RELEASED Body Type-7 for Dawn

[Ken1171]

Body Type-7 for Dawn (Poser and DS)

This is a new body sculpt I have been working on for Dawn. She has detailed abs and hips, new breasts shape, slightly longer legs and smaller torso, shapely thighs, smaller buttocks, and slimmer arms. It's an original and completely redesigned shape for Dawn. Below is a render with the Poser version.

Here's the front, side and back view.

Here's a close-up of the torso to show off the unique shapes. Note she has pronounced hip bones.

Here's a close-up view of the back. The buttocks are higher up and about half the size of Dawn's. From this view you can also see the hip bone protruding at the front.

I have worked hard on her rigging, and she poses quite well. Type-7 builds over the accumulated experience from previous projects, and I think it's getting better every time. ^____^

This week I have resolved some of technical challenges from the DS version rigging, and now I have a final version candidate to start the internal beta-testing. Below is the final DS version candidate, now fully rigged and JCM-corrected, rendered with I-ray.

Below is Poser Type-7 render I did a while ago.

 

[Ken1171]

Working on the first batch of beta-testing today, which resulted in a couple of additions to the Poser and DS versions.

 

[Ken1171]

The second round of beta-testing didn't go so well. I have concentrated on getting a good bend forwards for the torso, and ended up with problems bending backwards. This will need more work.

 

[Ken1171]

Good news! Type-7 has passed internal beta, and now I just need to work on the DS version (and beta-test it). However, I had to stop everything last Tuesday because of a surgery that will keep me away from computers for a few weeks. I am hoping to recover good enough to finish this next week, but it's hard to tell. Right now I am already on my limits and will have to log off. I will finish this when I am able to stay longer on a computer.

 

[RobZhena]

Get better, man!

 

[Ken1171]

Thanks, Rob! I have worked a little on it today.

 

[Ken1171]

I think I have the Poser version finished, but I am rather stuck on the DS version because it doesn't let me set a rate for 2nd stage JCM "multiply" dependencies. So the morph corrections work, but at the wrong rate. Nothing new here - I basically always get stuck on DS versions because of the utter lack of technical information. It's very frustrating... >___<

 

[Ken1171]

Today Paul has kindly showed me a workaround to resolve the lack of 2nd Stage Multiply ratios for JCMs with multiple dependencies in DS, and it's simple enough and worked pretty good. It beats me that DAZ hasn't resolved this until now, considering DS is updated way more often than Poser. The important thing is that this workaround has finally allowed me to complete the DS rigging for Type-7, and tonight I have sent it for beta-testing. It could be the final version.

 

[Ken1171]

Good news! Beta-testing has closed successfully today for Poser and DS, but I still have to finish the promos (ugh!). My surgery has delayed everything for a week, but now things are starting to pick up again. ^^

 

[Miss B]

Glad things are picking up Ken. Just don't overdo it.

Glad things are picking up Ken. Just don't overdo it.

Easier said than done! ^_____^

 

[Miss B]

Yes, I know. Been there, done that.

 

[Ken1171]

Just finishing up the promos now.

 

[Miss B]

Waiting patiently for this one to hit the store.

 

[Ken1171]

The product was submitted to the HW store today (Poser+DS versions). Now awaiting confirmation that it was accepted. Once that happens, it goes to QAV with Alisa.

 

[kobaltkween]

I hope you're healing well!

 

[Ken1171]

Thanks, KK! I am definitely not as much in pain as I was in the first week, but I am still not free from occasional bleeding everyday. It's not as bad as it sounds, but it's annoying because blood stains things. I am hoping the blood will finally stop in the next few days! I really do! ^_____^

 

[kobaltkween]

Me, too! Just take it easy. We'll all be here when you're healed up.

 

[Miss B]

Here's hoping you're 100% real soon Ken.

 

[Ken1171]

Thank you, guys! The hospital said the bleeding might persist for 3-4 weeks, where now I am reaching the end of the 2nd week. Almost there! ^^
