I have rigged eyelashes in studio, but they are a nightmare. I cheat a little nowadays and just stick the eyelashes on when I want to make a final render

Colm Jackson is an expert on this. He made fiber lashes as well as brows

Yes, we can eventually ask him. I saw other fiber mesh lashes but not as good as his, way too thick.

Maybe we can pursuade him to make some for dawn? We can always ask.

Yes she is, but I think the lashes of colm are better in this case. But we can ask about their process

I will try to create a simple hdri to see if we can use it for oue promo work. I will also tell you how I done this. Hopefully it works out.
Are you talking about the Asian beauty? I really like her too.

Ah the Asian cousin lol. Yeah I don't really like the width of her face.. The head is a bit too big for the body. I don't think I still got that morph. I can create a similar one for the second generation.
Regarding one of the most realistic. Well I don't think it is. I can do better now. And create better normal maps. It takes me many hours to do one head morph. Most people make morphs seperatly and then combine them to make one character. I start from scratch every time. And sculpt after scans or pictures. When that is done and I like the result, then the problems come into play, eyes closed morphs, reposition eyes and mouth interior. I get frustrated every time. Especially lining up the lashes. With gen 8 that is no issue any more.
Sometimes it takes me over 15 hours lol just correcting. I also had to redo a lot of polygon flow due to the mesh not being quads.

I also had an afro American but I don't think I have ever showed any one that morph. I put that away because I couldn't find a good resource to my liking.

I will put it on the list. I think i can create a better Asian now. I want to dive into extremely light skin. That's difficult to render.

Also I want to recreate a pocahontas character. I have been thinking about that one for over a year now lol. The list is long haha

I haven't forgotten about the eyebrows I am still testing. I hope to find a good way between the thickness of the strands and the amount of the strands maybe trying for an universal eyebrow prop?

This is what i have in zbrush, I still have to find a way to attach them to the mesh in Poser. I cannot do that right now, because I have only the mesh of Dawn 2, so I have to wait for the full package, like everybody else haha. But we will find a way I am positive.

Gen 8 has face chips? I hate those face chips on la femme and l'homme. To be honest i totally dislike both figures haha, not a popular opinion i guess.
The face and eyes are so wrong and all look the same.
Anyway i digress. I think if people give Dawn 2 a chance, she'll be the talk of the town. Very good mesh!
