V4 Sweet Summer Dress & 4 Styles

==================================================================
(c) karanta / 2007
==================================================================

For using this product you need to have V4 - available at Daz.
This is a dynamic clothing set which can only be used in the Poser Cloth Room.

==================================================================

Unzip all files into you Poser directory

Please follow these steps for your first clothing simulation, or have a look at your 
Poser manual if you are not familiar with the Cloth Room: 

The dress in this set can only be used with the Poser Cloth Room.

Load V4 and the dress into your scene. 

- Click on "Figure --> Use Inverse Kinematics and make sure all is unchecked.
- Click on  "Window - Joint Editor" , select V4 and click on "Zero Figure"
- Open your props library folder and load the dress into your scene.

- Open the Cloth Room and click on "New simulation"
- You can leave the setting as they are or if you just want to make a quicker try - 
  lower the end frame for example to 15.
- Click on "ok"
- Click Clothify and choose the dress - it will be listed under props - 
  then hit Clothify to exit the dialog box.

Select Collide Against, then Add/Remove, and choose V4. 
(The simulation will be quicker if you uncheck all bodyparts which will not affect the cloth)
Hit "ok"

Back in the Collide Against dialog, make sure that the 'Current Collision Object' has V4 displayed.
You may want to enable the 'Start draping from zero pose' option.

:::::: Important: Make sure "Cloth self-collision is checked :::::: 

(Quick hint on Collide settings: 
Collision Offset is the distance of the cloth from the collision object 
and Collision Depth is the thickness of the cloth. 
Play with these numbers as needed to get the results you want). 

Hit "ok"

If you left the default settings (30 frames), go to about frame 20 and add a pose to V4 . 
I never apply the pose in the last (30th) frame. You will get nicer and 
smoother folds if you have some frames after the 
frame you added the pose. When the simulation is finished and the result 
is to smooth for your taste, you can always go a few frames back.

- Click on "start simulation". 

It will take a bit time until the simulation will be done. How much time depends on you computer. 

If you are not satisfied with the result you have, you can play around with the fabric settings. 
Changes in the settings can give a large difference for the end result of the simulation. 
I often use different fabric settings for different poses. 
There is nothing like "best settings" for a pose.  
Please have a look at your manual for further, detailed informations to 
get the best settings for the look you want.

When the simulation is done, go back to the Pose Room, add hair and you are ready for 
making some beautiful renders :)

I hope youŽll have a lot of fun with your new set :)

Happy Rendering :)
