====================================================================== SOME INFO ====================================================================== I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants - ©Causam 2019 Thank you for purchasing the I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants. http://www.renderotica.com/content-artists/Causam/1386 This pant has been a pain in my derriere, but I liked the initial concept so much (which I found almost by accident) that I just had to keep working at it. In case you were wondering, they're not really for yoga unless you want your character to give her instructor an erection. Probably you do, but that's none of my business. The PG rated version of this pant will be available on CGBytes, which has no TruMesh in the crotch or crack. Those will be called the I Dream Bell-bottom Dance Pants. Draw your own conclusions. Anyway, here they are and a right heavy load they've been to get here. I hope you enjoy including them on your character more than I've enjoyed creating them - however I am pleased with the final result. ====================================================================== CONTENTS ====================================================================== ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G3\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G3\ G3_Bells_40455.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G3_dForce_preset\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G3_dForce_preset\ G3_Bells_40455.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G3_NFI\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G3_NFI\ G3_Bells_40455.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G8\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G8\ G8_Quads_40455.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G8_dForce_preset\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G8_dForce_preset\ G8_Quads_40455.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G8_NFI\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\IDBYP_G8_NFI\ G8_Quads_40455.dsf ..\My Library\Documentation\ Causam_IDBYP-readme.txt ..\My Library\People\Genesis 3 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\DForce Preset\ dForce_G3.duf dForce_G3.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 3 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\Materials\ Deep Blue And White.duf Deep Blue And White.duf.png Gold Silk Damask.duf Gold Silk Damask.duf.png Tiger Stripe.duf Tiger Stripe.duf.png Uber Base.duf Uber Base.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 3 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\ IDBYP_G3.duf IDBYP_G3.duf.png IDBYP_G3_NFI.duf IDBYP_G3_NFI.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\DForce Preset\ dForce_G8.duf dForce_G8.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\Materials\ Deep Blue and White.duf Deep Blue and White.duf.png Gold Silk Damask.duf Gold Silk Damask.duf.png Tiger Stripe.duf Tiger Stripe.duf.png Uber Base.duf Uber Base.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\ G8_Bells.duf G8_Bells.duf.png G8_Bells_NFI.duf G8_Bells_NFI.duf.png ..\My Library\People\ Thumbs.db ..\My Library\Runtime\Textures\Causam\I Dream Bell-bottom Yoga Pants\ African Yellow and Blue.jpg Bubbles and Blue.jpg Gold Silk Damask_d.png Gold Silk Damask_h.png Gold Silk Damask_n.png bubbles and blue_h.jpg bubbles and blue_n.jpg tiger_stripe01.jpg tiger_stripe02.jpg tiger_stripe02_h.jpg tiger_stripe02_n.jpg tiger_stripe02_s.jpg ..\My Library\ Causam_IDBYP-readme.txt Causam_IDBYP_020819-02.zip ====================================================================== PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS AND COMPATIBILITY ====================================================================== Programs Required: DAZ Studio 4.10 (should work with earlier versions well, though I haven't tested this). Models Required: Genesis 8 female, Genesis 3 female Any addons required to use: None ====================================================================== INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ====================================================================== 1. Unzip the archive into a temporary folder. 2. If you want the product to appear under "My Library" in DS, copy (merge) the "data", "People", and "Runtime" folders into "C:\Users\\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library". If you want the product to appear under "My DAZ 3D Library", copy (merge) "data", "People", and "Runtime" folders into "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library" 3. In DS, in the Content Library tab, right-click "DAZ Studio Formats" and choose "Refresh". ====================================================================== MORPHS ====================================================================== There are no morphs. These were designed from the outset knowing that because they would be bell-bottom pants, dForce would be obviating the need and doing a much better job in the process. ====================================================================== DFORCE PRESETS ====================================================================== In a subfolder called "DForce Presets" you will find preset wearables. These presets assume a couple of things, but they give you the basic fabric behavior that should be useful. I will say that you need to turn of limits for the friction under "surfaces" and up that to 3 or so if you plan on using a standing pose. These pants fit tightly, and the bell-bottoms tend to drag them down at the waist even with a friction setting of 1.00. Also, I have the default dForce contraction at 95% for the waistband but again, you'll want to turn this to 90% or even lower if your character is in motion and/or upright. ------ A WORD ABOUT SMOOTHING ------ By default, dForce turns smoothing "Off" when dForce is applied. I don't know why they do this, because if you apply dForce to form-fitting clothing, you will undoubtedly encounter clipping in any but the default pose. Therefore, because of the collision feature of dForce, the garment will be distorted during the simulation in those areas where clipping occurs. The first thing I do after applying dForce to a garment is to go back in and turn smoothing back on. THEN I run the simulation. Yes, this adds a little bit of time to the simulation but not that much. It's definitely quicker than banging your skull against the wall only to ultimately turn smoothing on. It's up to you - follow my advice or not. ------ A WORD ABOUT FEET ------ I went back and forth on the issue of weighting the feet on these because they are bell-bottoms. Some of you, and damned few, will remember the '70s as I do and wearing bell-bottom pants. You know, as I do, that your feet have no say in the matter in the real world. This is also true in the 3D world. However, there are some situations in which the feet being fully weighted on the garment make a positive impact. For this reason, I have provided two duf files - one is called IDBYP_G(3 or 8) and has the feet fully weighted. The other is called IDBYP_g(3 or 8)_NFI and does NOT have the feet weighted - NFI stands for "No Foot Influence". In other words, I completely removed the influence of all bones from "foot" on down through all of the toes and the heel in the NFI version. Just use the garment, you'll see why. ========================= If you need help with any of this, feel free to IM me on Renderotica for assistance. Thanks again, and I hope you'll make some great images with this product. Causam
