They look great indeed. I am assuming those are all I-ray in DS renders. Is there anything done in Poser?

Yes, these are all rendered with Iray and options created for Studio. She has created options for Poser too, but not as many due to software limitations I'm told.

I see. In general, the materials will be tied to only I-ray if built using native MDL shaders. That might be required to take advantage of native I-ray features, like skin SSS that was used in the renders above. Poser Firefly and Superfly would require their own set of shaders to produce the same effect. When dealing with Poser and DS, we now have to handle 4 sets of materials nowadays (3DL, MDL, FF, and SF).

Did a string bikini refit today for Dawn 2. I did this quite a while ago but lost it in my computer crash of January.

We're getting this to Virtual World in hopes of having her use it for a couple of full body renders to show of her gorgeous skin maps.

What's needed is a refit of the MFD (and its add-ons) for Dawn. Unfortunately, I don't know whether one would be distributable.

I do recall that someone did a modified UV of the Optitex Queen of Angels dress which made it able to take MFD textures. But I can't remember whether that was a freebie or not.

I also remember that RDNA had its own version of a morphing fantasy dress for V3 (with a shawl and a veil). But I don't think it ever really got much support. Arki did a beautiful texture add-on for it though. I was still using it with G1.
