Diva For Dawn

[RAMWolff]

Splendid works there Pen. Glad your back enjoying making Diva into a star!

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks and yes it's good that it's moving forward. I'm hoping to get it into testing before I go back.

Does anyone know if the base skin for Luna is a merchant resource? And if so is it okay to use it with Dawn?

Looking really good Pen

I don't think so, but you probably could ask Alisa, as I'm sure she would know for sure.

 

[Satira Capriccio]

From the Baby Luna Readme:

This skin texture set is also a Merchant Resource kit that can be used to create new products (not for creating freebies)

 

[Miss B]

Oh now why didn't I look at the ReadMe. Duuuuuuh!

Thanks for the clarification Satira.

 

[Pendraia]

I didn't either Miss B...so we can go Duuuuuh together! Thanks Satira...I think I'll check if it is alright to use it with Dawn (with changes of course).

 

[Alisa]

Sorry, late - yes, it is a MR and you can definitely use it with Dawn

 

[Pendraia]

Yay! Alisa you've just helped solve the problem I was having with textures. I picked up a few MR sets but the skin was too old. Using Luna's skin as a starting point will solve this nicely. Thank you so much!

Back to work on the injection file and was testing that it still worked after removing some of the text. Thought it was a nice one to share...my elf ears 1 and 3 at 50% with the wide pointy chin. Just default poser lighting. Unimesh with setting of 2. Default dawn texture...

 

[Pendraia]

And one more this time elf ears 4 at 50% everything else as above...

 

[Pendraia]

And another this time elf ears 4 at 100%, apple cheeks and turn up nose.

 

[Miss B]

Damn these are looking real good Pen.

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks Miss B...I finally feel like it's starting to look right in Poser. Initially I wasn't happy. The tip you and Satira gave about using Unimesh made such a difference!

Removed and altered some more code...working on fairy steps. Remove a little bit and then test...so here's another test.
This time Elf Ear 3 at 1, apple cheeks at .5, turn up nose at 1. Slight angle this time to show the nose and cheeks better. Cheeks at 1 is fairly extreme so it will allow people to dial in as much as they like. My favourite setting is .5

 

[Pendraia]

More code removed so here is one more...and I just discovered something else about Poser. Make sure you export image from the render tab or otherwise it's a different size! It's the little things that trip me up...Apple cheeks -1, Elf Ears 2 -1, Turn up nose -1, Pointy Chin -1

 

[Alisa]

Yay! Alisa you've just helped solve the problem I was having with textures. I picked up a few MR sets but the skin was too old. Using Luna's skin as a starting point will solve this nicely. Thank you so much!

Yay! You're welcome - looking forward to Diva!

 

[Miss B]

Great testing there Pen. All are looking really good.

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks Miss B...I've hit a snag. I noticed that the JCM's haven't transferred. I thought at first that I had inadvertently removed them but after going through all the inj files(I save new as I remove stuff) and rechecking the cr2 and attempting to create a new one...I saw that they were never there. Could have sworn I checked this a couple of months back...obviously not though. I've emailed Paul and I'm hoping this will be just a minor hiccup. If needed I will have to work out how to load them manually and set them up in Poser.
At least we know that it can work in Poser it just may take more time to get there...

 

[Miss B]

I don't know enough about JCMs to help you out Pen. I'm sure you'll get it worked out soon.

 

[Pendraia]

I'm sure Paul will be able to help. I may need to try Littlefox's method which uses DSON but then strips the DSON out using a script. We'll see what Paul suggests...
