ABOUT ZANDRA

Zandra is the ultimate Remote Controlled Deformers character for Poser 6 or above. Based on native Poser magnets, Zandra contains NO MORPHS (other than the face INJ). The deformers she's made of obey to her built in dials, pretty much like morphs, but unlike morphs, the magnets allow you to conform ANY clothing to the Zandra's body in one click.

Get Zandra and you won't need to worry about what morphs are included in clothing again!

USING ZANDRA

 

Step1: Loading Victoria4

Load any version of Victoria4 by Daz.

 

 

 

Step2: Loading Zandra

Find Zandra under your Props>!!Zandra V4 folder, and load her with Victoria4 selected. A gold Z icon will popup, select it and under parameters you will find all the Zandra dials. The V4 body will change to Zandra.

 

 

 

Step3: Loading Clothing

Load your favorite V4 clothes and conform them. The clothes don't seem to fit well

 

 

Step4: Magnetizing Clothing

Go to your Pose>!ZandraV4Pose folder and find the !Magnetize Clothing pose. Select the clothing and run the pose on every clothing item. The clothes will now fit Zandra perfectly!

To activate the V4's built-in magnets on the clothing, run the !Magnetize to V4 pose wich comes with Victoria4

 

 

Step5: Using the Zandra's dials

Use the Zandra dials and watch how the clothing fits to any new shape!

 

 

Step6: Clothing fit poses

Some clothing conform better than other, and some clothing may present pokethroughs when conforming to Zandra. We've added a set of poses to help the clothing fit. If you are using Zandra with large chest sizes, some poketrough may appear at the clothing underbreast area. Use the -ClothingFit pose with the clothing item selected to fix it

 

 

Step6-2: Clothing fit poses

The same clothing after applying the pose

 

 

Step6-3: Clothing Fit poses

In case of clothing not fitting the Zandra's nipples, we've provided a NipplesOff pose that will disable those if applied on V4. Also, the nipples size can be adjusted with the Zandra's dials, specially the NippleSize one.

USING THE FIXER

 

Step7: The Fixer

Zandra comes with a second Remote Controlled Deformer set that is for clothing. This set is named The Fixer, and it's designed to be loaded on the clothing, not on V4.

 

 

Step7-2: The Fixer

If you are using Zandra with big chest settings, you may find pokethroughs on the chest area, even after using the -ClothingFit pose. In these cases the help of The Fixer is required

 

 

Step 7-3: The Fixer

Simply select the clothing item affected and load ZandraTheFixer on it. Nothing will change but a blue F icon will popup. Select that icon and you will find an new set of dials under parameters. Those dials affect exclusively the clothing and will allow you to make any clothing fit the Zandra's chest area

 

 

Step 7-4: The Fixer

The same clothing as above fixed using The Fixer dials. The Fixer comes with a built-in utility named Center that is good to simulate tension and natural behaviour on the front part of small tops or bikini's front straps.

USING 2 CHARACTERS OR MORE

 

Step8: Multicharacter

If you want to use more than one character with Zandra in thesame scene,just save the different characters you want tousewith their different clothing, and open a new scene.

 

 

Step8-2: Multicharacter

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 ZandraV4 in the scene may load with strange deformations on the clothing. This is a Poser bug that has nothing to do with ZandraV4.

 

 

Step8-3: Multicharacter

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.

USING PROPS

 

Step9: Deforming Props

ZandraV4 can deform props like collars 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 collar it must be parented to the neck, so you have to change the name to "neckprop".

 

 

Step9-2: Deforming Props

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. The Daz Studio version doesn't accept the Magnetize Props feature.

Happy rendering!!
