Dawn 2.0 Underway

That was what the morph as called on V3, it removed cleavage and made her look like she was wearing a spandex top. IE stretched across the boobs
I had to do a few illustrations for a workout book using V4 and a Bell weight. I used the second skin option with a morph I found for a top that made it look more like fabric stretched across the breasts It made it easy to work with not having to include extra clothing and allowed me to use a whle lot of body fix morphs for her for the extreme poses for the workouts. When the client saw the images and the speed which I completed them as opposed to photographs for his prior book I thought he was going to cry with joy. It cost him less and the images rendered in Hi res properly lit and on simple backgrounds with floor shadows to add realism were very nice. I hope he calls me for his next book. But that kind of morph to turn breasts, chest and other body parts into stretched and /or wrinkled fabric and a second skin texture added make a great product add-on for any figure. Would be nice getting something like that for Dawn as well.

Reworked the lower glutes and transition to upper thighs again yesterday.

It's coming along. I've created some good solid edge loops around the hips and upper thighs too.

Will pull out and reshape the sacrum area and upper natal cleft areas still. In other words her butt crease needs shortened.

I've added in more geometry in her crotch also, which may please some people.

Hmmmm, I don't see any Tris in any of those screenshots. There are some very skinny Quads down near the crotch, but other than those, I don't see anything looking like Tris.

Mid thigh and down are not reworked yet. So there are tris still.

I also have one more tri under the glutes that I will get rid of.

Hey Chris, I see a 5 edges pole close the area where a thigh side-side will bend. That's a high compression area. Would that be Ok?

I've passed it by Paul for input. We may just have to get a rig in it to see how it reacts.

My goal in that area was to limit the loops coming around the front of the leg and still keep some valuable loops going. So I decided to create that area on the glutes to close off extra edge loops from having to run all around the front. But we'll have to see about it all and experiment a bit.

In the meantime, I've brought out the sacrum and shortened up the top of the natal cleft. Feeling much better about this look as being more natural.

Compare the shape of Dawn S.E. here with our new Dawn 2.o shape.

Indeed I prefer the new shape you just did. I wanted to comment that original Dawn's buttocks are too stretched vertically, and now they look more balanced on the new version. :)

Nice. Thank you.
