and Envirolight HDR lighting presets: 1. Start DAZ Studio. 2. Open \Scene\Most Digital Creations\G9 Fluid Avery\ and load the Scene file. NOTE: Camera, Envirolight HDR lighting presets and render settings are also included separately for you to load into any scene that you like. 3. I recommend using the NVIDIA Iray scene preview mode in the Viewport to see a preview of the HDR lighting. 4. If you have an Iray compatible graphic card, then open the Advanced tab of the Render Settings tab and make sure your card is selected. 5. Follow the "Quick Setup" or "Detailed Setup and Customisation" instructions below from step 2. for setting up the character for Genesis 9. 6. The scene was kept very simple to make render times as fast as possible. The only scene lighting comes from the included Envirolight HDR file. 7. There are ten other Envirolight HDR lighting presets included that were used in the promo renders. Simply load each of them to change the lighting and effects in your scene. 8. The camera used in the scene file is also included separately for you to load into your scene. The headlamp is turned off to allow the HDR lighting to look its best. 9. LOW and HIGH render settings are included. Simply load the render setting that you want to use. 10. Render the scene. 11. For even more different lighting effects and to keep the render times as fast as possible, all you need to do is swap the HDR file with one of your choice. 12. Open the Editor tab of the Render Settings tab and then click Environment. 13. You will see the HDR file loaded as the Environment Map. 14. Click the small image to load another HDR file from your computer. Quick Setup: 1. Start DAZ Studio. 2. Open \People\Genesis 9\Characters\Most Digital Creations\G9 Fluid Avery\ and load any of the character presets. 3. The character will load with all morphs, materials and attachments included in this package, as well as the Anatomical Elements. If you don't own the Anatomical Elements, then choose one of the "without genitals" presets or you'll get an error message. 4. You can also follow these steps from step 2. to quickly add the character to any of your preloaded scenes that you have open in DAZ Studio. Detailed Setup and Customisation: 1. Start DAZ Studio. 2. Load Genesis 9. 3. To load a choice of material presets for the character open \People\Genesis 9\Materials\Most Digital Creations\G9 Fluid Avery\skInRAY2\ or \People\Genesis 9\Materials\Most Digital Creations\G9 Fluid Avery\PBR\ or \People\Genesis 9\Materials\Most Digital Creations\G9 Fluid Avery\AC Default IRAY\ 4. To load a complete material preset for the character and attachments, load the Avery preset. 5. The other presets are options, load specific parts of the material preset (see "Notes about the FLUID character system" below) or are material presets for the Anatomical Elements. 6. If you want to use the Anatomical Elements, make sure they are loaded before loading the material preset. 7. If you want less gloss on the character's skin, then load the LOW Gloss option as the final step. 8. You can also follow these steps from step 3. to quickly add the material presets to any of your pre-loaded characters that you have open in DAZ Studio. NOTE: The textures only use the female nipple position. This is to keep the number of texture maps as low as possible and to simplify customisation. 9. To load a choice of morphs for the character open \People\Genesis 9\Characters\Most Digital Creations\G9 Fluid Avery\Morphs Only\ 10. There is a male option, a female option and a neutral or non-binary option. The morph preset loads both head and body morphs together, mixed with the Base Feminine or Base Masculine G9 morphs where required. NOTE: The morph preset also adds Nipples Feminine HD to the character (found in Chest/Feminine in the Shaping tab). As the textures only use the female nipple position, please always use this morph if you want to add nipples to the character when using the textures, no matter what the gender of your character. 11. You can also follow these steps from step 9. to quickly add the morphs to any of your pre-loaded characters that you have open in DAZ Studio. 12. To customise the morph open Actor/Full Body/People, Actor/Full Body/People/Masculine, Actor/Full Body/People/Feminine, Head/People, Head/People/Masculine or Head/People/Feminine in the Shaping tab. 13. In Actor/Full Body/People and Head/People the G9 Fluid Avery dial adds the neutral or non-binary character morph as a starting point and then in Actor/Full Body/People/Masculine, Actor/Full Body/People/Feminine, Head/People/Masculine and Head/People/Feminine the F+ and M+ dials can then be used to shape the character exactly the way you want. The dials go up to 200%, but you may get some strange results at higher values. 14. The M and F dials are a locked mix of the neutral or non-binary morph and the F+ or M+ dials. You should use the neutral or non-binary morphs along with the M+ and F+ dials for the most customisation flexibility, but the M and F dials can also be used. 15. You can also follow these steps from step 12. to quickly customise the morphs of any of your pre-loaded characters that you have open in DAZ Studio. 16. To load a choice of eyebrow and/or pubic hair attachments open \People\Genesis 9\Anatomy\Most Digital Creations\G9 Fluid Avery\ Notes about the FLUID character system: The FLUID character system (FLUID) is a combination of everything I've learned over the years about creating characters, customer feedback and the opportunities that DAZ's Genesis 9 presents. As well as offering the ability to create a true gender fluid character, FLUID was designed with the highest amount of flexibility, interoperability and customisation in mind. Morphs have long been flexible in terms of interoperability and customisation, but FLUID also offers this with textures and materials. FLUID features three basic skin shade groups LIT, MED and DRK (or light, medium and dark). All characters, add-ons and accessories within the FLUID range and the same skin shade group, all work perfectly together with each other. Want to use the head texture of one character, the body of another, the arms of another and the legs of another? While dialling in exactly the way you want your character to look and what gender variation you want them to have? You can, thanks to FLUID. I hope you enjoy this character package for Genesis 9!
