Jewels make me cry

Hi
I just bought Jepes Jewels and tears V4 and i am having trouble working out how to use this. The instructions say, and i quote...

1. Load Victoria 4 into your scene and turn off IK (in Poser only - Utility “IK Off.pz2”).
2. Load a second Victoria 4 into your scene, turn off IK, conform it to the first figure

Right there in the first move i got lost. I know what IK means, inverse kinetics, i used to have Poser ages back which i never managed to figure out and this IK was in that. Not actually come across it in Daz, However there is a button to turn off IK in the application, so presumably thats the way to do that.
My understanding of the word CONFORM is fit something like a clothing item to a figure. So i assume that i fit one V4 to the other after first having turned off IK...
I have to assume that this means loading a base V4 plus morphs and not a prefigured character.?
This is starting to look like around $15 wasted to me because its just so complicated. Does anyone have any means of explaining how this works in easily understood English please.

    The instructions apply to Poser - in DS you just need to Fit the second V4 to the first. However, you can also load a signle V4, then go to Create>New Geometry Shell... and apply the Jepe materials to the new shell (no need for the morph as, by default, there's a Push Modifier on the shell which moves it out from V4's skin as required). So, load V4, create new Geometry Shell, select shell, apply jewels mat.

    Well thank you so much for that, creating new geometry shell works fine, even for a dummy like me. Problem solved...

    And don't forget with the 'new' ability to select the UV map for the Geo Shell you can apply these to any figure :)

    She is purrrrty! :) Maybe she'd be UPSET if her sister wore some of her jewels without asking? ;)

    @Jaderail: I know what you mean and my wallet agrees! :)

    I've already done my UPSET themed picture ;)

    My wallet contains a lot of moths, but in general it is happy that old content, bought long ago, can still be of use with all the newer software and figures.
