Still unable to finish the shoulders rigging on Type-4. I kept that in mind when I made Type-5, so this one went smoothly. The Poser and DS versions went to internal beta today. :)

Indeed, I have to be more careful when reshaping shoulders because the new shape has to live with the existing weight maps. We can change the bone joints, but not the weights. I see now that I was careless with this part when making Type-4, and I have used a different technique when making Type-5 that was much more successful. ^^

Well, now you have a working method sir, so you better "take notes", so you don't have that problem again. ;)

Sure thing. I have to go back and redo the upper torso on Type-4, so I might as well redo the whole thing.

Good news! I have completed the final touches on Body Type-5 for Dawn (athletic), and it's now awaiting QAV at the store. You can check the WIP details at the development thread. ^_____^

Thank you.

Dawn is such a pleasure to work with. However, Body Type-4 has hit a wall and just won't work. I decided to start over from scratch with a different kind of body. This is almost the opposite of Type-5, less toned, more stocky and busty. Yup, sorry guys, she's busty! She also has shorter arms, a shorter torso and a bit longer legs, but not too much. This is still a WIP on the Poser version, and today I did a million changes on her. Her shape is so different from Dawn that it needed 4 JCMs to correct the leg shapes, when I usually only need 2.

When doing this scene I realized I broke the hands joints, and had to go back and ERC the fingers back into place before I could continue. Now the hands are functional. I still have some editing to do on the torso and the neck, but I am happy with the rest. She poses well - I have learned from my mistakes on the previous Type-4 attempt. Beware of e-e-evil shoulders! I will start the DS version when this one is closed.

WOW, busty is putting it mildly! I'd hate to see what might happen to the top of that bikini if she sneezes. ;)

BTW, I'm not really into anime style hair, but what hair is that? One of your own creations?

True Dreamer, but I can't imagine any sane gal wearing a bikini like that, on a body like that, jumping around. She doesn't really have to move when she sneezes . . . but still. ;)

Fear not - I met my wife when we were just 16, and she was already as busty as this. She had a bikini just like this. Watching her run and jump was quite entertaining, actually, besides the back pains. :roflmao: The hair came straight from MMD (MikuMikuDance). I use Metasequoia to convert the models to OBJ, and then pose them in Poser with magnets. ^^

@Miss BI am loving the different body types you are coming up with and can see that I will most like have use for a few of them

Thanks! Different people like different things, and variety is always good. ^^

AHA, OK. I've heard of MMD, but never really looked into it.

Perhaps she is using that body glue which was discussed in a thread here a while ago, although that was to do with stockings if I remember correctly.
