Abbreviation Key

These are abbreviations used on the morph parameter dials.

U=upper
L=lower

Top

Full Body Morphs

Each body/partial body morph provided with Boris' clothes spans several different body parts. Therefore, morphs with the same name should be set to equal values (i.e., the MusclesNeck morph on the Dress Shirt should be set to the same value on the neck and chest). These body morphs are also set up as full body morphs, and are more easily adjusted by selecting Body from the Current Element popup, then adjusting the dial for the morph you wish to apply.

Applying Clothing Poses

Important Note: The clothing poses are provided for convenience, and are a great time saver once you know how to use them. However, they are not necessary for the clothes to function. The clothing will work as any other morphed clothing does. Clothing morphs have names which correspond to Boris' body morphs. This section is very important to understanding how to use the clothing poses. Please follow the steps of each method to apply a clothing pose. Though the first method is the simplest, it may not work for everyone. The second method should work for everyone.

Method 1

1. Load Boris

2. Load all clothing (from the CDI Boris Clothes sub-category of the Figures library) to use, conforming after each addition. Try the pants and t-shirt.

3. Select Boris (not an item of clothing) and apply any clothing pose numbered 1 (not 1a) from the CDI Boris Clothes sub-category of the Poses library.

The clothing poses numbered 1 work because of cross-talk. They apply body morphs to Boris, and because of cross-talk the body morphs are automatically applied to the clothing. If these poses do not work, you can delete those numbered 1 and 1a and color-coded black; then try poses numbered 2 and color-coded red using the following instructions:

Method 2

1. Load Boris Null (if you plan to use more than one Boris).

2. Load Boris

3. Load all clothing (from the CDI Boris Clothes sub-category of the Figures library) to use, conforming after each addition.

3. Select each item of clothing, and apply a pose numbered 2 (not 2a) from the CDI Boris Clothes sub-category of the Poses library. You must apply the same pose to each item of clothing.

4. Select Boris and apply the same clothing pose as applied in Step 3.

These poses do not use cross-talk, and should work for everyone. They apply the same morphs as the poses numbered 1 via individual body parts, but are for use with two or more figures. If using more than one figure, repeat steps 2 through 4 for the next figure.

Bulk Trim poses apply a bulked look to Boris. MusclesBack and MusclesThigh1 are turned down for bent arm poses and a trim appearance. These poses work good for images where you do not want muscle detail, but want a bulked up look.

Muscles poses apply all Capsces' muscle morphs at their full setting of 1.

Muscles Trim poses are the same as Muscles poses with MusclesBack turned down to accommodate bent arm poses. The MusclesThigh1 morph is also turned down to give a trim appearance. These poses work well for images where you want muscles to show through or under the clothing or when the figure is wearing no shirt.

Trim-No Back poses are the same as Muscles Trim with the MusclesBack1 morph turned off. These poses are good when you need only front musculature or want no muscles on the back. Use it with an open dress shirt.

The dress shirt works only with the Bulk Trim and Trim-No Back poses as it does not have morphs to accommodate the MusclesBack1 morph on Boris.

Poses 1a and 2a

Apply 1a or 2a poses after applying a pose numbered 1 or 2 by selecting the clothing item the pose adjusts, then double-clicking the pose.

Suspenders-NoShirt makes the suspenders look less slack. Use when not using the dress shirt or t-shirt.

Shirt OpenOut unbuttons and untucks the dress shirt.

Shirt Tucked tucks the shirt back in.

T-shirt Out loosens and untucks the t-shirt. This morph does not work that well, but was left in as some might find it useful.

T-shirt Tucked tucks the t-shirt back in.

Other Notes

The length morph on the T-shirt only works with standing poses and has problems when the body is bent. For mild problems, it is possible to select the T-shirt hip from the Current Element pop-up and rotate it slightly to work with your rendering view.

Use the UnbuttonFix morph with the Unbutton and Open morphs of the dress shirt.

When using the tie the MusclesChest morph will need to be adjusted manually.

Set MusclesBack to 0.500 or less with poses where the arms are down.

Morphs for pants and shorts were adjusted to work with the shirts. When using either without a shirt you may wish to turn down BulgeSides and MusclesAbs.

Most dials do not work well over a value of 1 or below a value of -1 where appropriate.

Some morphs do not work well in combination with others.

If you wish to use Boris' clothing with Boris without the Boris figure controlling the morphs, insert the Boris Null figure prior to inserting Boris or the clothing.
