Dawn 2.0 Chatter

Honestly I think there will be a more chatter about her when Cath's stuff finally starts hitting the market. I keep checking daily for Ava or ANYTHING from her but nada so far!

I'm quietly impatient--I think the boat was missed with the early release with limited content available early on and the lack of variety for shaping her ethnicity especially. I would like to be wrong. For a purely end user right now she is not very useful due to lack of shapeability and textures--the majority of us don't have the ability to take her to another program and do whatever wonderful things content creators do. We'd just like to play within Poser or DAZ (though I find the lack of DAZ users/ renders interesting right now--almost everything I saw so far was done in Poser).

She also needs conforming clothing. I think Chris took my idea of updating Dawn 1's wardrobe for Dawn 2. She really needs jeans, shorts, tops and all that. My workout set I did ages ago for Dawn 1 is sort of on the drawing board to update for Dawn 2 but my muse has taken a long vacation sadly so not sure when the "creation" bug will hit me again!

Renderosity is unable to process PayPal at the moment. And both of the last two times I used a card at Rendo, it was hacked. So, I won't be able to pick up the new expression and viseme morphs until PayPal's working. Hopefully, the sale will still be on then.

I have had my card hacked there in the past and stopped buying there because of it. I went back to the store just before they purchased Poser and I have to say I have had no such issues this time around, sadly I cannot say the same about PayPal.

I had no issues with PayPal a few days ago there, not sure what happened? I moved to PayPal pay everywhere in the digital space precisely because of the security.

Yeah, they put an alert to their main page about the Paypal issue. I won't spend anything there until they fix that, sorry.

I cannot be sure about it, but I also had a pre-paid card hacked, shortly after buying at Rendo (a lot of time ago). So I suspected that could be the reason. From what you guys say, it was probably true. Since then, I pay through Paypal and I must say that I've had no more problems. Didn't buy recently, though.

There was an issue a few years ago and Rendo made a public announcement at the time. In fairness to Rendo the problem was traced to a leak of information from a third party involved in the transaction process. I stopped buying from Rendo at the time due to issues only partially related to the billing problem.

I came back after a few years when was announced that Rendo was buying Poser and I have spent many hundreds of dollars and had no issue, well other than the fact I spend too much, but that problem is not unique to Rendo.

I was trying to figure out how to create a hook up for a blink morph since I have a character morph that changes the shape of Dawn 2's eyes. Well I was kinda blown away realizing there are not individual blink morphs for Dawn 2. There are plenty of other eye poses for left and right but only ONE blink morph.. So I was under the assumption there were a left and a right blink controller but I guess not. Was this an oversight? I know in Poser you can easily split a morph but in DS it's not that easy.

Forgot about this thread. So it's very easy.

Bring up your Blink Corrective morph in Property Hierarchy tab (you can type in 'Blink' in the Search bar field, assuming you called it something with blink in the name, or there is another shortcut to bring them up in Property Hierarchy via the Parameters tab) Then just follow the what I have illustrated in the image below...

The slightly annoying issue with Dawn 2 is that there is no left and right blink set up. So there is no way to make her WINK! :cry:

In Poser there's an easy way to do this. Just create a new custom Parameters Palette as shown here and navigate to the Upper Face parts and select the Right Lid Upper. From your parameters window drag the Blink morph into the new palette and do the same for the Left Lid Upper. Then you can re-save this Dawn .cr2 choosing the option to save the custom palette too so you easily access them without going to all that trouble again.

Thank you but I was wanting to set up a blink morph for extreme eye shapes. Ken tried to help me but I just can't get my head around all the bits and pieces he conveyed to me. I left a message or two on the 'Rosity thread you replied to....
