Creating New Character for Dawn?

Fair enough...I'm still trying to work out a good workflow for specular maps.
It is amazing to see the many varieties of characters that could be achievable for Dawn!

Ah, this explains my confusion!
Long ago, at Dawn's first release i purchased her (HW store). Played a bit but went off to do other things. Came back when LaFemme was released. Played with that but making stuff for LF was brutal. Went away, then picked up on D2 in dev. Came back. Clearly, D2 was taking a while so I decided to play with D. long since lost (raid failure) by Dawn installs. Found a "Dawn SE" in my runtime. Buying (again) some of the characters and textures. But some of them are messed up. Not working on what (I think) is dawn SE. It's a Dawn.obj so i don't know. That might be the Dawn that comes with Poser.
It's all so confusing! <-- you have to imagine that with a "drama geek" over the top delivery
The Dawn that comes with Poser is Dawn SE (Special Edition. That's the only version that has been sold since she was released.
Dawn SE is completely compatible with the earlier versions, but see the "GENERAL NOTES" section of the ReadMe for info on using characters or clothing created for earlier versions of Dawn than SR2 (which do not have support for the SR2 morphs). There is something you need to do and it's explained there.

I might also have the earlier version. My runtimes are divided into figures and Poser versions (plus a few other themes like "scenery" and "toon stuff")
The Dawn runtime has to be the purchased version. All the stuff that comes with Poser is in version runtimes (ie: 8, 9, 11, 12) which would include the Dawn that comes with Poser.
Now I shall have to do something I haven't done since forever. Read the figure docs

Welcome!
Here's how you can tell the differences:
The Dawn in Poser 11 is the Dawn SE & Character shown above.
The Dawn in Poser 12 is also the Dawn SE & Character shown above, but there is a Superfly material option for Dawn and Heroine Hair.
OMG, not that!!!! LOL.Now I shall have to do something I haven't done since forever. Read the figure docs
Seriously, we DO put important info in our ReadMes...they are not just a file listing.
Oh Alisa, don't worry, we all know it's important.
It's just that we have never read it
YET, I meant never read it yet!

Super thank you! With pictures, even
I have 3 of those. Not the SR2 version. SE, Full Character, and Dawn. I only have one Dawn.obj file, though.
Welcome, unreal
Haven't looked at all the objs for awhile...
Scroll way down in the "Important Notes" section, below the long list of changes in each version of Dawn.

Looked at the ReadMe...didn't see it. Did a search for "GENERAL NOTES"...not found. Searched for "Important Notes"...not found. Seems I don't have the same ReadMe.
