Start Poser or DAZ Studio and load a fresh M3 into the scene (not one you changed and saved). Zero the figure and turn off IK. 2. Open the Pose library and then open Ethan. 3. Load the poses as you require. To activate the morph load the INJ pose first and then the MOR pose. Remember to inject all of M3's morphs and expressions first. The head morph can be used independently to give your other characters a custom look. To do this load the Ethan INJ pose and then select the whole body of M3. In the dials menu you will find the Celeb1 morph dial. You can then set the dial to whatever value you like. 0.000 to 1.000 work best. 4. DAZ Studio users may need to adjust the morph and poses a little to get the best results. 5. Load the MAT Poses to activate the textures, Poser 6+ users can also open the material library and then Ethan and load the Poser 6+ material settings. You may want to change the setting for the bump mapping. You can do this in the material room or surface select menu. See your handbook for details. For the genital textures make sure you have loaded the M3 genital figure and it is selected. Load either the Ethan Gen P6+ material settings or the MAT pose. 6. Open the Face library and then Ethan. 7. Load the faces as you require. Make sure you have injected all of M3's expression morphs first. 8. Open the Light library and then Ethan. 9. Load the light that matches the pose you are using or mix and match. 10. Open the Camera library and then Ethan. 11. Load the cameras that match your pose or mix and match. 12. Open the Hair library and then Ethan. 13. Load the hair that you would like to use. NOTE: The hair is dynamic hair and only works in Poser 5 and newer. 14. YOu can use the hair as it is or you can run a dynamic simulation. See your handbook for details on using dynamic hair. 15. To get effects like you see in the promo renders I recommend using the highest render settings with shadows turned on. 16. DAZ Studio users can improve the MAT pose by downloading the free DAZ default shaders from daz3d.com and adding them to the skin, eyes etc. See your handbook and DAZ documentation for details.
