Dawn 2.0 Underway

I guess we need to make this even clearer:

Dawn 2 is NOT going to be whatever new figure may come with Poser 13.

She will be a HiveWire product, for both Poser and Daz Studio. She is NOT whatever new Poser 13 female figure they might be planning.
 

unreal

Noteworthy
Right-oh ^.^

The thing is, whatever figure they're planning (assuming not cross platform)... well, I just hope they're not spending too many dev cycles on it. Because I can't see it supported even as much as previous Poser figures. Given that they didn't have much support *and* they were developed at a time when Poser had a larger user base. The math seems very much against it, no? If it's cross platform, cool. But the developers of (historically) the more successful Poser and DS figures are and have been working on other figures already available (or soon to be) figures. And one of those is cross platform. The other figure works only in the (now) dominant platform (based on newlt released supporting assets).

It's puzzling. It would be nice if the product manager could speak to that. I can't see that anything said would "give away a plan" such that anyone would pivot their business based on it. But I don't know. Oh well o_O

Yes, It was wishful thinking or just plain speculation :). Renderosity announced that there will be a new female figure in Poser 13 and someone posted a thread guessing it would be Dawn 2. I have posted in that thread and explained that it will not be.....
I just read the whole thread, yeah wishful thinking nothing more . At least positive wishes ..

Do you know if there will be an official refitting of Tenacity Tails for Dawn 2? I'm completing a full on update to the pack that will be for both Poser and DS with all new mats and the tails Pigtail Rings will now have separate mats to give a little more variety to customize your look. Just need to know if I will supplying that fit for DS and Poser or if there is someone internally that will be doing this as an extra....

I honestly think this is one of the best hair props released by HiveWire 3D over the years as it's so well done with all the movement morphs. In my pack I'm including (for DS only) 3 trans map option and in Poser just one as I don't know of any way to include a partial mat option for that right now. There will be over 50 mats for the Hair and Rings and then 35 mats for the Rings only so you can customize!

Thanks so much!

Gotta say that I love that Tenacity Hairstyle. I forgot all about that one. It would be great to do a refit at some point for sure. I wouldn't think that would be difficult to do. But as Cath has stated, there is a bit to do to finish things up for Dawn 2 release. She's been reworking things and making things as perfect as she can.

I'm so excited to have Cath involved in a big way. She is the best at what she does, which is about everything.

And Wolffie, we haven't forgotten about Dusk 2 either. He will be on the heels of Dawn 2.

I can do official fits for both DS and Poser for Tenacity if you want Chris. I have just completed both packs for DS and Poser for the update and re release but will not until she hits. I can also include a fit for Genesis 9 and La'Femme if folks want that. Fits are easy but I was just curious about if there were plans internally to do this. If not I'm game and willing and able. :)

Love this idea. Cath will be way too busy with other supporting products, as well as the base product needs. And I certainly don't have the ability.

So yes, please go for it Wolffie. And thank you in advance for your willingness to help out in this manner.
