Accessory Pack For Pandorian's Wrestling Ring - Gen. 2..... Copyright by Jose Lebron (aka Pandorian) 2008 All of this product's content was created by Pandorian. CONTACT DETAILS: AUTHOR: Pandorian DESCRIPTION AND CONTENTS: This is an accessory pack for my "Pandorian's Wrestling Ring - Gen. 2" consisting of a pair of matching steps, an "open cage" with poseable door and latch and a set of 15 "action" wrestling poses designed specifically to take advantage of the morphing ropes, morphing turnbuckles and morphing skirts of the "Pandorian's Wrestling Ring - Gen. 2". To take full advantage of the PRECISE positioning of these poses, you MUST already own my "Pandorian's Wrestling Ring - Gen. 2". The accessory pack also includes an "enclosed cage" designed specifically for my "Pandorian's Wrestling Ring - Gen. 2" but will fit most any other ring with some adjustments. This enclosed cage comes with a poseable door, locking and unlocking latch, and two ceiling panels that collapse, allowing you to toss wrestlers through the top of the cage into the ring below! The collapseable ceiling panels are labeled "Cage Top Collapse C" and "Cage Top Collapse B", which line up with the "B" and "C" posts of the "4-Sided Morphing Wrestling Ring". "Cage Top Collapse C" has a parameter dial (labeled "COLLAPSE PANEL C") which will allow you to collapse that panel WITHOUT bending or twisting (for those occasions when you want the collapsed panel to hang "still"). "Cage Top Collapse B" however has TWO Morphing Dial parameters (labeled "MORPH 1 - PANEL B" and "MORPH 2 - PANEL B") which will allow you to DISTORT the collapsing panel by bending and twisting it to your desire (to simulate actual collapsing phase of your scene in action). You can use either dial separately or combined for even more versatility. As an added bonus, the top of the enclosed cage and its two collapseable panels, each side of the ring as well as the door and latch can be made "invisible" for rendering versatility. Since the cage is made up of 9 separate objects which are parented to each other, you also have the ability to load ONLY the cage parts you desire, as well as allowing you to really get creative by collapsing whatever sections of the cage you desire, to lay on the ground or on a wrestler! So let the mayhem begin!! If you don't have the desire to load/build the cage piece by piece, you can simply load the "Complete Cage" with just one click! THE CHOICE IS YOURS! The stairs are "fitted" and upon loading, land in their exact location at the "B" and "D" corner posts. The poses were designed for use specifically with the "open cage" using M3 as the model, but with minor adjustments, will work with just about any other Millenium Figure. Each of the 15 poses were designed so that they land "exactly" in place whether it be at the top of the "open cage", the middle of the ropes, under the skirt, in mid air or on top of the turnbuckle. There is NO need to move the models after the pose is applied..... just spin the necessary rope, turnbuckle or skirt dials to the specified value, and the pose is perfected to the most minute detail (such as grasping the rope, your opponent, skirt, cage, etc.). The values are located in the Pose Library itself as readable PNG files and are directly above each corresponding pose, so there is NO guess work or hunting to find the right dial value. The "Morphing Table" can be used with or without the use of my "Pandorian's Wrestling Ring Gen.2". Simply set the dial to the instructed value indicated by the PNG file right above the pose for it and then apply the "breakable table" poses to your models and you're good to go! RESTRICTIONS: Poser 5, 6 or 7 (not tested in Poser 4) REQUIREMENTS: Poser 5, 6 or 7, "Pandorian's Wrestling Ring - Gen. 2" INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Extract to archive to the Poser 5, 6 or 7 install directory. USEAGE INSTRUCTIONS: After you load your models (wrestlers), and your "Pandorian's Wrestling Ring - Gen. 2" follow the instructions below to load your Cage, Stairs, Morphing Table and for applying the Poses to your wrestlers: LOADING THE RING STAIRS: Navigate to your "PROPS" library and load both your stair props ("4-Sided Ring Stairs B" and "4-Sided Ring Stairs D"). There is NO need to move the stairs as they both load EXACTLY where they are meant to be placed. LOADING THE OPEN CAGE: Navigate to your "PROPS" library and load your cage ("4-Sided Ring Cage"). Once again, there is NO need to move the cage as it lands exactly where it is supposed to be placed. The "4-Sided Ring Cage" is actually made up of 3 separate objects.... the cage, the door and the latch. OPENING/CLOSING THE OPEN CAGE DOOR: After the cage is loaded, make sure "Door_1" is selected from the document