Reinstalling DS, converting things to Dawn and Diva and my experiments along the way
- Thread starter Pendraia
- Start date
Material presets done. Now I need to pack it and get them tested.
Hair Adel by Swam for Genesis
Shaders Lully
Pose Ramwolf, the more I play with these poses from Ram the more I like them.
I still really need some expressions because I'm so crap at creating them from sliders.

Playing in dforce with more of Baby Luna's clothing that I've had sitting there for a while. Lots of kick up around the hem by changing the velocity smoothing and velocity smoothing iterations most of it cleared up and the remainder increased smoothing helped with.
Still have a small amount on each side that I would like to improve on.

I'm glad your enjoying the pose pack hon. Sadly and madly I put them up as a freebie for Dawn 2 as I just couldn't seem to satisfy the 'Rosity testers so out of spite I changed direction and put them up on 'Rosity's freebie area. It was worth it in the long run. I don't really support the female shapes too much and it was a learning experience for me. NEVER EVER have any body part colliding with other body parts, meaning what you may want to represent an indentation of say the hand onto the thigh or the foot onto the side of the leg can't touch at all. To me it makes things look less realistic so I gave up trying to please the in house tester and released it as I saw fit as a freebie! LOL
So yesterday when I was playing with dforce I had another look at the top to see if I could get it to work. While do that it occured to me that it would make a really nice dress so I sent it to zbrush and this is what I've ended up with. UV is really basic and needs more work.
Shorts and top I've sent the link to Dark Angel. So now I need to decide what I'm doing next.
I was thinking of starting off with working on skill sets.
Improving areas like:
I have got a number of projects that I'm in the middle of. Do I choose the skill I need to complete one of them. Which one?

Improving areas like:
- weightmapping
- Modelling
- Knowledge of dforce
- Template creation
- Texturing
- Understanding the surfaces tab better with a view to moving into IRay ShaderMixer.
I have got a number of projects that I'm in the middle of. Do I choose the skill I need to complete one of them. Which one?
So when I'm finished with my freebie pack for your shorts and top do I submit to Dark Angel or is that your personal tester? Not sure who's running the show these days for submissions free or store.
As for the list above the weight mapping is a good one. It's so tricky and can sometimes be really challenging when you want to go beyond basic weight mapping. I remember way back when before DS had dynamics I was working on a cape (Never released it) but was able to get some really cool things happening with it using just weight mapping. It was fun, frustrating and well it never went anywhere but I considered it a feather in my cap for what I was able to accomplish. Now, I can't remember diddly of what I learned! LOL The old saying "use it or loose it" couldn't be more apropos! LOL

I can test for you. Then just provide Dark Angel with the link. They're happy to take what they can get.
Yes...I think weight mapping is a good one. Also Dforce as if I worked thru the pdf's on it from Daz I'd be able to release dforce stuff while continuing to work on weightmapping.
Spent today tidying up the Parameters tab on Dawn. So annoying when you can't shift a morph because they compressed the file.
