How to load PNG in Z Smoke and Cigars Props and Poses for Genesis 8?

Lothar Weber

Well maybe i'm a bit stupid this morning... but how (and where i find) to get the included png s from "Z Smoke and Cigars Props and Poses for Genesis 8" to work in DAZ?

Don't have this particular set, and there's no readme in the wiki,  but Zeddicus usually puts the pngs in the runtime/textures folder or in a folder with the other user facing assets.

The sets i've got have the folder labeled "Bonus smoke pngs" or "smoke pngs".

 

To use them, you'll usually use photoshop and add layers.

if you want to use them in DS, you'll need to use a plane and manually add the png's to the diffuse and transparancy at the minimum.

May need to invert in LIE for the transparancy setting.

Adding it to other shader settings can result in a better effect, but i'm not writing up a tutorial here.

More importantly, where do I get proper matches with posable flames? Only a moron lights a cigar with a zippo.
