For using this product you need to have Maddie (Preschool girl from Daz)

======================================================================================

Unzip all files into you Poser directory

All clothes in this set can only be used with the Poser Cloth Room.
They were tested with Poser 6 and 7

======================================================================================


All clothes are loading textured into the scene.  

You will find a "Loosen Hem" and "Loosen Front" morph in each shirt.
=======================================================================================


Please follow these steps for your first clothing simulation, or have a look at your 
Poser manual if you are not familiar with the Cloth Room: 

Load Maddie and one of the shirts into your scene: 

- Click on Maddie, then on "Figure --> Use Inverse Kinematics and make sure all is unchecked.
- Click on  "Window - Joint Editor" , select Maddie and click on "Zero Figure"
- Open your props library folder and load the shirt and maybe also a skirt/pants (not included in this set) of your choice into your scene.
- Adjust the shirt with the included morphs


- Open the Cloth Room and click on "New simulation"
- You can leave the setting as they are or if you just want to make a quicker try - lower the end frame for example to 15.
- Click on "ok"
- Click Clothify and choose the shirt - it will be listed under props - then hit Clothify to exit the dialog box.

Select Collide Against, then Add/Remove, and choose Maddie and the skirt or pants you also use. 
(The simulation will be quicker if you uncheck all of Maddies' bodyparts which will not affect the cloth)
Hit "ok". 

Back in the Collide Against dialog, make sure that the 'Current Collision Object' has Maddie displayed.
You may want to enable the 'Start draping from zero pose' option. Make sure "cloth self - collision" is checked.
(Quick hint on Collide settings: 
Collision Offset is the distance of the cloth from the collision object and Collision Depth is the thickness of the cloth. 
Play with these numbers as needed to get the results you want). 

Hit "ok"

If you left the default settings (30 frames), go to about frame 15 and add a pose to Maddie. 
I never apply the pose in the last (30th) frame. You will get nicer and smoother folds if you have some frames after the 
frame you added the pose. When the simulation is finished and the result is to smooth for your taste, you can always 
go a few frames back.

- Click on "start simulation". 

It will take a bit time until the simulation will be done. How much time depends on you computer. 

If you are not satisfied with the result you have, you can play around with the fabric settings. Changes in the settings
can give a large difference for the end result of the simulation. I often use different fabric settings for different poses. 
There is nothing like "best settings" for a pose.  Please have a look at your manual for further, detailed informations to 
get the best settings for the look you want.

When the simulation is done, go back to the Pose Room, add hair and you are ready for making some beautiful renders :)



I hope you'll have a lot of fun with your new set :)

Happy Rendering :)
