Dawn 2.0 Underway

[Ken1171]

True, I just often forget about it is all.

But I have to admit that "BreastNatural" may not be enough to replicate how gravity affects different kinds of breasts. For example, in many cases, the differences are on how the shapes curve above and below the nipple line. Some are concave above, and convex below (when seen from the sides). Some are convex in both. Perhaps this is what "BreastNatural" won't cover. It just sags the breasts downwards.

This is perhaps what I meant when I said the existing breasts look unnatural. It's something to do with how they curve (side view) above and below the nipple line. All shapes are convex in both, when most breast in the real world are concave above the nipple line when affected by gravity, unless they are unusually large. If they are convex in both, they look like they were inflated, kind of like a balloon. This is what gives the rather unnatural looks.

Maybe the new "BreastNatural" morph could take care of this?

I've worked up a set of breast shape morphs based on cup sizes. Then I've added a supported, and lifted (more extreme support) for each size. We can still create variations from these, as well as the areola and nipple morphs.

See below:

Thanks for keeping us abreast of developments!

Hey, Chris, I may have made a recent mistake over at Renderosity. Is Dawn 2.0 a totally new mesh or are you simply reworking the old mesh?

You're probably fine by saying either one. Technically it is a reworked mesh, so that we can utilize existing morphs and add onto the newly reworked mesh. I wouldn't classify it as "simply" reworking it either, as its been a challenge to do, but the mesh is performing well as the rigging is being done and new morphs are applied. It is a pure quad mesh now and optimized from head to toe with the mesh being totally closed as well. Separate fingernails and toenails too.

Ah, good. Then I was pretty much correct in my post. Thanks Chris.

I like that!

I have posted a comment a while ago listing some of the changes on the new Dawn, comparing to the original. There are so many that I couldn't list them all, but the ones I have included make some respectful amount of improvements in different areas.

I found a video today on Youtube talking about women's insecurities with their bodies. I'll put in a link here incase you want to watch it. Link
Before I watched this video I never even noticed that Dawn has "hip dips", but it made me wonder if other things in the video should be added to the morph list like "tummy rolls". I did know about those, but it wasn't until the video mentioned their presense on Greek statues that made me wonder if they should be added, if their not already there, or should they be left out?

 

[Ken1171]

I think the original Dawn kind of has hip dips, at least a small amount of it. Her hips are not perfectly rounded, which is what hip dips are all about. As a matter of fact, I have personally asked Chris to add an extra "Hip Rounded" morph (to the original Dawn) to get rid of the default shape with hip dips because I was not a fan, and it's good to have options. I have found myself using that morph (thanks Chris!!) quite often, while other people may prefer the hip dips instead.

I have pointed DawnSE's hip dips below. Personally, these are hard to miss for me because I prefer more rounded hips. With the inclusion of the "Hips Rounded" dial, the options are on the table for everyone to make their pick.

Not sure what "tummy rolls" are, though.

 

[eclark1894]

Tummy rolls.

 

[Ken1171]

Ah, understood. Is that the skin creases when the torso bends forward?

 

[eclark1894]

Women aren't the only one's who get them.

 

[RAMWolff]

Yea, you should see my tummy role. One second thought, I wouldn't want to scare anyone so never mind! LOL

After you reach a certain age, and gravity starts to take over, the belly roll happens when you're standing straight up as well.

 

[Ken1171]

Oh I see. So it can be both, or just the latter?

 

[Janet]

It's a bit of fat around the front of the stomach area that when you bend over tends to roll. It's always there, you are just a bit thicker in that area when standing.

Are you planning another Dawn morph with belly fat?

Oh geez, I just googled belly rolls. I won't ever do that again.

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Janet, now I have to google belly rolls too!

There's something definitely wrong with the self image of some of those women. Not an inch of fat on their body, and they post pictures of their belly rolls ... which they don't have.
