Start Poser or DAZ Studio. 2. Empty the scene and then load M3. 3. Turn off IK and zero the figure. 4. Open the Pose library and then SantaM3. 5. Load the Santa INJ pose. 6. Load the Santa MOR pose to activate the morph. If you want to remove the morph use the Santa REM pose. 7. Poser 5 and lower and DAZ Studio users can load the Santa MAT to activate the textures. 8. Poser 6 and higher users can open the materials library in the materials room and then SantaM3. 9. Load the Santa P6+ materials file to activate the textures and shaders. 10. If you want to dress the character then you should activate either Santa 2 MAT or Santa 2 P6+ to make areas of the body invisible for the clothes. 11. Open the Characters library and then SantaM3. 12. Load the conforming figures you would like to use. 13. Parent each figure to M3 before loading the next item remembering to select M3 each time first. 14. Turn IK off for the boots before you parent them to M3. 15. Open the Props library and then SantaM3. 16. Load the smart props after selecting M3. DAZ Studio users must use the Hat DS prop due to compatibility issues. 17. Select the whole body of the Beard figure and set the morphs to get a good fit with the clothing or change the size. 18. Select the whole body of the Hair figure and set the morphs to either make Santa bald or fit the Hair inside the Hat. 19. Select the whole body of the Pants figure and then set the Fix morph to 1.000 20. Open the Pose library and then SantaM3. 21. Load one of the poses after selecting M3. 22. When you use a pose where the legs are bending you will notice that the leg pokes through the Coat figure. To correct this select the whole body of the Coat and then set the morph dials to get a realistic looking bend. 23. If you use poses not contained in this pack there are several important things to do to get the best effects: Don't bend the legs using the buttocks, use the thighs instead. If you use a pose where the buttocks are bending simply reset them and then bend the thigh instead. The mittens will look terrible with some hand poses, use the Hands RESET pose to reset the hands and keep the rest of your pose intact. To pose the hands use the Grip morph and Thumb morph dials that are in M3's hand. You can also bend M3's middle finger to pose. 24. Due to compatibility issues the items that have fur load with just a plain white material, here's how to set the fur up for your version of Poser: Poser 5 or lower and DAZ Studio- Select the item and load the MAT pose for that item from the SantaM3 Pose library. You might need to alter the strength of the bump map. See your handbook for more info on setting up surfaces and materials. Poser 6 and higher- Go to the materials room and select the item you want to change. Select the material zone you want to change. Load the material from the SantaM3 material library. There are also more complex shaders to give the red material a velvet appearance etc. A set of cartoon shaders is also incuded as a special bonus. The Santa Cartoon material sets up M3's body as a cartoon with the body parts set to invisible for the clothes you will need to set up other items manually using the individual materials. See your Poser handbook for more details on setting up materials in the materials room. It's quite simple though, just remember to select the figure, select the material zone and then load the material from the SantaM3 library. 25. Render your scene. Make sure to render without shadows and with the remove back facing polygons option checked to make sure the beard is rendered correctly. Tips: Should you get any poke-through simply set the body part of M3 that is poking through to invisible or modify your pose a little. I included texture templates for all items so you can make your own textures. You can sell the textures you make or give them away for free.