preview window's drop down menu. Then go to its corresponding parameter dials and turn the dial labeled "DOOR Close - Open" (located between"zScale" and "xRotate" dials) and turn towards the right to open and towards the left to close. UNLOCKING/LOCKING OPEN CAGE DOOR HANDLE: After the cage is loaded, make sure "Door Handle_1" is selected from the document preview window's drop down menu. Then go to its corresponding paramatere dials and turn the dial labeled "HANDLE UnLock - Lock" towards the left to unlock the door (raises the latch) and towards the right to lock the door (lowers the latch). LOADING AND SPLITTING MORPHING TABLE: Navigate to your "PROPS" library and load your breakable table ("Morphing Table"). Turn the dial labeled "Break Table" to the desired setting for your intended pose. **** NOTE: P5 users rendering scenes with the "Morphing Table" MUST read and adhere to one of the rendering requirements listed in the "RENDERING REQUIREMENTS" section below. APPLYING POSES AND THEIR SETTINGS: Navigate to your Poses library and open the folder labeled "Pandorian" then select "4-Sided Ring Poses" subfolder. Apply your desired pose. Keep in mind that for the majority of the poses there are two sets. One labeled "...Aggressor" and another matching one labeled "...Victim". Poses featuring the "textured model" for each set refers to the position of your model will take when applied. To further distinguish each set of poses, those labeled "...Aggressor" also determine the position your model will take as well as refer to the "textured" model of the PNG file. To apply the rope, turnbuckle, skirt or break table settings, simply apply the values listed in the text PNG above each set of poses. NOTE: The poses in this Accessory Pack were designed using an "UN-MORPHED" M3 figure and will position M3 EXACTLY where they were meant to land, however, applying "morphs" (Muscular 1, Muscular 2, Muscular 3) to your M3 mode may result in the need for minor adjustment of some poses. RENDERING REQUIREMENTS: **** "MORPHING TABLE" RENDERING REQUIREMENTS FOR "POSER 5" USERS: Due to the "splitting" nature of the "Morphing Table" and the way it was designed, special attention needs to be made when rendering scenes using the "Morphing Table". "P5 users" are required to use either of the following settings to prevent distortion of the table: P5 USERS RENDERING WITH FIREFLY RENDERER: 1. Select "FIREFLY" for "Render Settings" 2. Select "Production" for "Render Quality" 3. Place a check mark for "Raytracing" 4. Placing a check mark for "Cast Shadows" as a matter of preference. Otherwise, everything else should be un-checked. P5 USERS RENDERING WITH POSER 4 RENDERER: 1. Select "Poser 4 Renderer" for "Render Settings" 2. Select "Production" for "Render Quality" 3. Place check marks for "Anti-Alias", "Use Bump Maps", "Use Texture Maps" and as a matter of preference "Cast Shadows". Otherwise, everything else should be un-checked LOADING THE ENCLOSED CAGE: After you load your models (wrestlers), and your "4-Sided Morphing Wrestling Ring" (or other ring), navigate to your "PROPS" library then select the folder "Pandorian", Open the folder labeled "Enclosed Cage - 4 Sided". You can either load the "Complete Cage" or choose to build/load ONLY specific parts of the cage. APPLYING POSES AND MORPHS ON ENCLOSED CAGE: To apply poses to the door, make sure "CAGE DOOR" is selected in your Document Preview Window and then use the parameter dial labeled "DOOR CLOSE - OPEN" (located between"zScale" and "xRotate" dials). To unlock or lock the doors latch, make sure "CAGE DOOR LATCH" is selected in your Document Preview Window and then use the parameter dial labeled "LATCH UNLOCK - LOCK" (located between" xRotate" and "xTran" dials). To collapse panel "C" of the cage roof, make sure "CAGE TOP COLLAPSE C" is selected in your Document Preview Window, then use the parameter dial labeled "COLLAPSE PANEL C". To collapse panel "B" of the cage roof, make sure "CAGE TOP COLLAPSE B" is selected in your Document Preview Window, then use the parameter dials labeled "MORPH 1 - PANEL B" and/or "MORPH 2 - PANEL B". MAKING ENCLOSED CAGE PARTS INVISIBLE: Make sure whatever cage part you want to make invisible is selected in your Document Preview Window, then go to your Parameter Dials window, select the "Properties" tab, and uncheck the box labeled "Visible". **NOTE: Due to the "parenting" nature of the enclosed cage objects, when loading objects piece-by-piece, the "door" and "door handle" objects are loaded as ONE object as the handle needs to remain parented to the door. If you want to remove (or NOT load the handle object) you can either load the door object and make the handle invisible or select the handle after the door loads and delete it.
