For using this product you need to have Mavka from smay available at Renderosity


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

Unzip all files into you Poser directory

All clothes in this set can only be used with the Poser Cloth Room

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


All clothes are loading textured into the scene.  

 

Templates for the shirts can be found in the folder 
 
Runtime\textures\KARANTA\MavkaSkirts_KW
=======================================================================================


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: 

Load Mavka into your scene: 

- Click on Mavka, then on "Figure --> Use Inverse Kinematics and make sure all is unchecked.
- Click on  "Window - Joint Editor" , select Mavka and click on "Zero Figure"

- Open your props library folder and load one of the skirts 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 skirt - it will be listed under props - then hit Clothify to exit the dialog box.

Select Collide Against, then Add/Remove, and choose Mavka and the top you want to use together with the skirt.
(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 Mavka displayed.
You may want to enable the 'Start draping from zero pose' option.  

(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). 


::::::: Suggestion from me :::::::

Change collision offset and depth both to 0.5
==============================================

- Click on "ok"


(You need to make two seperate simulations. One for the top you use and one for the skirt)


If you left the default settings (30 frames), go to about frame 15 and add a pose to Mavka. 
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 "calculate 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 you'll have a lot of fun with your new set :)

Happy Rendering :)
