Dawn 2.0 Underway

[DanaTA]

Two things, Can we get some donor shoe rigs for Dawn, particularly heels and wedges? And finally, is it just me or does wearing heels reshape a woman's calves? If so, should that be a morph? I'm just asking here.

I don't think it reshapes them, but it does flex the muscle a bit, which has the effect of making the calves more "shapely". It makes me wonder about fatigue, though...flexing that muscle so much for maybe hours at a time. And I think it has a similar effect on the muscles of the feet, particularly the arch muscle and perhaps the toes. Don't know for sure, I've never tried wearing heels.

looks nicer on women readusting weight distribution forces the back to arch to counter that distribution which in turn, makes the chest stand out as well as the buttocks definately making the woman's posture nicer looking. But it has a price and that price is killing the feet and the back. Yes it does stretch the calf muscle causing it to flex and the muscle to rise giving the leg a nicer look, longer and nicely contoured.
Adding that morph would be nice becaus it would lso be used as i often do for stair climbing or reaching or posing certain ways when the feet reposition and move redistribution the body weight.

Ironically, I have. Back in the seventies, I bought a pair of platform shoes. Hated them. Could barely walk in them, and they tired my legs out.

Oh, yes! I had a pair. Didn't tire my legs, but nearly broke my ankles on a few occassions! How could I forget? But, those were not exactly the same as high heels. The feet were still in basically the same position as in a regular shoe, just higher off the ground. High heels raise only the heel, which has the different effect on the body. As mentioned, the calves and the back. They do not, as mentioned however, stretch the calf...they flex the muscle, contracting it, tightening it. This leads to fatigue, I'm pretty sure. And stretching is something that is sorely needed after spending hours in those shoes, so as not to lose range of motion of the muscle.

Imagine doing drag in 4+" heels, spinning and dancing around and doing other acrobats. The physicality of wearing heels are not lost on allot of us men as well and yea, you have to good core strength and strong legs to wear them for any length of time!

You know what's ironic is that heels were first invented for men to make them taller.

 

[RAMWolff]

Yea, you know, men are sex pigs. Anything to get that butt swinging back and forth more. SICK!

Actually, Rich, I'd rather not imagine that! I have enough problems!

Couldn't resist creating a couple more morphs for our button down shirt.

A wind blown open morph.

 

[Chris]

And then just one side, and a partial too.

One would be able to apply these to one side or the other for an asymmetrical look.

 

[Ken1171]

Chris, you've READ MY MIND!! I was going to ask for a wind blown morph, and if you could make it partial L/R... but you've done it all already. Really awesome!

Are you still going to do a longer tailed looser shirt version so Dawn can wear Dusk's man shirt?

If it's Dusk's shirt, it should also be bigger and looser.

 

[carmen indorato]

Will a loose fitting shirt for Dusk also fit Dawn? If so great bring it on!

 

[eclark1894]

Why wouldn't it? The normal shirt just fits tighter around Dawn, and shows off her shape. A Looser shirt from Dusk wouldn't.

Wondering if Chris will consider making a second set that's set up for the Cloth room in Poser? Since the D-Force can clothify just about anything with no limitations all that would need to be done for that is making sure that the desired cloth settings are in place and saved into the Surface material settings. Poser is a different animal in how it handles dynamic cloth but might be worth it for more sales!

Actually, in Poser you can preset the material into different groups so that they react differently. Most creators and vendors just never do that. They tend to leave it up to the customers. Occasionally, you will find some vendors that will put things like buttons into the rigid group and some will even place designs into a semi-rigid group. It's been a while, but I once made a Dynamic Cheongsam for Dawn , and the collar had to be semi-stiff to keep it's shape.

As long as the shirt is made of a single mesh, with permissible exceptions like pockets and buttons, basically ANYTHING can be turn dynamic in Poser. As opposed to what some may believe, pockets and buttons will not fall off the shirt. We just have to assign them to the proper dynamic groups in the Cloth Room. That part is typically already done by vendors for dynamic clothing, but it's fairly easy to do it ourselves. The Poser manual does a reasonably good job explaining what each of the dynamic groups are, and where they should be used. BTW, the ability to assign dynamic groups by material zone was one of my personal suggestions to the SMS dev team. That alone makes the job much easier than it used to be in the past.

Thanks for the info boi's I just don't know enough about the Poser Cloth room yet to understand that!
