I didn't realise there was a character as well as the clothes - and both look very, very nice!
Oh yeah dear Simon ! There is lots of stuff I am working on , full set of clothing , shoes, accessories, geometrical eyelashes , full rigged character ( each joint reworked) hair work . Lots of stuff . I spent as much work on the AVA character as you would create and rig a new figure .. full revision . I will post more stuff soon ... Thank you !❤️
 

unreal

Noteworthy
If only we had something to dress

Looks like it's time to dust off my brain and a lot of outdoor scene stuff.

Is AVA gonna be the base for other female characters?
Yes for all my future female characters , I can't go back and forth make new setup each time , it will be a time killer and too expensive to model each time the proper anatomic joins not to mention all the setup .
It will be my own to go "base" !

Fantastic collar bone bends, Cath! This raises the bar for figure bending in this market. Also, good to see the index1 shape corrected as well. ^^

Brilliant
Thanks for all the demos! And thanks for giving her a nice figure rather than vanilla. Very impressive bends.
So, male and female in one body, like the first Adam. If anyone can solve the chest issues this caused with Genesis 1 and 9, it's you.

Thank you , yes she may looks like having more curvy body but once you put textures and dress her up she looks like normal good looking body girl with the right proportions . Of course her chest is a relaxed no bra chest , for clothing I have bra chest morph to support it nicely .

You see when you create a Tshirt for male it can be used to females .. but not in reverse as the extra polygons will go in a way , for me not big issue but if you convert random clothing it cant works . In real life the clothing size matters , they do not shrink magically either , so if I have clothing set for Adam it is for Adam ( no chest issues ) , to create clothing for figures like that , you need to use reverse deformation or replace the main body morph in the clothing with the correct one . I plan to support both of the figures very often . I will also have a baby , toddler and a teen later as well. Regarding G9 the issue is that the base is flat chested so there I not enough polygon to support proper female chest when making clothing and you actually need to create it using reverse deformation .. Here with D2 Base it is much easier , even if you create t-shirt for D2 , it is easy to get rid of the extra chest , so much better solution .
So if in the future you will try to make clothing for AVA in DS jut use her morph plus change the chest area to push bra , export , model the clothing , and when imported use Transfer utility an choice Dawn 2 , current and select reverse deformation , after the base rigging is finalized you can replace the generated Full Body morph with your actual clothing you create for a perfect fit at not cost . Easy job .. The same workflow for Adam just without the extra chest morph .. Doing clothing for Adam there is a chance to finish the clothing for both .. the base and Adam at once but that is not really required unless you make universal clothing !
