Thank you for your support. :)
You are more than welcome, a dress the quality of the Cheongsam Dress deserves some quality textures and Asian Dream textures certainly fits the bill.

I actually have quite a range of Sunfire content in my runtimes with dynamic dresses , skirts and tops and a lot of add on textures.

Ahh, keep it up and I won't be able to get out of my house from the swelled head! LOL.

Seriously though, it's nice to hear how well liked my stuff is.

After the latest discussion I had to go back and play with the Cocktail Dress.

It is certainly true that the hobby of 3D art can be expensive but with free software and free content it can be one of the cheaper hobbies. One aspect I really like is that the content has such a long life and can grow over time to create endless variations. This is a case in point, the head-up display is new while the cockpit is something I purchased way back on 2014 and the outfit, I was surprised to find, was not a lot newer as I purchased it in 2017. The only changes I have made is to replace the materials of the cockpit improved to Render in Superfly which is a simple change.

A new year so something new to try, it is called PortraitPro 23 and, as the name suggests it design to work with portraits. Essentially it is a digital manipulation program aimed to work with portraits, now I suspect they meant portraits of real people but I was intrigued to see how it would work with a Poser type image.

This is my first attempt having played with the program for less than an hour. Now I am no make up artist but it looks as though it might have potential.

You definitely have cleared up her blemishes and took the dryness out of her lips.

Thank you, yes they were two of the options I used along with some work with make up around the eyes and a change on lighting. The existing highlights in the eyes were replaced. There were few other areas where I was just moving sliders to see what effect they would have. The biggest plus for me is that it is so easy to use, it intelligently identifies the regions of the face, although these can be changed if required after that and is just a question of moving sliders. These are actually a series of masks isolating face, eye brows eyes, nose, lips and so on so each can to adjusted independently, such as adding shine to the lips but not the skin. All the time there is a split before and after screen so you can see the changes in real time. It reminds me very much of dial spinning morphs in Poser.

Clearly there are some powerful tools working her but I had the feeling I was controlling the tools rather than giving a description to an AI engine and letting that decide the out come.

The feedback elsewhere were that the changes made the new version looked airbrushed and the maturity of the original character was lost. I think both comments are valid so here is another attempt at make up for a night out.
