Willow has arrived at the club. She seems satisfied with the atmosphere. I had fun using some Superfly materials on the "Metal Realm" geometry (I don't remember if I found it in Poser 11 Pro or if it was briefly a "free") and also on the JawDrop Robot. On Willow I used one of the textures from Dawn SE.

It's not snack time, it's bed time...
If anyone has the Relaxing Set for Dawn2, here you see it adapted to Willow (Dawn 1). For the Top I didn't have to do anything, it was fine as it was. For the Pants I scaled like this: X scale 90%, Z scale 84%. I also moved the pants a bit up and to the back. (all this before the simulation of course).

Because if you know, you know.


Wasn't sure about this as it was in progress. I didn't have the right hair style so I improvised. Obviously she's grown up. Tried some new compositing tricks. Overall I am pleased with the end result and may do another.

@Ken1171 I have to admit my knowledge of Japanese culture is limited to what makes it to the states, mostly anime, and much of that gets corrupted by localization. I will likely never be in a financial position to travel, though I would have loved to visit Japan.

For those wondering how on Earth did the girl from "Daikon IV" ended up on the intro of "Train Man" (one of the BEST Japanese dramas ever made), one of the studios involved, GONZO, which was made of people from Studio Gainax. Aha! ^___^

And talking about Japanese culture, Train Man was a story about a Japanese nerd that represented a whole class of people in Japan who are so socially awkward ("hikimori") that they became incapable of dealing with society, ending up totally isolated, neither working nor studying. It was considered a social disease in Japan, and perhaps it still is. That series was made as an attempt to make people sympathize with all these hikimori people in the country - and it actually succeeded. ^^

For those who don't know. Studio Gainax has revolutionized the animation industry in Japan (in more than 1 way), where it was formed by Anime nerds who gathered in conventions. Their most famous work was EVA (Neon Genesis Evangelion), where Gainax revolutionized mecha designs like never seen before, and also pushed the boundaries for what could be shown on Japanese TV at the period. The EVA posters became one of the most iconic not only in Japan, but around the world. They took the world by storm with ideas never seen before, often controversial.
