README
This product contains everything that you need for the Michael 3 figure to function (pose, animate, etc) correctly. However, it does not contain texture maps or extensive morphs. These are sold separately as add-on products to allow for more personalized customization.

In your Figures Library, under the "DAZ People" tab, you'll find three icons for loading the Michael 3 figures and 1 prop:

• "Michael 3" -- A new figure (with a new mesh, joints and maps), with channels ready for loading M3 morphs.
• "M3 BLANK" -- A version of this same figure, only without the channels for morph loading. This figure is intended to assist developers in providing a clean base for building their own morph targets. Morphs CANNOT be loaded on this figure.
• "Mike 3 to Mike 2" -- A different figure (based on the M3 model), designed for compatibility with the poses and most clothing accessories of Michael 1 and 2, and the head morphs of Michael 3. This character contains no morphs in the body of the figure.
• "Michael 3 Genitals" -- An articulate prop intended to be conformed to the Michael 3.0 model.

In your Poses Library you'll find all of the Michael 3 poses, MAT poses, and morph delta poses grouped together. (The M3 categories all begin with an "!".)

• "!DAZ's Michael 3" -- This category contains 20 specific poses designed for the Michael 3 figure.
• "!MAT M3" -- This category contains 10 Material Pose files for changing the Michael 3 model's material settings in various ways.
• Also, you will find a few new categories that begin with "!M3" and end with either "INJ" or "REM". These categories contain morph delta poses, and more will be added to them when you purchase M3 add-on products such as the Michael 3 Head or Body Morph Paks. The inject (INJ) poses will inject morphs into the "Michael 3" figure, where they will show up as Parameter Dials in the Body and Different Body Parts of the Model. The default setting is 0. No change in the figure will occur until this default value is modified. The remove (REM) poses will remove these injected morphs and again hide their associated dials.

Lastly, you will find a "!DAZ" folder inside the Libraries folder of your Poser Runtime Directory. For those copying the files over by hand, it is important that you do not rename or move this folder. It contains the morph target information used in the Michael 3.0 INJection Poses.

Within the Michael 3 Base Pak product are only a few morphs, primarily those associated with posing the figure. Some of these morphs come already contained on the character (CR2) file, and some are supplied with pose files ready to inject and remove from the character file. The morphs supplied with this product include the joint correction morphs (JCM) that are automatically linked with the rotation of joints, and the morphs for expression and speech (such as the Mimic compatible morphs).

**PLEASE NOTE: The Michael 3 mesh and morphs are proprietary. These morphs CANNOT be redistributed in whole or part, either as injection poses (as purchased) or as deltas within a CR2 file. For information on how to legally distribute Michael 3 derivatives or add-on products, please visit our FAQs page.

In order to really explore the versatility of this model, we recommend that you also purchase the Michael 3 Head and Body Morph Paks, which contain morphs for versatility in the design and form of your Michael 3 character. Also, for understanding and easiest use of all of the Michael 3(and also Victoria 3) morphs, we recommend that you check out the FAQs page at DAZ3D for information on how the morphs are ordered on the figure, and how they are named. (For example, conventions such as "JCM" for automatically applied Joint Correction Morphs, and "p" for partial morphs that are intended to be controlled by dials in other body parts.)

Follow these steps to inject the morphs into the figure.

• Load the Michael 3 figure into the scene from the Figures Library.
• Go to the Poses Library.
• Select the morph(s) you wish to use and double click on the icon to add them to the dials. The Michael 3 Figure must be selected.
• It is possible to save out the figure as a new character (CR2) with these morphs loaded. Please see the FAQ for more information on this. It is not permissible to distibute these CR2 files.

As for the replies to emails, it is true that there has been an increase in customer service requests since the release of Michael 3.0. Other factors may also include the learning curve of new employees hired on to help provide better service. A month for a reply sounds very excessive, I agree.
