I'm in the process of making promos, yes. He should be in QA soon, Lyne.

Thanks, Miss B. I just used EZSkin3 on Dawn and the Fantastica hair. Just told EZSkin to apply the settings........
I did, however, change Fantastica to Unimesh and set the render SubD to 1 to get a more "hair like' bend for the razor cut in front.
(BTW, EZSkin3 was updated yesterday. You can get the new version in the CGBytes store - still free.)

Saw the thread where someone implied they didn't think Dawn was good for portraits. So a quickie... Dawn in Superfly with Jenny mats from tempesta3d. No postwork, no EZskin, no nothing just Dawn SE with Jenny skin and and a single expressions morph. The hair is out of the box Dawn Mid Length Hair and it needs tweaked for superfly. I also know the lacrimals need to be modified and the teeth look like they need work but Dawn herself looks pretty good to me. The shadows are way too sharp on the render and if anyone knows how to fix that in superfly I would appreciate a comment as I want to rerender with higher subdiv. I am still trying to figure out superfly render settings. Pose is from Nouvelle Aube.

Default shadow Min Bias settings for SM Poser shadows are always too high (usually 0.8). Change that setting on each light. I start at 0.2 and go down from there. I also pick and choose which lights I am going to turn off shadows on completely. Not every light needs shadow settings.
@Glitterati3D Pretty!! I just got started with Superfly since I can't use Octane in promo renders, and I am starting to get a hang on it.
@Dragonsegg Wow love all that jewelry! She looks great in Superfly. The eyes and teeth tend to look lame in Firefly, but Superfly makes a world of difference in your render. ^___^
Yaaay, first Sora render! This is my personal face morph that includes Dawn + Sora + my own stylized morphs. This V4 texture had no makeup options, so I had to paint my own in postwork. Rendered in SuperFly with simple Poser materials. I went for the "cat's eyes" look here. Do they draw you in? LOL

Nice, Ken! Superfly is nice - takes some getting use to, but it is nice.
@Pendraia Thanks, Pen! Take it easy. ^^
@Glitterati3D I think the part that took me a while was deciding which ROOT node to start with. We have 3 to choose from, but which would work best for my workflow? After some experimentation, I have chosen the "Physical Surface" root, for it's the one that makes more sense to me, because it's similar to what I am used to in Octane. Things are NOW much easier now that I have chosen my starting point for Superfly materials. It's a wonderful thing what SMS has done by making the materials auto-switch to whatever rendering engine you use! ^___^
@Rokket SMS has been frequently running promotions - since last December they have been offering Poser 11 at reduced price for several times. I think there was a promotion of this kind just last week. Make sure to subscribe to their mailing offers, so you won't miss the promo pricing! ^____^
@Chris Thank YOU for making such a wonderful shape for Dawn! I want to wrap up the Jungle Weapons Pack, the Legend of Tarzan outfit (and get it a new name too!), and the Superhero outfit, so I can work on something new for Sora to wear.
@Miss B Thanks! I need to check what Merchant Resources I have to make a new texture for Sora. Then I can combine it with a new character morph (like this one) and close a package. ^^
