And the front view...which I think is really sweet and gives a younger look.

Finished rendering my morphs so I thought I show some of the ways you can mix Diva with Dawn's morph.

Okay...this time something a bit different. This is baby Luna's Elfin outfit which has been converted to Diva via autofit using the Baby Luna clone which will be part of the Diva Package. This is how it autoconverts using Baby Luna and Dvl_Lvd's dress template. Apart from the tunic everything else could use the Hivewire Templates. No smoothing has been added. Hair is Zac hair...edited to add. I know that I can provide custom shapes for items in DS by providing my data files. I still have to investigate if I can do injection files for the outfits in Poser using the techniques I did for Diva's injections.

Wow!!! Just wow!! and don't get me wrong, but Diva as she is, with a different skins just seems to look like a little boy to me...maybe I haven't seen enough kids in my life, but VERY YOUNG kids can look male or female to me... (but I've NOT been around a lot of children in my life) ANYWAY, you have made Diva so diverse that I'm just going crazy with anticipation! oooo my muse just showed me a pic with Diva and her baby sister! :)

and I vote for Devon ... guess it's just kinda neat to have DiVa and DeVon... ? :)

Thanks so much for showing me (us) ALL these!!!!!!!!!! woooooo ! :happyflip:

Hey Lyne, skins are probably very similar. The main reason I decided to go ahead with a boy is the musculature in a boy is different to a girl. I can only tell you that someone who is working on a project which she was using Diva for commented on it and it made a lot of sense and played into my decision to do one of each character. Having playing with Dusk in relation to this I've noticed that the child created does look more like a boy to me than what Diva does. I can't really pinpoint any one thing. Also if people want to create more muscled characters it will be useful for them.
As you possibly know I do work with kids. I teach grade 1/2 it's very rare that you will get a child that it's hard to tell which they are unless they are very young(read baby here) as they get older they develop distinct personalities. I have seen one or two children where it's difficult to tell but it is very rare. I have made Diva look like she is a boy on occasion and some of it comes down to hair and clothes but there are also subtle differences.
Here's a boy I made with Diva...he's very similar to a boy who I used to teach but in comparison is much more effeminate than the child I knew. lol...I just realised it looks like this character has nail polish on her toes as it's so shiny.

Thanks Lyne I did additional morphs so that even if someone doesn't have the Dawn morphs they can get slightly different characters with her. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with her.

Interesting thought Diva and Devon...they do kind of match.
Thanks so much for showing me (us) ALL these!!!!!!!!!! woooooo ! :happyflip:
Thanks I'm really glad that you like them. I'm getting closer to being able to submit them I need to pack up the textures for ds and get them to the testers and I'm beginning to get a handle on working in the material room. As it gets closer I admit to feeling nervous about submitting my little girl and how she will be received...it's the first time I've ever submitted anything as a vendor. So your comment means a lot!

My guess is that she will be received with a lot of "Gimme Gimme - MINE!!!" ;)

:yeahthat: !!!!!!!!!!!

Your right... re: boy look vs girls... and re-reading my own words, it almost sounds like I was saying Dive looks like a boy...I did NOT mean that at all!!! (in case youi or anyone thought that!) I just meant could she, with morphs be transformed...but I sure do take your point, especially being around that age children a LOT in your career! I "bow" to your knowledge! :)

oh and I can appreciate your nervousness, it's natural, because Diva is YOUR BABY...and to put her out there is like putting a part of you out for acceptance in the world... I think most modelers/mappers feel that way (at least if they have 'normal' ...or even minimal egos!) Bust rest assured, SHE WILL BE LOVED and sought after!!

HUGS!!

ps...now you must have reassured me at some point...but "submitting the ds" ... um...she WILL be for Poser too, right? (sorry for my wonky memory and my lack of time to re-read all the posts...!) :oops:

Yep...she is for Poser too! The morphs have been done and tested for a while. I just finished the DS mats and now need to do the Poser ones. The mats and trying to get some clothing sorted has been what has held up her release. It's not too difficult for DS as I can provide the clones that I use for getting Luna and Dusk stuff on to Dawn but Poser is a bit different. Cutie Pie is dynamic in Poser though and Traci is going to do her outfits for Poser also. So she should have lots of clothes to begin with. Both sets will be freebies.

Edited to add it's also fairly easy to add morph shapes to an outfit in DS and just providing the data files for my morph should be okay and I was thinking about seeing if I could convert those shapes into injections but I will see about that once I have Diva submitted.

So I've packed up the DS textures and sent them to the testers and since then been working on promos today as my brain wasn't in gear enough to deal with learning Poser.
