Dawn 2.0 Underway

[ShvrDavid]

As previously mentioned, mixing morphs in moderation is used a lot.

Something that wasn't mentioned (at least I have not seen it mentioned, lol) is keeping all the morphs you come up with. There is nothing wrong with going back and reworking a morph. But when you rework it too many times, you have a completely different look and scrapped another one you already made.

I have a bad habit of doing that myself. Still trying to break it at times to this day. Sometimes I will take a morph that doesn't quite look right and split into multiple morphs. Say for example, extract an eye area morph out of a full face one, then the nose wrinkle, etc. After you have a lot of split up morphs, you have tons of possibilities, including for making new morphs that just combine ones you already made.

I don't think you can have too many face morphs. The trick is picking the final ones, naming, organizing them, and getting the widest range of expressions possible with the ones you have.

I believe I cracked the nut and fixed this smile.

Raised the lower eyelid.
Piled the cheek area more to match.
Worked over mouth corners, reshaped, and lessened the extreme.

She looks happy!

 

[Chris]

Yeah, that smile is just one expression. I do have and will create more individual facial morphs that are meant to be used in combinations.

Just for fun, here is that Open Mouth Smile at 50%

And at 50% on Dusk S.E.

Here is our Fear Expression on Dawn 2.0

 

[Miss B]

Looking very good Chris. Looking very good.

 

[Chris]

Here is Surprised.

 

[Rae134]

I find expressions can look different when rendered as well

 

[Miss B]

True, a character's skin textures/makeup will make a difference.

 

[Ken1171]

The camera angle can make a difference on how expressions look, too.

Balloon Cheek Left

Don't see this one used much, but I think it's pretty cool. I like how it bends the nose, and warps the face.

 

[Ken1171]

This could be used when she's chewing on something?

 

[Chris]

Both cheeks full.

 

[Chris]

This could be used when she's chewing on something?

Or rinsing her mouth out.

 

[Chris]

Hey for fun, here is Paul's Vampire on Dawn 2 without any clean up yet.

 

[Ken1171]

Looks so well as it is! I am eager to see Paul's tutorial on transferring DawnSE's morphs to Dawn 2.0.

 

[Miss B]

I'm liking the Vamp on Dawn 2.0 as well.

 

[eclark1894]

Fangs, claws and wings and she'd be complete.

 

[DanaTA]

Or rinsing her mouth out.

Or, with some lips morph, blowing out birthday cake candles!
