There has been much secrecy and alot of half hints, well the time for hints is done! With the Anniversary of Koshini upon us, its time for some fun! Koshini 2! With all the requests for new features and revisions, Koshini 2 has finally been created and is soon to be launched (hopefully this week) at Daz3d.com! You may look at the picture above and wonder what is so different, she has a slightly different face but she still pretty much looks the same? Well that's what I was hoping for! Meet K2: Same great style but totally new geometry! In the year and a half I've been modeling I've learned a great deal and picked up some new toys to boot, and Koshini2 has improved from this emensely! - Removable/Transmapable eyebrows, eyelashes, and nipples. - Improved mesh but NOT increased Polycount! She still loads as fast as ever! - New morphs including a Kitty face ;) - Mimic Ready! - Ears on Handles rather than grouped by themselves, so just 1 Morph Target to worry about for the head for you morphers! - Fits Most of Koshini 1 Clothing! - Included JP to adjust all clothing that involves the Chest, wrist and ankles which were all adjusted to make Clothing Modeler's lives easier! (May require fine tuning) - Packs 1-12 Clothing Pieces needing adjustment, upgrade provided FREE with K2! - NEW Deep UV created UVMap for optomized texturing with minimal stretching and no seams!! - NEW UVMAP layed out Much like Victoria (not Victoria Compatable) so that she has an Eye, Head and Body Mapping, allowing for 1 Body map and lots of face makeup textures and eye textures, better use of your storage space! - 31 Matzones for making bodysuits as easy as possible - And most requested of all.... 5 Fingers for a more Anime look! She comes packaged with a new hair style, a swimsuit and a Bikini/Bra & Undies set, so that you now can have underwear for under those frilly dresses! There are lots more goodies to be announced but keep your eyes out for this bit of fun!!!!

Oh I can't wait....and Kiki....? Sharen PS: am saving my pennies.

I can't wait either!!!!!!! koshini is my gurl! the main reason I invested in Poser in the first place, silly me lol ---Essie

P.s; love the hair!

Grins, got caught by the phone before I could finish posting! YES Kiki is the surprise. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Also announcing Koshini's Little Sister, KIKI!!! ;) All of Koshini2's upgrades, a third the height and as cute as a button!!!! She also comes with a version that can steal K2's skin textures! (though fair warning for ultra high resolution or tattooed skin, not recommended.... that's alot of cold water to make a skin shrink that much and loose the bust marks ;)) She is being packaged with a swimsuit, bikini and a set of swimshorts as well as her own style of dogears and ringlets so she can look just like her big Sister ;) In addition to wearing K2's skin, she has her own Mapping specially made for her for ultra smooth texturing with the minimum of stretch and no seams! ;) Fun stuff abounds for this anniversary and we're not finished yet!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Kiki, her clothing pack, a hair bundle of Koshini1's hair fitted to her tiny proportions and joints, texture packs from numerous people and a Capsces creation of cuteness, all hopefully due to be released this week with the priemere of Koshini2!!!!!

oh yes very kewl! I'm all excited now!!! This is a big tease lol ---Essie

wait one question will Kiki be able to wear K2's clothing, and will K2 be able to adapt K1's clothing? I have tons of her clothes that come to great use! LOL okay I think I am done, this is 20 questions lol ---Essie

And a peek at Kiki's Clothing Pack ;) And the greatest thing about little kids.... All you need is a different hair and a different texture for the clothing, and boom, you can make Kiki into a little boy! I'm thinking Kirk is a good name for him but will leave that to you all to decide ;) Everything shown above is in Kiki's Pak 1 (okay, except for Kiki!) That's 3 different overalls, a tshirt, two hair (one with poseable pigtails), and a pair of tennis shoes, complete with sock slouch morphs ;)

I am so all over this, will take the whole bunch with Caspces stuff too.....oh I just can't wait. Sharen

