Dawn 2.0 Underway

Great idea. I'll do it.
Yes, this would be a welcome morph I believe. Will take some time to create though.
Thanks, Chris. Below is the head shape from a character I used with V4 that shows one kind of pointy chin that visibly changes the head shape profile. The dial options we have for DawnSE allow for some jaw customization, but not the chin at this level. For those who complained that Dawn's chin was too large, maybe this is what they meant - an option to make it narrower. It's not about the chin in particular, but the lower head shape proportions instead.
As for claws, that should be easier now that Dawn 2.0 has separate fingernail geometry, so that claws can have volume, and also be double-sided. Below is a conforming set of claws I have for V4 that illustrates the idea. Dawn 2.0 could have her own morph-based claws that can achieve this same kind of effect without the need for additional external geometry. When I heard that Dawn 2.0 has separate fingernail geometry, this was the first thing that came to mind.

Thanks, Chris! Please let me make an observation. Maybe I shouldn't have called this "pointy" chin because that's not what I was aiming for. I am a visual guy, so let me show it with an image. Below is an example that illustrates the idea. The chin is not actually pointy - it's rather rounded instead. The feature is marked in yellow below, where the lower face has a "V" shape. This is why I have mentioned in my comment that this is not about the chin itself, but the lower face shape profile instead. I used to call this the "pointy" chin (because of the "V" shape), but now I see that was a bad idea to start with. Sorry about that - my bad!! I will be more thoughtful next time I make a suggestion.

I looked it up Ken, under face shapes for women. I think it's called an triangle shape. There's also an inverted one.Thanks, Chris! Please let me make an observation.

That's a nice table, eclark1894. I didn't know what to call that shape, but "triangle" seems appropriate. I see most of them involve the lower face as seen from the front. This is pretty much what I wanted to say, and "pointy chin" wasn't the best description. After all, all of these face shapes are about the lower face and not the chin in particular. I think this table will be helpful.

Thought you find this interesting too, then. A few celebrities with their face shapes. Would be nice if Dawn could be made to look like them.
Definitely interesting! It's always better to see this on real people than on theoretical drawings. Until now I wasn't sure if someone actually had the triangular lower face, or if that was only an artistic style. But here is - very good reference! ^______^
Good to see long fingernails - twice as longer as what we have now. The claw shapes seem quite right, but I think they need to be much, much thicker. - so they don't look so fragile.
I'll tweak this version and keep it as another fingernail option. Then thicken up another to work for claws.
Even better! ^_____^=b

Just a technical thing, but should those nails be thicker? Those look like they could easily break.
