Dawn 2.0 Underway

Looking great, Paul! It's great to see a 2nd iteration improving over the 6 years experience of the first one. For the record, some mainstream figures we have nowadays took as many as 6 to 7 generations to get bends as good as these from Paul's video, and even then heavily based on JCM shape corrections. To see Dawn2 bending like this (WITHOUT JCMs) just on her 2nd generation warms my heart.
It's good to know there will be secondary shaping controls that can be toggled on and off when needed. I think it was my personal suggestion to do something like this with the default JCMs to help with content creation, by making a central control to toggle them all on/off at once.
Another suggestion I have is a preset option to load only the JCMs with no other morphs. With DawnSE, the JCMs are included with the "Base" package, so to have them loaded, we also have to load all other included morphs and controls. For my personal use, I have created a preset that loads only the JCMs for content creation. It would be nice if that option would already ship with Dawn2. This is not just for content creation, but also for general use in Poser (DS already loads everything by default). When I build a scene with Dawn, I load the blank figure with no morphs, but I need the JCMs for the posing. This is why I've created a preset that loads only JCMs. When I add the clothing, I have to copy the morphs to them, but Poser has no way to know what morphs I am using, and loading them ALL in each clothing piece makes the scene heavy. This only matters in Poser, since DS doesn't work with morph injections. In Poser, if I want to use the nails long morph, I have to load the entire body shapes package. Having that said, It would be nice to have the JCMs separate.

I so so soo love what you've done, Paul!
Dawn 2 is going to be incredible.

Love the Asiatic morphs. Looks awesome.
Wonderful! Wonderful!! Wonderful!!!
BTW, did I mention Wonderful?
Not sure, maybe.
I hope many character artists will come up with some great Korean Character. (Love South Korea)

She's looking fantastic. I can't wait to try her out.
The ethnic morphs will be full face dials?
I imagine it's easier to do full face dials than separate ones for each facial feature, though if it would be possible to split the face morphs into upper face and lower face -- like the older ethnic morphs set for the first Genesis figure -- that would be really useful. If not, that's fine too. Just thought I'd mention it as a wish.

Thanks for the compliment. These are full face dials, though we may break a few of the features out separately.
I'd love to have as many of the ethnic features as possible separate.
Then too, I'd also love to have $500,000 in my savings account.
