Installation Instructions:
-------------------------
All important files are archived with their filepaths intact, so if you extract to your Poser folder everything should go to the right place.  Just to be thorough, however, here are the manual installation paths:

Install the .cr2 file and its .png thumbnail in one of Poser's Runtime\Libraries\Character folders.  The default folder is Starfox\Krystal.

Install the .mc6 files and their .png thumbnails in one of Poser's Runtime\Libraries\Materials folders.  The default folder is Starfox.

Install the .pz2 files, their .png thumbnails, and related .ds files somewhere in Poser's Runtime\Libraries\Pose folders.  The default folder is Starfox\MATs.

Install the .obj file in the \Runtime\Geometries\Starfox folder.

Install the JPEG files in the \Runtime\Textures\Starfox folder.

A UV template is provided in GIF format, should you wish to create your own textures.



Operating Instructions:
----------------------
Select Krystal.  Load the string bikini from the Library.  Conform to Krystal.

Krystal's thighs have built-in magnet deformers, similiar to those of DAZ's Victoria 4.  To reduce pokethrough, Poser users will need to apply the Magnetize utility pose (included with the Krystal base files) to magnetise the bikini.  This step is not necessary in DAZ|Studio, as Studio automatically magnetises conformers.



Notes:
-----
Joint-controlled morphs are utilised to reduce distortion in the bikini bottom.  In Poser, these morphs will automatically bind themselves to the currently-selected figure when loaded.  Therefore, before loading the bikini from the library, make certain that the character intended to wear it is already loaded into the scene and currently selected.

Krystal's accessories are untextured by default.  Use the included .mc6 material collection (in Posers 6-7) or MAT pose (Poser 5) to apply all necessary materials.

Studio users may use the included MAT pose in Pose\Starfox\MATs.  In more recent versions of Studio, this should automatically apply the appropriate DS material presets.

Poser users should enable displacement in their Firefly render options when using the leather-and-mail MAT.

Morphs marked with a "pbm" prefix are part of a set of morphs spanning multiple body parts.  They are controlled from the BODY node.

All morphs and channels are organized using Poser's dial-grouping feature.  Partial-body and joint-controlled morphs have been tucked out of the way in their own PBM and JCM groups.  This feature does not work in versions prior to P5.

This item has matching body morphs, where appropriate.  Poser users will need to set the body morphs manually.  Since all significant controls are located in the BODY root node, it should be a relatively simple matter to copy-and-paste from Krystal to her accessories.

The bikini's ties are posable, via body handles.  The handles will not be visible when rendered in Poser or Studio 3.  For earlier versions of Studio, one must adjust the Handle material's opacity settings before rendering, or otherwise toggle off the handles' visibility.
