XANNA FOR VICTORIA 4.0, 4.1 AND 4.2 - TUTORIAL

This short tutorial will show you how to use XannaV4 in no time. Just follow the different steps depending if your character is using props, clothing, or if you are using more than one V4. Please follow the instructions if you are planning to use more than one character with XannaV4 in your scene at a time, because some poses work only with the first character in the scene. But this limitation can be bypassed following the Step 4's indications.

 

STEP 1 - CHARACTER CREATION

Start by creating a new scene and loading a Victoria4.0 or higher, like in the image.

Don't load any texture yet, the textures consume RAM and slow down any further

process.

Browse for props/! XannaV4 and double click on !XannaV4 icon. The changes on v4

will appear and a little "X" will show up at the figure's right, below the hip height.

Load your clothing and conform it to the figure. You will notice that the clothing

seems not to conform well.

Go to pose/! XannaV4pose and use the !Magnetize Clothing pose to activate

the XannaV4 magnets on every clothing item. You may also need to run the

DAZ 's !Magnetize to V4 pose if you want to activate the V4's built-in magnets.

XannaV4 is designed to dotate V4 with the best round and good looking breasts.

That special design may drive to pokethroughs or problems conforming some clothes,

specially when using dials like BreastSize or BreastFlatten, or a combination of many

dials

If you see any pokethrough around the breast area after magnetizing the clothing, use the

!Clothing Fit pose on the clothing to fix it. You may also want to disable the XannaV4's

nipples using the !Nipples Off pose, and you're done!

STEP 2 - DEFORMING PROPS  

XannaV4 can deform props like chockers or belts. To do so you need to rename the prop

to the name of the figure part the prop is parented to, followed by "prop". As exemple,

if your prop is a necklace it must be parented to the neck, so you have to change the

name to "neckprop".

Once you have renamed all of the props, run the Magnetize Props pose and all the props

will conform to your character. Please note that due to some internal name limitations the

Disable Duplicated pose don't works with props.

STEP 3 - THE FIXER

 

Some clothing may not conform well, even after using the !Clothing Fit pose. That's the

reason we created The Fixer. As its name says, it can fix any problem on the clothing,

like low poly mesh or unusual designs.

An exemple clothing. We can't fix the pokethrough under the breasts using the

!Magnetize Clothing and the !Clothing Fit poses. Let's load The Fixer,select the

clothing item and doubleclick on The Fixer icon.

Loading The Fixer fixed a part of the problem, and using the FixUpDown dial fixed the

rest. Not all the clothing will require the use of The Fixer, but you can load it on your

clothing anyway, to achieve cool effects with a bit of practice!

An exemple of the The Fixer's utility, creating a nice decollete on the same clothing of

the images above. The Fixer comes with a built-in utility called Center.

Combine XannaV4, The Fixer and Center to make your characters unique!

How to find the dials referred in the instructions above: double click the blue Xanna

icon (X) to find the Xanna's dials. Double click the F to find the Fixer's dials.

STEP 4 - MULTICHARACTER  

Now save your character to the library. This step is important if you want to use more

than one character with XannaV4 at once. Save the different characters you want to use

with their different clothing, and open a new scene.

Use an untextured V4 to make the posing, or load your first character if you want to use

it to do the pose. The first character will load just fine, but the second character with

XannaV4 in the scene may load with strange deformations on the clothing. This is a Poser

bug that has nothing to do with XannaV4.

Use the Disable duplicated pose on every altered clothing item. If you save your scene in

.pz3 you will find duplicated deformers on some clothing piece at the opening. Simply

run the Disable Duplicated pose again. Due to internal names limitations, this pose won't

work with props.
