Tubes
=====================================================

By KTdid (C) 2016

Thanks you for purchasing Tubes. Please look for more of my creations soon on Renderotica.com!

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

Description:
This is a form fitting clothing for any figures based on Genesis 3 Female. Though it looks simply like a dress, it is actually made of three parts. The top covers the chest. The skirt and a middle section that attaches the top and the skirt making a full dress. In essence, it is three pieces of clothing, a tube top, a tube skirt and a tube dress, thus making the product 'Tubes.' This product is similar to my other product in that it is rigged differently so that the average user can make the dress look more natural but be warned, it is not as easy as my previous products. As you can see, this is a very tight fitting outfit and any pose placed on the figure will necessitate some adjustments to Tubes. It may be just a few clicks on adjusting a side or the adjustment take longer if the figure has it's legs moved, either apart or in a sitting position.

With that said, you do have much more control over how the dress looks on the figure. To fully understand how Tubes work, please read the tutorial. Even if you are an expert with my products, please look over this tutorial because the rigging is very different from what you might expect.

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

All items in this product, unless noted, was created by me using a Macintosh Pro (5,1) with OS X 10.10 with Hexagon 2+, DAZStudio 4.9+ and Photoshop CS5.x

TERMS OF USE: (This is not the full terms of use but read this because most people don't know this.) You have purchased the right to use this software. You do not own it and there for you cannot distribute it whole or in part in anyway. (BTW, this is true for all software so don't sweat it) You can use this for personal or commercial renders. (I'd appreciate an acknowledgement :-)

System Compatibility - Apple OS X
	Has not been tested on Windows or Linux OS by KTdid

Software Compatibility -  DAZStudio 4.9+ (though it should work in 4.8 without problems)

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

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.

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

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. When OS X tries to create the .DS_Store files and it cannot because it is on a FAT32 disk, then it will create "_MACOSX" folder.
5. After moving the files in their correct places, you are all done.
6. Launch DAZStudio and Tubes 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." Tubes should show up in the above directory.

NOTE TO PC USERS: Please be careful when using the 'copy/paste' method of loading these (or anyone else's) files, especially when there are folders within folders with the same name.

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

Product Usage:
(The following assumes that you know the basics of DAZStudio 4.9+)
• Load a G3F based figure
• Have the figure selected and load Tubes
• All the Materials are in Iray format. (I do not support 3DL)
• If you haven't read the Tutorial read it.
• If you didn't read the Tutorial, you will have problems but as before, pose your figure, make any materials or visibility adjustments
• Do a small render with Tubes contrasting enough with the figure's skin tone so you can see poke throughs.
• Fix poke throughs and do final render
• Read the Tutorial

Note that there is a reset for Tubes. This reset will place Tubes back to it's neutral position. If it is fitted to a figure, the neutral position for Tubes is the pose of the figure. If it is not fitted to a figure, it will go to it origin point (0,0,0).

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

Last Minute Additional Information:
There are easy ways to make the Top, Middle or Skirt be invisible. Duf files (Double Click Icons) have been made for ease of use. Please note that Materials will override visibility, meaning if you change visibility and then change Materials, everything will become visible again.

I have also added an additional Material called Knit White.

The Loki material came from Loki.
