Frogman with wimple "UBA" type British naval rebreather

------ The frogman needs my "man in diving suit", which is stored elsewhere on this site.

  If you want any of these kit items separately: load the whole model onto the
stage, delete everything that you don't want, save the rest as a new library entry.

  The frogman with rebreather set will appear as a characters in the figure
category "Divers". The fin and the breathing set are characters, not props.

  If Bryce applies a texture map the wrong way up, tell Bryce to apply it the
other way up, thus: When setting or resetting its texture with the Materials Lab
in Bryce 3: In the display with 3 thumbnails that displays the current texture
for A or B or C or D: Click the top left one of the 4 small grey buttons to open
the `Texture Editor'. In the Texture Editor, opposite the middle icon (it looks
like an atom with 3 electrons going round it), click the `x', and type `180' in
the resulting very small text-entry window. Then: Press RET. Click the button at
the far bottom right of the Texture Editor. Exit from the Texture Map.

  The man seen in the above images and called by frogman3.cr2 is not in this
zipfile but is on this web site elsewhere as "man in diving suit".

  The body of the set is split into 3 Poser parts (rebrbody, oxygen, canister),
but there is no point moving these parts against each other.
  Its harness is shaped to fit my `man in diving suit'.
  Its part `rebrbody' has these 3 morphs:-
  - Inflate the breathing bag.
  - Make a flat hump on the back as if he is carrying diving weights in a pouch
on his back.
  - Flatten the harness as if the set has been taken off and is lying flat on a
surface or is hanging with its shoulder straps over a horizontal pole.

  Its breathing mask is a separate character.
  The breathing tube is set to IK-on. The end segment of the breathing tube is
IK-parented to the mask. The mask is parernted to his head. 

  To pose the rebreather: Put it on the man. Parent its `rebrbody' to the man's
chest. Switch its `btube' IK-chain on. Select the mask. The mask's x/y/zTran
parameter dials will show and can be used to move the mask about. Select menu
"object", "set parent" and so set the mask's IK-parent to be the man's head.
Then save the assembled man + rebreather model to library, delete it off the
screen, reload it from the library, to avoid a bug in Poser's handling of IK chains.
  In the assembled frogman, the breathing mask will stay on his face as you pose
him and the breathing tube will stay connected to it, as long as you leave the
rebreather set's IK chain `btube' on.

  This type of set does not make bubbles and lasts much longer on a refill per
unit of weight than an aqualung (= ordinary air scuba), and so is often used to
reach a site undetected and is used by commando frogmen and the like. But it is
less safe for use by the untrained than an aqualung is.
  The canister contains sodalime or the like and absorbs the carbon dioxide and
warer vapour that the diver breathes out. The regulator lets a steady flow of
oxygen through. The bypass is for when the diver wants to let a lot more flow
quickly.
