Application Instructions:


1. Start Poser or DAZ Studio and load a fresh M4 into the scene (not one you changed and saved). Zero the figure and turn off IK.
2. Open the Pose library and then open James.
3. Load the poses as you require. To activate the morph load the INJ pose first and then the ACTIVATE pose. Remember to inject all of M4'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 James Head INJ pose and then select the whole body of M4. In the dials menu you will find the JamesHead 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. 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 M4 genital figure and it is selected. Load the MAT pose.
6. Open the Light library and then James.
7. Load the light that matches the pose you are using or mix and match.
8. Open the Camera library and then James.
9. Load the cameras that match your pose or mix and match.
10. Open the Hair library and then James.
11. Load the hair. NOTE: The hair is dynamic hair and only works in Poser 5 and newer.
12. YOu can use the hair as it is or you can run a dynamic simulation. See your handbook for details on using dynamic hair.
13. To get effects like you see in the promo renders I recommend using the highest render settings with shadows turned on.
14. 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.
