Dawn 2.0 Underway

Just to share this here, too, in case Chris is interested: Anatomy for Sculptors and Anatomy of Facial Expression are both on sale right now. I've seen the former reviewed by multiple people who said it was great, and I just looked at a video review of the latter that leafed through pretty much the whole thing and it seemed really good. They're mostly photos and images.

Also, just to say, the care you're taking with all these morphs in the base mesh (not "HD") is why I just prefer Dawn of all the modern Poser figures. I suspect I'd prefer her even if I was more of a G8/DS person for the same reason. I like to be able to do some sculpting myself. If the topology doesn't respect anatomy, it just doesn't sculpt well.

looking really good. I would like a morph for a straight back for a younger teen look. ie less lumbar lordosis, and less thoracic kyphosis (if possible). although no models have this really that i have seen so it must be technically difficult i suppose for 3d models for some reason. I'm not a modeller but just thought i'd throw in my request since everyone else is.

So I've been MIA as of late. Sorry bout that folks. I've been sick and just didn't have the energy for anything productive really, that and trying to get ready for Christmas and family and the attention that is needed there.

Any who, I'm back in the saddle and feeling about 80% there now, which is enough to get going again on our lady Dawn 2.

Yay! Hoping to post more progress tonight before bed.

Ohhhh, sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. At this time of year it's always harder to get through what's going on around you, if you're not at 100%.

Anyway, glad to hear you're "back in the saddle" so to speak, and look forward to seeing what else you come up with for Dawn 2.0.

Thanks ladies.

I know I said Jaw line earlier, and I'll get there. But this sounded fun to dive into for now. Our Emaciated body morph. Nothing on the head for this part. I've worked over the neck, shoulders, torso, and starting on the hips.

This should be a good morph to use in degrees too. Should also work well for a zombie body.

I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well. I hope you've gotten enough rest, and that you aren't pushing yourself too hard now that you're on the mend.

Oh, let's hear it for anorexia. It will need some facial modification as well, but I would expect head and body to be separate.

This will need a drawn in face morph to accompany it. I've recently seen a woman that looks like this. I felt so bad for her. Didn't know if it were anorexia or some medical condition that's draining her. Was like seeing a skeleton with skin draped on it walking around. :(

Looks awesome, Chris! To include all the extra definition on the torso sides that Dawn never had until now. The hip bone protrusions also look more realistic in this version, as well as the neck and collar details. It's definitely a visible improvement. I think the new and cleaner topology contributes to it.
