But maybe you want just a normal skull, to litter about your scenes….. well, you can do that too! The set comes with a plain skull material and a myriad of morphs to change the expression and style. The plain skull textures also have baked ambient occlusion for natural depth and shadowing. Additionally, the Jaw on the figure hinges and you can hide the fangs and teeth, or the entire jaw.

Also included as a bonus, is a special drippy candle that rests upon the skull, for your alchemist apothecary’s or an evil queen’s wicked den. The candle has subsurface scattering, and the flame emits light. Easily change the color of the candle as well, as it has its own MATs.

Take your creepiest scenes one step further!

..:: USING THE CONTENTS ::..
Using the contents of this set is pretty simple; just browse to your figures library and locate the “Phantoms” folder within. Just click the Phantoms figure to load.

The skull contains many morphs, which should be dialed from the BODY actor when using (or “Phantoms” in DS) The first set is a series of trail morphs, which are designed to work with the flame materials (as using these on the natural texture would look weird) These morphs will create trails on the figure, which gives it its Phantom look.

The next series of morphs are Expressions, and these can be used with any of the textures (but are more intended for the natural skull texture) These will give the skull personality, whether he looks angry, happy, surprised, etc.

Last but not least, are style morphs. These will change the style of the skull… such as elongating it, giving it an alien look, creating spikes and more.

There are materials for the skull, which are flame colors, natural (to make the skull look normal) and utility mats that will turn off certain pieces, allowing more versatility.

PROPS:
Included in the set is a melty candle, which perches perfectly atop the skull (and parents to it) This is for apothecary styled renders, or a wicked queens lair. There are 7 mat colors for the candle itself, and the flame emits light in Poser 9/2012 or higher. To make it emit light, you must have IDL enabled, and something for it to cast light against.

The candle mats also contain SSS (which will require UberSurface for DS – Poser 9/2012 and SSS enabled on your render settings)

===== OTHER NOTES: =====
Color coded and labeled templates for all figures and props are available, so you can make your own textures.

Skull figure has blank injection channels for custom morph support

The thumbnails for the files are the standard 91X91 resolution, so that they will show properly in DAZ Studio. If you are a poser 5 or higher user and prefer the larger thumbnails (which are 125×125 in size), you can download them here: Phantoms

Please Note:
Bigger thumbnails will NOT work in DAZ Studio, nor lower versions of Poser, so only download these if your using Poser 5 and higher.

Instructions to install larger thumbnails:
These are set up to the same exact locations as the original sets thumbnails. To install, simply unzip it to your Poser Runtime, and overwrite the old thumbnails.

===== POSER INSTRUCTIONS: =====

..:: USING THE CONTENTS ::..
Using the contents of this set is pretty simple; just browse to your figures library and locate the “Scorpion God” folder within. Just click each one to load. To conform in Poser, go to figure/conform to and select Michael 4 in the dropdown list, then hit ok. You can also drag/drop all the pieces at once to conform to M4 if you are using Poser 2010 (P8) or higher. To conform in DS, simply left click on the outfit piece and hit “fit to” and choose Michael 4.

All the pieces in the set contain many morphs, which are intended for Morphs ++ and Elite. The outfit is also superconforming. Aside from Fit Morphs, there are also adjustment morphs on all the pieces (which will further help combat any pokethru you’d encounter) Last but not least, there are movement morphs for the skant and loin cloth, which will aid with posing M4’s legs. While the Skant has bodyhandles, the leg movement morphs will work best.

Aside from the outfit itself, there are also 2 full mats included for the whole outfit (and sword to match) as well as a myriad of utility mats which will allow you to turn off certain parts with ease, so you can have even more versatility.

Also included is a Khopesh, which has left and right hand parents. This sword also works with the poses (see below for more details) There are also mats included that will match the outfit mats, so you can acheive a seamless effect (or you can mix them if you’d like) Keep in mind, if you are using Poser especially, that pz2 mats can sometimes not work with props, because they require an actor to be in the scene – if you find you have trouble loading the sword mats, there are mc6 sword mats also included (and these will work flawlessly, even if the sword is loaded by itself with no actor)

Finally, there are 20 poses included.

The first 10 are Egyptian-esque poses and dont require the sword.
11-15 are for the left hand sword.
16-20 are for the right hand sword.

In order for these to work properly, you must load the correct sword hand with the pose you are wanting to use, then, after it has loaded to her hand, use the pose (in Poser, DS3 and lower) If you are using DS4, you will have to apply the poses to both M4 and the sword, for proper alignment. That is a DS4 only issue, however.

If you purchased Guardians of the Dead, you will get 5 extra textures to use on this set. They are named and colored after the gods of Egypt: Anubis, Horus, Ra, Sobek and Thoth. These are mostly pz2 files, which are pretty straightforward – the sword textures that match are also provided in mc6 format (as prop’s are quite fickle with pz2 mats, so should you encounter issues using the pz2’s, the mc6’s are there as a backup plan)

===== OTHER NOTES: =====
Color coded and labeled templates for all figures and props are available, so you can make your own textures.

All figures have blank injection channels for custom morph support

The thumbnails for the files are the standard 91X91 resolution, so that they will show properly in DAZ Studio. If you are a poser 5 or higher user and prefer the larger thumbnails (which are 125×125 in size), you can download them here: Scorpion God | Guardians of the Dead Thumbnails

Please Note:
Bigger thumbnails will NOT work in DAZ Studio, nor lower versions of Poser, so only download these if your using Poser 5 and higher.

Instructions to install larger thumbnails:
These are set up to the same exact locations as the original sets thumbnails. To install, simply unzip it to your Poser Runtime, and overwrite the old thumbnails.

KNOWN ISSUES
As covered in the instruction section, when using the conforming clothing in Poser, you may need to use the Magnetize clothing to M4 poses (which come with M4) so that absolutely no poke thru will occur.
