Armageddon is the sequel to Airiolus and Beezlebabe, a pack I did a very long time ago. After three years since the first, I finally decided to do a sequel that contained everything I could not acheieve in the first pack, since it was one of my first packs ever. Upgrading it meant including posable figures, better weapons and an explosive amount of killer options, which are sure to make exploring both sides way more fun than the first pack.
The story follows The Archangel, Airiolus and the Demonic Beezlebabe, as they do battle against one another. But in this story, Armageddon, it is the final battle of Good and Evil – and the prize is dominion over Earth. Airiolus will also discover a shocking secret – that the evil vamp, Beezlebabe, is also her sister. Will Good or Evil prevail? That is up to you to decide.

===== POSER INSTRUCTIONS: =====
..:: USING THE CONTENTS ::..
To load the characters, you must load V4.2 into your scene. Make sure she is selected, then browse to your Pose Library, then Armageddon, and you will see all the options. Morph options load all morphs, Apply All Skin options are there for both characters as well (and these you will want to load first, before applying any of the other mats) From there, you may choose the eyes you wish to use, as well as makeup options. Keep in mind, Airiolus’ skin is very different than Beezlebabe’s, so you must load the corresponding mat options, or they will not match. Also keep in mind, their head morphs partially contain customized morphs. The deltas are included in the pack – do not delete them, as the morphs cannot work without them.
The figures included ALL pose and conform to the characters. Airiolus has her pair of Angel wings, and Beezlebabe has a pair of Demon Wings and an Easy Pose Devil Tail. To locate them, you will find them in your figures library, in “Armageddon” Double click each icon to load, and they will automatically be selected in the scene. Go to the top menus of Poser, under figure/Conform To, then select V4 in the dropdown list, hit ok and they will load to the correct locale on her body.
You will also notice in the Pose Library that there are MAT options and poses for the wings, as well as Poses for the tail. You must select the wings or tail in the scene, and click each icon to load. The V4 Poses are labeled with which hand parent to use for the weapons.
The Props included are many. There are two pieces of architecture included for each girl – a dark one and a light one. They also each include an optional prop to make a burst of eternal light, or rising hellfire appear on the prop as a special effect. These will load in place, once you load each piece of architecture, as they are parented to the corresponding props. Continuing on, each girl also has head gear, naturally, as an angel and devil are supposed to have. The Halo included has two material options, with Glitter and Lightning effects. The horns come in both Red and Black. These load to V4’s head, since they are parented, as well. The last set of props each girl has, is a weapon. Airiolus has a Sword of Righteousness, while Beezlebabe, naturally, has a Pitchfork. These props include both Right and Left hand parents, and are also saved with the poses for V4, so they will position perfectly when using them — in order for this to work, you must load the props first and then click the pose.
Lights included (in your Light Library/Armageddon) are designed to set off the shaders in the character mats. For Airiolus, we have 5 bright lights and for Beezlebabe, we have 5 dark lights. To load, simply click on the icons.
===== OTHER NOTES: =====
A complete PDF Tutorial is included in the set. This will install to your Runtime folder, under Tutorial (Armageddon.PDF) It elaborates on instructions, and theres added tidbits you can read at your convenience.
Aside from the character shaders not translating over properly, as is always the case, this set will work beautifully in DAZ Studio. Some adjustments may be necessary, since I have not included separate MATS for DS.
Templates for all figures and props are available, so you can make your own textures.
The thumbnails for the pose and light 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 100×125 in size), you can download them here: Armageddon Thumbs
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
The membrane eye mat does not work with the eye reflections. It is for this reason these eyes have shaders on them, to make them look glossy.
