It is possible to choose the number and size of the drops that will appear on the model and whether or not you would like to parent the drops automatically on the corresponding bones of the figure or on the prop itself. Each drop is a selectable prop in the scene and can be moved or deleted separately if you wish to do so. Drops use the Iray water shader and therefore look quite realistic in renders. As a free BONUS with this set, you will get 4 wet geometry shells, one for each G8F, G8.1F, G8M, and G8.1M. The shells will help complete the wet look if you are using the "DrippingWet" on these Genesis figures. Set also includes scripts that automatically remove drops from the figure/prop or all drops from the scene. How To Use: STEP 1 - Select the desired figure/prop in the scene (the one that you would like to apply drops to). STEP 2 - Click on the "DrippingWet" script. STEP 3 - "Drops - number and size" window will appear, use the slider with the "Approximate number of drops" label to choose a number of drops to create and use the "Size in millimeters" slider to adjust the size of the drops. Check the "Parent drops" checkbox if you want to parent the drops to corresponding bones (if you selected a figure) or to prop. In the lower-left corner of the window, you can find [?]What's This button which you can use to get some details about the options in this window. Also, check the NOTES section for furder details. OPTIONAL - If you are using the "DrippingWet" on G8F, G8.1F, G8M, or G8.1M, you may apply the corresponding bonus wet shell with the figure selected in the scene before or after applying the drops. REMOVING - If you wish to delete all drops from a specific figure/prop, select that figure/prop in the scene and click on the "RemoveDropsFromNode" script. If you wish to remove all drops from the scene, click on the "RemoveAllDrops" script (you don't have to select anything in the scene to do so). It is also possible to select and delete every drop separately. NOTES: The "Approximate number of drops" slider has the maximum value that changes depending on the model selected in the scene. The drops will be crated on the facets of the model and the maximum value will always be the number of facets on the selected model. The process can be heavy on the machine and therefore it is advised not to create more than 1000 drops at one go (if you choose a greater number it may put DazStudio in a "Not Responding" state, in some cases it may recover after a few minutes and finish the process or it may last more than 2 hours, this will depend on the machine and the number of drops). Instead, if you would like to have a greater number of drops on the model, you should use the "DrippingWet" script multiple times but make sure to change the number of drops you are creating to avoid creating the drops on the same facets (in the same places). It will depend on the mesh of the model in which spots the drops will be created. On dense meshes the drops will be created closer together. If you want the drops to follow the model, you need to check the "Parent drops" checkbox or parent them manually. If the selected model is a figure, the script will try to parent each drop to the bone on which it was created (if the corresponding bone is not found, it will try to parent the drop on the root bone). If the selected model is a prop, the script will parent the drops to the node that the prop is fitted to. This is because the first idea was to make this product usable on strand-based hair props, and if parented directly to these hair props, the drops will not follow the model. If a prop is selected and it is not fitted to anything, the drops will be parented to the prop itself. If the "Parent drops" checkbox is not checked, all drops will be parented to one drop for easier usage. Parenting the drops to the figure will not make them follow morphs, so you should apply the morphs before you apply the "DrippingWet" drops! Check the pdf "INSTRUCTIONS" file for illustrated step-by-step instructions. IMPORTANT: It is necessary to follow the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS below in order for this product to function properly, especially if you customized your DAZ Library and you don't have default water shader at default path (My DAZ 3D Library/Shader Presets/Iray/DAZ Uber/Water.duf). Copying of the Runtime folder to your DAZ Library folder is essential for the materials to work properly otherwise you will have to apply the material to the drops manualy! If you have any additional questions about the product, please write to lightblue3design@gmail.com. ====================================================================== INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ====================================================================== - Unzip the zip file to a temporarily folder - Copy the 'data, Runtime, and Scripts' folders in the unzipped folder and paste them into your DAZ Library folder.(e.g. C:\Users\Your Username\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library) ====================================================================== TAGS ====================================================================== wet, drops, women, men, water, dripping, realistic, strand-based, hair, wet skin, genesis ====================================================================== COPYRIGHT & LICENSE ====================================================================== Copyright (c) 2022 lightBLUE.
