Since I can rememberNice to see i'm not the only one that uses zbrush for making clothes.
love it
Thank you @Chris , I started working on stuff already . waiting for the new delivery
Emailed you just now. Looking forward to seeing what you'll create for our Dawn 2.
I agree. MD owner here. Looking good so far.Folks who use Marvelous Designer are going to love you for that Chris.

Will she come with a zero A-pose rig? That would be great news!
For MD base there's Angela/Ang2, but the odd 'angel'pose in the air makes her difficult to develop clothing for and the and the hanging legs almost collide. There used to be Scarlet with an 'A-ish' arm pose but sadly abandoned. A new good 'A' posed base figure would be very welome.

It's a great idea, I don't know why not. Let me ask Paul to make sure.
I would think we can just include the A Pose with the pose set we'll make available with the base product. I would suppose that would be fine right?

If everybody complains about the A pose, why hasn't it been adopted yet? Why not take a poll and see what the vendors think?

I meant an A-pose rig, actually, like Ang2, Scarlet, oritginal Bella and, why not mention her also, Genesis8. have.
I saw the images for a moment I thought there would be an alternative Dawn2 with A-pose rig. I understand now that is not the case.
There are many good reasons for developing clothing that features sleeves in 'A' pose. That is how most garments are cut in real life. If they would be cut them in 'T' pose you would end up with a large ball of fabric under the arm pits in the lower arm positions that are most frequent. In real life that is uncomfortable unless the fabric is very stretchy. In dynamic clothing that ball of facets is a sure receipe for trouble and slow performance. Conformers in T pose have huge distortion on the shoulders.
An old Sway I made, based on Bella in the Beta days of A-pose, explains some aspects.
There also is a pdf for those who prefer that format, but it looks less good.

*cough, would also be easier to create clones for Dawn 2 so that Gen8's clothes can be transfered in DS. I know you can't create them but users can and if it is easier they will be able to leverage their wardrobes from Gen8 to use with her.
I really hope that this Dawn will come with complete clothing templates including a knee length dress as it will be easier for DS vendors to create clothing for her.

This mean a figure that is rigged in A pose in place of the standard T pose ( additional rig for the creators ) why? so we don't need to create reverse deformations after creating clothing using A pose. What I would do is set Dawn2 in A pose and save it as new figure and use it for future clothing work to skip the extra work. Once the Dawn2 rig is ready it would be easy for Paul to do that. Why? because the clothing created in A pose need to be rigged with A pose . It would make easier job for everyone .
That was the major reason I ask you for A pose so I can do that later myself while continue work at this moment before the rig was done

It is not much about complaining , it is about improving , and it is adopted by other figures many of us use like for example Genesis.
Speaking as an end user here, I remember that Dawn and G2F could use each other's pose sets fairly easily. Can't say whether hijacking another figure's pose sets is the done thing or not, but if it worked, I'm sure that there are users who would be thankful.
