This is a conforming pair of shorts for DAZ's Michael 4 figure. There are a number of morphs included to fit this to the various character morph dials you may use on M4, so these should fit on most figures. There are dials for Muscle, Morphs++, Elite. I haven't put any F4 in for some reason that escapes me (who knows?) but it is easy enough to add them with Morphing Clothes. Or you can bug me and I'll do it. 

I have not tested this in DAZ Studio, which I don't have, but I did include MAT Poses if that helps.

TO USE:

Unzip to your Poser folder and everything should go into the proper folders.

You will find the shorts in the "Cool Tuna" folder in your "Character" folder. 

Load up M4 as usual and then load the shorts and conform. These are *not* Superconforming, but if you have Poser, you can go to  Scripts -> Partners -> Dimension3D -> Copy Values and this will copy the morph settings from M4 to *any* clothing. Handy, eh?

Use the Materials collections or the MAT Poses, they're the same. I have a starter set included and feel free to muck around with them. ^_^ There are materials zones for the front button, studs, grommets, laces, laced panels, shorts, hems, fly, and center seam. That ought to keep you busy for a while! A texture template is included for the ambitious.

TEXTURES INCLUDED:

Basic Gray --change the diffuse color in the Materials room to get whatever color you like! This is kind of silver looking.
Basic Brown --not so shiny
Black Leather --glossy
Brown Suede --matte finish
Faux Tiger --just because it's so silly
Light Brown --which can do for gold in a pinch
