Kabuki is a clothing and texture set for our asian character Youko. You get the original Youko custom morph and her basic textures, a fantastic set of handpainted Kabuki and Kumadori masks and a gorgeous set of stage clothes. Kabuki is fully compatible with the Youko character. If you own both sets you can mix and match all textures and create even more fantastic looks. -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6 or higher, Poser 5 with limitations -------------------------------------- Ownership Statement: All of the content in this package was created by SaintFox and Digital-Lion, and may include derivatives of the following merchant resources: Photographs by 3dsk Fabric Store Bundle by PG-Grafics 20 Oriental and Brocade Fabric by LadyBea V4 Ultra Morphs 2 MERCHANT RESOURCE KIT by RuntimeDNA ------------------------------------------- V4 Ultra Morphs Set2 Merchant Resource Kit License.

Runtime DNA User Name: SaintFox Runtime DNA Order Number for 'V4 Ultra Morphs Set2': 111924 Contact Email Address: products@saintfox.de -------------------------------------- Needed Files: Victoria 4.2 and her base and ++ morphs -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Run Winzip or another zip-program and point it your Poser directory. All files will be placed as shown below from the Filelist. Be sure to check the "Use folder names" option when unzipping and point Winzip to your Poser directory. The material-poses can be moved to another folder in the corresponding library but the textures and the morph deltas must stay as is, otherwise the material-poses will not work. Please unzip both zip files first before starting the first scene with Youko - otherwise you will recieve several error messages because of missing textures. IMPORTANT! The "Youko for V4" character set and the "Kabuki for Youko" product share several files (delta injectors). If you already own the Youko character or add it later when the Kabuki pack is already installed you will get an alert that files will be overwritten. You can allow this as the new files are acutally the same that you already have. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: This package can only be used in Poser 5, 6, 7 and Pro with Victoria 4. Be sure you have the latest version of Poser. If you want to use the set in Poser 5 you may encounter different results from those showed in the promotional images as P5 doesn't support ambient occlusion. However,you will not get an error when using the Youko MATs in P5. IMPORTANT!!! The use of the dynamic clothes is explained in the detailed Tutorial that you will find under Runtime-->DL_YoukoKabuki docs-->Kabuki-Tutorial.txt This tutorial contains important informations about how to set up the clothes in the clothing room. We highly recommend to read it, even if you are already an experienced cloth room-user!! The textures and material shaders for the clothes can be found in the material library in the folder "DL Kabuki". Using the Youko character: Start a new scene and load your V4 character. You will find two seperate morphs for each, head and body. With the REM-Poses you can return to the default Victoria. The morphs are custom made and some additional finetuning was made with a handful of DAZ morphs. You can use the morphs as they are or combine them with any third-party morph you like and achieve new, unique looks by adjusting the strenght of the morphs. The body-texture for Youko takes care of the genital-morph that is slightly different from the classic V4-shape. It will look different when you use it with other morphs than Youko! You have the choice between a set of textures that include Ambient Occlusion (AO) and as set without AO. If you want to us a lightset that uses Ambient Occlusion you may want to prefer the set without AO to avoid artifacts in your render. If you use light without AO you may prefer the AO sets as they offer better shadows. Choose the AO or NonAO folder and click the "Base ! TexFull"-button - and you're done, Youko is ready to pose. We recommend that you stay within one set, either with AO or without to stay with one "look" from tip to toe. The three "Base" material poses will set all materials of body, head and the complete figure to default. Beside the eyebrows that are already included in the face-textures we offer several settings for the transmapped eyebrows that come with V4. You'll find two buttons to turn them on and off and several color options that should match all natural hair-colors. The transmaps cover the brows that are on the head textures completely. They are ideal if you want to have colored brows on the Kabuki Masks as they all come with brows that are covered with makeup, like you may know it from real Kabuki actors. If you want to use the masks in an authentic way you can leave the Kabuki makeups as they are, with just the bump and a slight color from the brows shining through the white paint or use the trans-option. We highly recommend the use of the Firefly-renderer (with the best settings your pc supports) to get the most out of Youko's textures and settings! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \Runtime\Textures\!SaintFox\Kabuki\ KabukiMU01.jpg KabukiMU02.jpg KabukiMU03.jpg KabukiMU04.jpg KabukiMU05.jpg KabukiMU06.jpg KabukiMUDaily.jpg KabukiMUOnnagata.jpg Kabuki_BrowTRANS.jpg Kabuki_EyesBUMP.jpg Kabuki_EyesDBrown.jpg Kabuki_EyesTRANS.jpg Kabuki_EyesurfBUMP.jpg Kabuki_Face.jpg Kabuki_FaceBUMP.jpg Kabuki_FaceSPEC.jpg Kabuki_Lashes.jpg Kabuki_Limbs.jpg Kabuki_LimbsBUMP.jpg Kabuki_LimbsSPEC.jpg Kabuki_Teeth.jpg Kabuki_TeethBUMP.jpg Kabuki_Torso.jpg Kabuki_TorsoBUMP.jpg Kabuki_TorsoSPEC.jpg Kabuki_TorsoSimple.jpg Kabuki_TorsoSimpleBUMP.jpg Kabuki_TorsoSimpleT.jpg feetbot_cherryblack.jpg feetbot_cherryred.jpg feetbot_dragonwhite.jpg feetbot_redsymbol.jpg feettop_cherryblack.jpg feettop_cherryred.jpg feettop_dragonwhite.jpg feettop_redsymbol.jpg topback_blackcherry.jpg topfront_redsymbol.jpg topfront_whitedragon.jpg \Runtime\DL_YoukoKabuki docs\ Readme.txt license.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ USEAGE RESTRICTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As per enclosed Renderosity MarketPlace Licence
