"Rename Material Zones" (male version) - copyright 2013 Thank you for purchasing the "Rename Material Zones" (male version) script set. The new "Genesis 2" family brought material zones with new names. So many old material files, using .dsa .PZ2 formats, will not work in Genesis 2. "Rename Material Zones" was created to solve this issue and increase the backward compatibility. There are two scripts : one to change the material zone names to allow the use of the old material files, and one to revert this changes. Both scripts also works with the "Genesis 2 Male Genitalia" figure. ------------------------------------------------------------- REQUIREMENTS -This product is for DAZ Studio only, and requires a stable DS 4.6.1.17 version or above, with the Genesis 2 Male figure installed. -Not intended to be used on Poser. -Not intended to be used on DS 4.5 or bellow. ------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLING THE FILES Installing Genesis stuff is an easy task. It's just like you do with poser files. The difference is that you don't place the files in your "Runtime" folder, you will place it in "My Library" folder from Daz Studio 4.6. -Decompress the provided file in a folder; -Select and copy the "My Library Folder"; -Go to the "Documents\Daz3d\Studio" folder; -Paste the previous copied folder and click "Yes" to replace/add the files. Default locations of the "My Library" folder : -XP: C:\Documents and settings\USERNAME\documents\Daz3d\Studio -Vista or Win7 : C:\Users\USERNAME\documents\Daz3d\Studio -Mac : MacHD/Users/USERNAME/Documents/Daz3d/Studio Caution : You may find 2 folders in "documents\Daz3d" directory : "Studio" and "Studio4". The "My Library" folder is in the "Studio" folder. Don't try to create a new folder in "Studio4", it will not work. ------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO USE IT - The scripts are located at "My Library->People->Genesis 2 Male->Scripts->Poison->Material Zones". To rename the material zones and allow the use of old material files : -Select the Genesis 2 Male or the Genesis 2 Male Genitalia figure; -Apply the script "1-Rename Material Zones Male.dse"; -Apply the old material file from your library. Eventually you will need to adjust the UV mapping on the surfaces tab. and if you want to revert these changes : -Select the Genesis 2 Male figure; -Apply the script "2-Reestablish Material Zones Male.dse"; ------------------------------------------------------------- TIPS -You can create a shortcut to the scripts. Locate it in the Content Library and right-click over the script icon. Choose "Create Custon Action". Now you can access this script from the main menu, under the "Scripts" item. -------------------------------------------------------------- LIMITATIONS - Due the hard differences between the material zones's name, this script will NOT prepare the "Genesis 2 Male Genitalia" to receive M4 materials. Furthermore, M4 materials were not prepared to be used on a geografted figure. -------------------------------------------------------------- OWNERSHIP STATEMENT All content in this package was created by Poison. -------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL NOTES Fell free to contact me by mail or PM if you have problems. poison_re at ymail.com -------------------------------------------------------------- FILE LIST .\ EndUserLicense.txt Poison_Rename_Mat_Zones_readme.txt .\My Library\People\Genesis 2 Male\Scripts\Poison\Material Zones\ 1-Rename Material Zones Male.png 1-Rename Material Zones Male.dse 2-Reestablish Material Zones Male.png 2-Reestablish Material Zones Male.dse .\My Library\data\Poison|Scripts\RenameMatZones\ Reestablish Material Zones_Male.dse Rename Material Zones_Male.dse
