Blaze for M4 by adamthwaites copyright June 2010. http://www.most-digital-creations.com/blaze_michael_4.htm All of this product's content was created by Adam Thwaites Product Support: Admin@most-digital-creations.com Files List: ReadMeBlaze.txt (see the list below for all other included files) Needed Files List: Required: Poser 5 or newer OR DAZ Studio 3 or newer (free or advanced) PLUS Michael 4 Base with Morphs++ NOTE: Will also work in older versions of Poser and DAZ Studio, with some minor limitations. The textures and smart props can also be imported into and used in Carrara. Blaze was tested in Carrara 8. Installation Instructions: 1. Extract the Zip folder to your Poser folder or DAZ Studio content folder. 2. As an alternative you can extract the Zip folder to a different location and manually copy the folders and files to the correct location as listed below. Exact folder names and locations: ..\Runtime\libraries\Light\Blaze\ Light.lt2 Light.png ..\Runtime\libraries\Pose\Blaze\ Blaze MAT.png Blaze MAT.pz2 Blaze MORPH.png Blaze MORPH.pz2 ..\Runtime\libraries\Props\Blaze\ Abdomen.png Abdomen.pp2 Back.png Back.pp2 Chest.png Chest.pp2 ForeArm L.png ForeArm L.pp2 ForeArm R.png ForeArm R.pp2 Head.png Head.pp2 Hip.png Hip.pp2 Shin L.png Shin L.pp2 Shin R.png Shin R.pp2 Shldr L.png Shldr L.pp2 Shldr R.png Shldr R.pp2 Thigh L.png Thigh L.pp2 Thigh R.png Thigh R.pp2 ..\Runtime\textures\Blaze\ BlazeEyeSurfaceB.jpg BlazeEyeT.jpg BlazeEyes.jpg BlazeEyesB.jpg BlazeFace.jpg BlazeFaceB.jpg BlazeFaceS.jpg BlazeLimbs.jpg BlazeLimbsB.jpg BlazeLimbsS.jpg BlazeTear.jpg BlazeTeeth.jpg BlazeTeethB.jpg BlazeTorso.jpg BlazeTorsoB.jpg BlazeTorsoS.jpg flame1tex.jpg flame1trans.jpg flame2tex.jpg flame2trans.jpg ..\BlazeScene\ BlazeScene.pz3 Application Instructions: 1. Start Poser or DAZ Studio and load M4 into the scene. Turn off IK and zero the figure. Poser users can also load the BlazeScene.pz3 as a starting point. 2. Open the Pose library and then open Blaze. 3. Load the Blaze MORPH pose to activate the body morph (M4 Morphs++ will need to be installed and injected first). 4. Load the Blaze MAT pose to activate the textures. 5. Open the Light library and then Blaze. 6. Load the Light (DAZ Studio users may find the light setting a little too bright. Simply delete one of the lights to correct this. Experiment to see what works best.). 7. Open the Props library and then Blaze. 8. Select M4 and load the smart prop flames. They will automatically attach to the figure and follow its movements. 9. If you are using a different body morph you can easily scale and move the flame props to fit. 10. You could even use the flame props in different positions to get different effects. Simply move and scale them using the dials. 11. To get the same look as the promo renders Poser users should render with the render settings used in the BlazeScene.pz3 found in the BlazeScene folder. DAZ Studio users should render using Open GL - 8 passes per light. You may use this package as you wish in your commercial and non-commercial renders.
