keep everything straight in Mac OS X. Windows has them too and Macintoshes can see them.
5. After moving the files in their correct places, you are all done.
5. After moving the files in their correct places, you are all done.
6. Launch DAZStudio and Undies should be in People/Genesis 3 Female/Clothing/KTdid/ directory. If you already had DAZStudio running, just right click on the top most line in the "Content Library" tab and select "Refresh." Undies should show up in the above directory.

Product Usage
(The following assumes that you know the basics of DAZStudio 4.9+)

If you feel like you are a "Power User" with DAZStudio 4.9, you will probably skip this section but if you are anything less than a "Power User," I strongly recommend reading the accompanying PDF Tutorial and Information file located in the same folder of this document. If you do not have a PDF document reader, you can get it from Adobe.com. I would place a link here but Adobe keeps on changing their website so the best thing to do is to go to Adobe.com and follow directions. You just need the Adobe Reader and it is free. If you get to a point where they want money, you are looking at another product. Again, it is free to download and use.

The following is a very minimal usage instructions on the Undies. These are not your typical underwear you may purchase from other sites, including DAZ. You don't have to do the Tutorial but I recommend reading them even if you feel like you are a "Power User."

• Load a G3F based figure
• Have the figure selected and load Undies
• All the Materials are in Iray format.
• The Undies come with four extra rigging nodes. The control part of the glutes on the Undies and part of the inner thigh of the Undies. After fitting the Undies, you should be able to locate the rigging in the Scene Tab.
• If you are unsure which are the new rigs, they are named "Right Tush," "Left Tush," "Right Thigh Front Inner" and "Let Thigh Front Inner."
• Please note that I "un-hid" some of the Parameters that are usually hidden. These will help you in posing the Undies.
• To get the Undies to work the way you want them, you should follow these steps to get to rendering as fast as possible.
	1. Pose your figure.
	2. After you have your figure posed, then adjust the Undies to make the Undies look natural in your scene.
	3. Don't go straight to a full render. Do a small render to make sure there are no poke throughs.
	4. Adjust the Undies if there are poke throughs. Use the morphs or the usually hidden Adjustment under the "Actor" listing for the Undies.
	5. Keep on doing tiny renders until everything looks correct.
	6. Do your final render.
• If at anytime you feel the need to start over in posing the Undies, there is an icon to double click that will turn off everything, set things back to 100% and set all the rigging back to 0 in the Materials folder. You can't miss it because the Material icons are very different and the Zeroing icon has the phrase, "Reset all the Undies' Parameters."

Instructions on Using the Morphs
There are several morphs with the Undies and they are all named appropriately for a figure in the neutral position. Of course, if you have your figure in a pose, the morphs may move or not do what you expected. This is normal for all morphs of conforming clothing and to combat this, the inclusion of four more rigging nodes. With the combination of the new rigging and morphs, you should be able to get the natural look you have been looking to render.

Want to have almost natural looking Undies on the floor? Use the "Too the Thighs" morph without a figure. Turn off the limits and slide them to 300%. Use your judgement on how far to take the morph then move them to the floor. It will look like as if some one just took them off and left them there for their mom to pick up!

=====================================================
 
Textures
Everything is in Iray format. Note the icons for the Undies have been rendered in DAZ in Iray, so the icon is the true color of the materials.

The linen texture was created courteously of 3FeetWolf. http://www.renderotica.com/content-artists/3feetwolf/665

The lacing material comes from Wilmap with their permission. Go here to find FREE clothing but you will have to sign up. It's worth it. They only ask you to donate if you can: https://www.wilmapsdigitalcreations.co.uk
