Dawn 2.0 Underway

[Chris]

Hey Chris, how about making sure you include a pair of undergarments for her that covers her in every morph?

Yes I will create a one piece swim suit type set up that we'll be able to remove the center section. But I'm going to create more body morphs first. Then copy the body mesh into the new swimsuit and all the body morphs will carry into the new swimsuit.

So that's the plan.

Let me chat with Lisa and we can discuss this a bit more. What we want to avoid is the reaction we got from artist's early on with our first Dawn release. People judged her harshly from her first set of maps and the lack of supportive morphs.

I remember even some of the members of the early development pre-release team at RDNA were extremely harsh knowing the product was still in development. Once bitten twice shy eh? I can't really blame you, though Art_of_mind's points have merit too.

Perhaps the hip bone shouldn't be this much visible at the sides on a voluptuous body shape?

When you guys want some poses for her, you know where to find me.....

Body Thin.

Looking good, Chris! When sculpting younger characters with thin legs on DawnSE, that tends to require heavy JCM surgery on the thighs. Making the thighs thinner dramatically affects leg posing because of the way it was rigged. Although I have used DawnSE for years, I have only noticed this when I sculpted physiques that included thinner thighs. That's when I realized the rigging was only meant to work with the default or thicker thighs. It's something that results from the combination of rigging and body sculpting. I was wondering how that will be with the new Dawn.

Yeah, not sure. We'll have to see when Paul is able to get back on the rig. He's packing up our Reindeer right now, then will be checking out our Tiger.

 

[Ken1171]

Oh I see. We will have to wait and see then. Thanks for the feedback.

Pregnant body

I don't know why, but I keep expecting to see an outie belly button on this one.

 

[Art_of_Mind]

Don't know if this was suggested, requested or already accomplished; asymmetrical face and body morphs, arms and legs could probably be skipped but you could include in the base figure at least one head left, right option along with an abdominal left and right option.

Yeah, I've seen all types in reference material for a pregnant look.

I like the idea of asymmetrical face morphs.

 

[Miss B]

Oh, I do as well and, if at all possible, the ears as well. I mention it because I found out a long time ago my left ear is ever so slightly lower than my right, so when I put on my glasses, they look ever so slightly tilted.

If it's not possible, then no problem, just something I thought of when AoM mentioned asymmetrical face morphs.

 

[Chris]

Just wanting to update folks here. I've been having computer problems for some time now, and I'm finally forced to get a new computer. I'm having it made for me and will be able to pick it up next week. I'm excited to have something new, fast and reliable. I've been running Windows 7 forever not wanting to upgrade to 10, but it looks like that will happen now too.

I mention this because this is the reason I won't be posting any morph work for a few more days.

 

[JOdel]

Good to know ahead of time. May the transition not be plagued by too many glitches.

Great! Be sure to get the Pro version of Windows 10! You'll thank me later!

[Ken1171]

I have been an early Windows 10 adopter, and I can say it works well with Poser and DS. At least on these two the transition should be smooth.

 

[eclark1894]

Yeah, I've been avoiding Windows 10 as well, but then, I've always been a Mac user, so getting used to Win 7 was a big step for me. Now, with Microsoft officially ending support on Tuesday, I suppose I'll have to move on. Just as well though, since I want to run Blender 2.8 and this computer won't.
