Quick Start



I guess that many won't look at the detailed manuals at all.
I ask you to reconsider.
Whenever you run into a problem about how a specific feature of SASHA works, many of the answers are in the manuals. PLEASE check these first before posting your question to the forums - it'll require my time to answer your question - time I'd better spend at improving the figure even more!

However, for those impatients among you, here's a walk-though:



Installation

 After you've downloaded SASHA, you have a file sitting in your download folder called "SASHA-16 (2019 Edition).zip".
Screen1
This is a compressed archive and you need a software like "WinRAR" or "7ZIP" (free) to unpack the archive.

 After unpacking you'll have a folder called the same as the ".ZIP" archive. Open it!
It contains all the files that you need for the installation.



The folder "Other Utilities" contains a texture template for the KarinaVagina and some .PNG files which you may (or may not) use to "watermark your renders.
(A little publicity can't be a bad thing, right?)

The "runtime folder is the important one!


You have two options of how to deal with this folder:

Screen3

  1. you can copy the complete folder anywhere you like and add it as an extra library. This is what I suggest for starters!
  2. You can copy the "runtime" folder contained therein into any existing runtime. This is more convenient for more experienced users, however it's more difficult to keep track of installed files in case you should decide to remove SASHA.
In both options the files will automatically integrate into the Poser runtime structure.


Now fire up Poser.

Screen4  If you've chosen to add SASHA as a separate library as described in option 1. above, you must first bind that new library:
Click the "Add new library button" and browse for the "SASHA Library" folder. That's all.

 Your SASHA-16 files will be in libraries "Character", "Pose", and "Materials".

Explore them to see what you've got, then get down to business:



SETTING UP SASHA

Screen5

 For reasons of copyright I can't provide you a ready-to-load figure.

 The base mesh of V4, the Morphs++ package, and all the other morphs are owned by Daz3D, thus I can't distribute them.
You need to own these items in order to make SASHA work!
(You can purchase them at Daz3D.com)

Go to the "Figures" library and open the "SASHA-16" folder, and then the "1 - SASHA-16 SETUP" folder: >>>>>>>



Just follow the numbers:

Screen6

  1. Load the SASHA-16 BASE
    Once it's loaded make sure that you select the BODY actor
  2. Proceed with loading the DAZ morphs "V4 Base" and "V4 Morphs++".
    These are mandatory, otherwise SASHA won't work!
  3. Inject the latest updates
    Do not omit this important step!
  4. Save your current work as a "Preset":
    I've already made the folder "MY OWN PRESETS" for you.
    Save your new SASHA there under a descriptive name.
  5. More SASHA options:
    + Now you can also "activate" the KarinaVagina if you wish to use it.
    + You can also optionally inject a selection of Stephanie4 morphs which I consider useful.

Now might be a good time to save another "Preset"!




If you wish to install more morph packages:

-> Please look in the
"2 - ADDITIONAL MORPHS"
folder.




If you need more help with specific functions, you can use the new "Inline Help" that comes with SASHA-16:

If you see a thumbnail with a little red questionmark ? in the lower right corner:
Click that thumbnail to get more contextual help and information!




Screen7


Now you have a fully functional SASHA-16, tailored exactly to your needs:

 I'd be glad if you take your time to read the full manual too in order to understand all of SASHA's features. It's really worth the time.

 If you have more questions not already covered in the manual, or suggestions for improvements, pls. let me know.

Thank you for trying SASHA-16.
