Xameva and Meipe present... Morphed Poses Chapter III - Passion (Lesbian) -= Created Jan. 2012 =- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you very much for purchasing this product. We hope you enjoy.. you'll never look at poses the same again. You'll wish all of them were morphed. :) We'll do our best to create as many as we can! If you have any problems with the script or anything else after reading this ReadMe entirely, then don't hesitate to email. I suggest you email Xameva, as Meipe's first language isn't English.

This is not the same thing as Morphs++ for example. Our custom channel, named "MMorph" is a special channel that needed to be created in order to make the morphs perfect. They did not morph properly in the standard community channels. - Your original .cr2 figure is not changed at all. The script creates a copy and injects the "MMorph" channel into that. You then use this figure to load the morphed poses. - You can use the script on any .cr2, including your custom chars. Be aware though that if your saved .cr2 is grouped with clothes, hair, and anything else, that the MMorph channel will inject into those too. This shouldn't cause any issues other than your stuff having an empty channel, but if you want to avoid that, save your character to the library ungrouped. - You do NOT need to do this if you've already done it with one of our previous Morphed Poses chapters. To use the script: 1. Your scene can't be empty in Poser, make sure either V4 or just a small prop is loaded into the scene. Double click the "Create Morphed V4" script. 2. Browse to the Runtime\Libraries\Character\DAZ People folder. Select Victoria 4.2.cr2, and then click Open. (It doesn't have to be Victoria 4.2.cr2, it can be any V4 figure. But if you want to use the default V4.2, which is the standard, then Victoria 4.2.cr2 is the one) 3. Poser users - Save the new Morphed .cr2 wherever you want, just make sure it's inside the character directory. | DAZ users - New morphed figure will be automatically created in the folder of the input .cr2. 4. Browse to your new morphed figure in the library, and load it. * Script not working? This may because you are using Poser 6 or earlier. Scroll down to the bottom for further instructions. [-How to Install-] Extract the contents of the .zip file into your Poser or DAZ Studio directory and the poses will be there in the Pose library under "X and M's Morphed Poses". [-How to Use-] ** Important notes: Poser users: If you're are experiencing crashes when trying to save your scene, make sure to uncheck the "Use external binary morph targets" option in the Poser preferences under the "Misc." tab. This option has been known to cause instability issues in Poser and is not necessary unless you are creating .PMD full body morphs for distribution. ** Make sure you have no other V4/M4 "fix" packages loaded (Such as CV Simple Details), since this will cause conflicts and bad results. 1. Load up your Morphed V4 characters. 2. Make sure "Inverse Kinematics" is turned off on both V4s. 3. Make sure "Use Limits" is turned off on both. 4. Load the poses as you normally would to each figure. 5. The MMorph value can be adjusted on each body part via the dial under morphs in the Parameters tab. This is useful if you're using a heavily modified custom figure, and want to adjust the morph if it looks weird. 6. The "Zero Custom Morphs" pose zeroes out just the MMorphs and works on both figures. The "Zero Pose" will zero just the pose. 7. Enough technical mumbo jumbo, start enjoying your poses! --------------------- [-Tips-] 1. To move both figures together at once, add a sphere/ball primitive to the scene and parent both V4's to the sphere. Use the Translation and Rotate dials on the sphere/ball to move both figures. Don't forget to make the sphere/ball invisible. 2. Make sure "Smooth Polygons" is checked in the render settings. It makes the figure bend lines a little softer and it will look better. We use it in all of our promo images. [-Important Notes-] 1. You may encounter weird Poser bugs that require you to zero the morphs with the provided zero MMorphs pose, and then reapply the pose. Or you can try turning the MMorph dial on the problem body part to 0, then back to 1 again. This is not a problem with the poses or morphs, but rather Poser itself. The bugs were not able to be reproduced, and they seemed to occur randomly, usually when several figures (people, hair, clothes) are loaded into the scene and there is a lot of morph cross-talk going on. 2. The poses and morphs were designed for the default V4 (And our custom breast sculpt.) Changing V4's body shape, including breasts may cause the morphs to look bad. Results vary. 3. The DAZ script only works in DAZ Studio 3 or later. Sorry DAZ 2 users! If you have Poser, you can create your morphed character .cr2 with the Poser script, and then use that figure in DAZ. 4. Clothing: As with other custom morphs, clothing can be tricky and will prolly need adjustments using magnets, the Poser morph brush, the Poser cloth room, etc. [-Poser 6 or Lower?-] If the Poser script is not working properly, it is likely because you have Poser 6 or earlier. Don't panic, you have two options: 1. Use DAZ script in DAZ Studio to create the morphed .cr2. You can then use the new .cr2 in Poser. 2. This option is more clunky, and more of a last resort. We've included a stand-alone Python script that runs outside of Poser, but requires you to install the Python software. (http://www.python.org/download/) - After installing Python, in a file browser (Windows Explorer or whatever), find your Victoria 4.2.cr2 in the DAZ People folder, and copy it. Then paste it into the Poser Runtime folder where you installed our product under Runtime\Libraries\Character\X and M Morphed Pose\OlderPoser. Then, double click xm-V4.2MorphInjectorOldPoser.py. It should create a new Morphed .cr2 file. You then load this figure in Poser and use our poses! ** Note that when you double click xm-V4.2MorphInjectorOldPoser.py, if it opens up Poser and doesn't create a Morphed .cr2, you must do one extra step. Right click xm-V4.2MorphInjectorOldPoser.py in your file browser, then click "Open With". Then click "Choose default program." Then browse to where you installed Python, select the Python .exe and click OK. This associates the .PY extension with Python so that the scripts opens in Python and not Poser. ** If you're running the script on a .cr2 file other than Victoria 4.2.cr2 or Michael 4.cr2 (custom character), you will need to open the xm-V4.2MorphInjectorOldPoser.py script in a text editor. You need to change the "inv = open" field to the name of your custom figure's name. Then save the script and run it with your custom character .cr2 in the folder. ** You may need to bring these scripts out of your "Program Files" folder if you are encountering an administrator permissions error. As you can see that method is clunky and we apologize if you have no choice but to use that method. You can uninstall Python after you've created your morphed figure. ------------------------------------------------------- Thank you again, enjoy your product!
