VICTOR FOR V4: V4 MALE UTILITY Beta VersionBy Gregory H. Bontrager(c) December 2010PREREQUISITES: Victoria 4.2, V4 Morphs++, Vittorio 4.2, Stephanie 4DESIGN & INTENTThe Victor for V4 is intended as a convenient base for creating custom male characters for V4 or an easy way to give your favorite female character a sex change (with more authentic results than any surgery can yield). While M4's default face is that of a character unrelated to V4, the face morph provided in this pack seeks only to create a masculine version of V4's default face. So while creating a male version of a normal V4 character from M4 would probably take a while of trial-and-error to arrive at a convincing but still manly resemblance, the Victor morphs turn the process into a simple matter of applying the female face morph and then dialing up "Victor Face." This morph set creates no new geometry but merely creates three "master" dials that automatically change the values of several third-party "slave" dials at a given ratio. The Victor Face dial on the Head has an effect which is explained above. The Victor Scaling dial controls height and relative proportions of the head, chest, hands, feet, and legs. The Victor Body dial controls the shape of the figure. Dialing all three to a value of 1 will give you a fully male figure whose stature closely matches that of M4.Also included is a fit pose and trans map for the M4 Genitals as well as a shortcut pose that automatically INJects all required third-party morph packs.INSTRUCTIONS1) Load Victoria 4.22) Find the Victor folder in the Poser library.3) Select "!Victor_Prep_INJ" to INJect all required third-party morph packs (if you haven't already done so).4) Select "!Victor_Main_INJ."5) If the chest does not appear larger or the areolae appear too pointy, use the quick fixes given below.5) Enjoy!KNOWN ISSUESFor some reason I have yet to determine, the INJection of the Victor morphs seems to render the ChestSize morphform on the affected body part (the Chest) no longer dependent on the corresponding dial on the full Body. A separate "Restore_Chest_Size" INJection is provided to counteract this phantom effect, and unless you somehow do not experience it, applying it is necessary in order to achieve the desired proportions.These restorations were not incorporated into the main INJections because doing so would cause a doubling effect when the Victor morphs were INJected along with a similarly constructed setup. For example, Lil' Vicky (my juvenile base morph for V4, of which I have also released a beta version) presents a similar issue. If the required restorations were assimilated into their respective sets' main INJections, each would work fine on its own, but if you applied one and then the other, the accumulated restorations would create dependencies twice as powerful as they should be.If the areolae appear too pointy upon INJection of Victor, the "AreolaPerk" morph needs to be "broken in" by setting its value to any positive integer and then setting it back to 0.CONTACTThis project has frustrated me for months by working smoothly for me but causing random, inexplicable mesh explosions for everyone else who tested him. After the latest tweaks to the V4 Child Beta, which were then retro-applied to Victor since he uses the same technique, at least one user has reported that the pack so far appears to work as intended. This implies that Victor may finally work properly as well. Part of why I am releasing this beta version is to find out if this is indeed the case. I am eager to find out, so please send all feedback to linguaphile@earthlink.net
