With this product you own the perfect solution for all your portrait renders. -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6/7, Pro and Poser 8, NOT fully supported in DAZ Studio (you can obtain the newest poserversion here: http://store.smithmicro.com/) -------------------------------------- Ownership Statement: All of the content in this package was created by SaintFox and tabala. ----------------------------------------------------- Needed Files: Victoria 4 to use the poses and expressions, lights,backdrop and camera presets will work with any figure (you can get Victoria 4 base here : http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/-/victoria-4-2?item=4783) ----------------------------------------------------- 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 poses, expressions, cameras and light sets can be moved to another folder in the corresponding library but the textures must stay where they are, otherwise the light sets will not work as expected. You will find your new content in the folders: Runtime\Libraries\Camera\! Tab Perfect Portrait3\ Runtime\Libraries\Face\!

Tab Perfect Portrait3\ -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: This package can be used in Poser 6 and up. Be sure you have the latest version of Poser. The IBL light sets will not work in DAZ Studio as DS uses a different kind of IBL lighting.The non IBL sets can be used in DAZ Studio but may give different results from what you see on the promotional images and the thumbnails. When exploring the camera settings you'll find that they correspond with the poses - but of course you are not limited to the recommendations we made. Feel free to experiment, mix and match poses, cameras, expressions and lights! Maybe you need to tweak the camera settings a bit but you'll find that there is more than one image in each of the poses and another good way to catch your favorite character at it's best is rotating the body! Some with the lights, especially several of the front-, back- and face-light sets contain lights that either point to a bodypart of your figure or are parented to it. So be sure to add your figure first before you decide for a light set. Once applied you will see that these lights move with the figure while you pose it - and of course you can try out a front- or backlight for a totally different pose and maybe create something unusual!! A hint for all users of Poser 8: Since SR1 you are able to adjust the shadow sampling of raytraced shadows. So if you find your raytraced shadows looking brittle and kind of "dirty" you are able to increase the shadow sampling above the standard value of 19 to achieve smoother results. Important: We recommend to delete all lights from the scene before you add a (new) lightset. You can do so by calling the script "Delete all lights" from your Script Menue or Python window or use the included "lightset" we added to the lightfolder of Perfect Portrait. The expressions shown in the thumbnails are created with V4 without any character morphs applied. The final look of the expression highly depends on the character morph you use and light and bodypose have a big influence on the mood created by an expression as well! It is always a good idea to render a small test-image first before you decide for the final composition of pose, light, camera and expression. It was the intention to create realistic poses for V4 with bending the figure to her limits and sometimes above the limits. So some break-throughs can be shown by using extreme poses because of the peculiarity of the figure V4. We highly recommend the use of the Firefly-renderer (with the best settings your pc supports) to get the most out of this set! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perfect Portrait3- Eyecatcher - easy render suggestions: If you like to get an instant result... We used these scenesetups for the promotional renders and thumbnails ;) To get depht in the render please add a polygon background or use one of the included portrait backs (no backgroundimage). Because working with scenelight the included backdrops will match everytime.
