Doe for the DAZ Buck
                             Version 1.0 of 17-Sep-2005

                           by David A. Wallace ("davewa")

File's URL:
http://davidwallace2000.home.comcast.net/3rd_dimension/doe_for_the_daz_buck.zip

Compatibility:
PC Only, because of RTEncoder use.  Tested in Poser 5 and Poser 6.  An expert
can probably adapt it for use in Poser 4, assuming that the DAZ Buck is also
adaptable to Poser 4.

DESCRIPTION:

This is a character based on the DAZ Buck.  I built her because my buck looked a
bit lonely, especially in the autumn.  :)  The doe is compatible with the buck's
maps, poses and morphs except for possible problems morphing the shape of the
head (I re-shaped the top of the skull) and, of course, the antlers.


You must own the DAZ Buck to successfully install the Doe, as the doe's OBJ file
has been encoded using RTEncoder and will need the object file installed by the
DAZ Buck package as a key.

The buck is avaialble from DAZ Productions:
http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=334
(This includes the map texture referenced by the "doe map" character.)

RTEncoder is available for free from:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  I'm assuming you un-zip this distribution to your Poser directory (e.g.:
    c:\Program Files\Curious Labs\Poser 5).  This will result in the following
    files and directories being created:
    ...\readme's\davewa\doe_readme.txt
    ...\runtime\geometries\davewa\doe\doe.rte
    ...\runtime\libraries\character\davewa\animals\Doe for DAZ Buck\doe.cr2
    ...\runtime\libraries\character\davewa\animals\Doe for DAZ Buck\doe.png
    ...\runtime\libraries\character\davewa\animals\Doe for DAZ Buck\doe map.cr2
    ...\runtime\libraries\character\davewa\animals\Doe for DAZ Buck\doe map.png

2.  Run RTEncoder.  Select Decode.

3.  Click the "File to Decode" button and browse to the copy of the doe.rte that
    you just installed.

4.  Click the "Key File" button and browse to "blBuck.obj".  If you have a
    standard runtime arrangement and own the DAZ Buck, this file will be in the
    subdirectory
    ...\runtime\geometries\ZygoteAnimals

5.  Click the "Save As" button.  You want to save the decoded file as "doe.obj"
    in the same directory as the doe.rte file was installed into.
      Note: RTEncoder will assume you want to put the file in the diretcory
            that the key file came from, which is not where the doe.cr2 will
            be expecting to find the OBJ.  You must browse back to where the
            doe.rte file was installed!
    If the decode is successful, RTEncoder will say so.

6.  Exit RTEncoder; you're ready to use the doe.
