Dawn 2.0 Underway

Hey @Chris do you know if Dawn 2 will get some refits of her basics like the pants, tank and other bits from Dawn 1? All that's being sold at Rosity are all dynamic, it's not my go-to thing so while conformers can be a pita at times it would be nice to have bits like what I mentioned above available natively for her rather than having to convert as I'm sure there are allot of inexperienced users out there that may be interested in Dawn 2 but no nothing about converting clothing from previous generations!
It's a solid idea for sure. No promises, but this would be smart. I love it.

Well I arrived back form a holiday that my wife and I had cut short short by a few days, still had a good time but had to return for a number of reasons. Understandably I was a bit down in the mouth but fired my computer up to see if it had survived being unplugged and hidden for the vacation and there is the news of Dawn 2 being released from down in the mouth to ecstatic in less than a few seconds. not only is Dawn 2 in my runtime I have the days of my holiday left to play without feeling guilty.

I like dynamics, but conforming has advantages. In addition to being easier, conforming clothing is often more versatile. You can use trans maps to make one item into many. Trans maps on dynamic clothing often look weird, because the draping ignores the trans maps.

I'd like to see some clothing for D2 that offers decent coverage. Something you might wear to work, or your mom might wear. You can always make it sexier with trans maps.

DAZ's Courageous and Valiant remain my favorite outfits. You can turn them into just about anything. Full coverage, not skin tight, but you can make them more revealing if you want to.

To have a successful dynamic clothing , you need to rig them proper as confirming , then you don't have issues with trans maps . But what you usual get are paper gowns without a spine, because people don't know how to rig clothing anymore .
Me and Chris preparing some classic clothing set for Dawn 2 .. WIP .. stay tuned
