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

This clothing set is for Daz Studio Genesis 8 Female characters. It includes a bikini/panty, a bra top, and a beach cover.

=======================================================================
INSTALLATION
=======================================================================
The zip file contains this readme, the 'data' folder, and the 'people' and 'runtime' folders. Simply extract it and copy it into your desired mapped directory. For example, if you want it to appear in "My Library", simply extract it there. The same applies if you want it to appear in "My DAZ3D Library" -- simply extract it to this folder under your public documents if that is the case.

========================================================================
FOLDER STRUCTURE
========================================================================
The product should appear in your chosen library like so:
People
--> Genesis 8 Female
--> Clothing
--> Causam
--> SASS (containing the clothing)
--> Iray Materials

=================================
TEXTURES
=================================
In the Runtime folder hierarchy, you will find in addition to the texture files themselves the UV sets for all garments.

COLORS -- You'll notice that there is only one non-seethru mat, "Aqua Girl". This is because the color can be set with the "Base Color" slider to ANYTHING you want it to be for the material. So while it's called "Aqua Girl", it can just as easily be "Fire Engine Red Girl" by simply adjusting the color slider to your liking.

=================================
On the dForce sims:
=================================

dForce has been applied and baked in to all of the garments. There is a PRE-SIM large breast adjustment morph for the beach cover. It is important to apply this before running a simulation if your model has larger than standard breasts.

The bikini top is usually fine without running a sim, however, it will look better if you do, as it tightens up the material in the cleavage and on the side of the character's breasts for a more realistic look.

The panties have 12 morphs for achieving an excellent fit on any character, but you can run the simulation just to tighten the waistband on either side of the character's abdomen. I recommend running the sim with memorized pose turned "Off" and setting the Panty thickness morph to "0". Then run the sim and stop it almost immediately -- you only need enough to overcome the Daz tendency to warp material to conform. Of course, you're welcome to run the sim any way you like. In many cases it isn't necessary at all for the panties, but it's a tool I've put in your hands to achieve the best possible result.