Kiki won't be able to wear K1 or K2's clothing I'm afraid.... chuckles I'm not that good at clothing magic (they're so HUGELY different in size and jointing). However Koshini2 will be able to wear K1's clothing! Some pieces may require the use of the included JP Adjust and might need some updates from their makers to insure flawless fitting (Chest, ankle and wrist have been adjusted in K2 and are slightly different from K1), but included with K2 are Koshini Packs 1-12 updates for all pieces needing alterations so you don't have to do anything but load and conform. Littlefox

OMG look at that face!!!!!!awwwwwwwwwwwwww she is so adorable!!! and you couldn't have timed it any better,i have been offered a night shift for the week with extra pennies!!! and with my birthday at the end of the month hubby already offered to buy me kiki for my birthday!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO,i'm SO excited!!! hehehehhe,can you believe i'm nearly 34,you would think i was about 12..LOL

Will Ichiro be getting an overhaul to a Ichiro2 version? and will there be a upgrade pricing structure for those of use that have bought Koshini already?

Yes on the upgrade price! I was very specific on that when arranging the release! There will be a large discount for those who already have Koshini ;) As to Ichiro... Well here's a question for you: Which would folks prefer? Ichiro 2 - a 5 fingered updated version of Ichiro, would loose all Textures & Morphs currently in use so that it could be upgraded to take better lashes, brows, ears and so forth and a Deep UV Mapped body. However being able to fit into Ichiro's existing clothing packs. or If Capsces (the morph goddess that she is) converted K2 into a Male version of K2. K2 Textures could be shared between them and future clothing packs could be used on both male and female versions of K2? Disadvantage here would be previous Clothing packs for Ichiro wouldn't fit the K2 Male. I'm willing to go either way or just make hands and feet refits for 5 finger/toes on the current Ichiro.... May take some time before I can get to any of the above options but would definitely like to know what everyone would prefer ;) Thoughts?? Littlefox

For me your list of improvements for Koshi2 would be nice to see in a Ichiro2 version, ability to use existing clothing is very nice. I don't know of a lot of Koshini clothing packs that would be suited to Ichiro so a hybrid female/male doesn't do much for me. A refit with 5 fingers and toes would work, I'd like to see the improved UVin and ear/eyelash fixes also. I'm greedy, I'd like a Ichiro2 with all the new improvements of Koshini2, that's my vote.

Definitly Ichiro 2. Then a puppet for the new version. I'm a greedy little b*stard. And a little brother for him too. Told you I was greedy!

This is Candy for K2 also soon :)

You know I'm a huge fan of koshini and have been waiting to see what K2 would be like. I love her face, I'd love to see what kind of morphs are and things are included! I'll be one of the first in line!

5 digits clothes retro compatibility reasonable price for upgrading Well, that makes up my mind. Wish every DAZ new figure was following the same lines.

Now, y'all. Kiki already makes a cute little boy or girl. ;) This one uses Sarsa's Trini skin texture (with a Koshini eye texture) and Secretheart's Kid Stuff clothes textures. :)

Beth

P.S. I want to call him Kenny. Kiki and Kenny. ;)

He's cuteeeeeeeeeeeee Beth

That made me smile.

Koshini 2 is wonderful so is Kiki, Angel Candy looks so sweet, and wow capsces he looks wonderful! Amazeing job to all.

OH wow this is so kewl! I can't wait to get it! (my husband gasps at thinking I'm spending all our tax returns on poser stuff lol) I cant wait! ---Essie

Here's Candy again with two of her new bodystockings

ooh I can't wait! :)

I've been in a horrible funk/rut/mood lately, but one look at Kiki and she made me smile. I've started and stopped on this little one and almost gave up. Just need to finish up a few things and hopefully she'll be done, I've been calling her SweetPea..;). Miss Little Fox...^_^...once again you've done an outstanding job!

Love to see Ichi2, but I could live with hand and finger updates. Kiki just wows me - love the overalls - any chance on making overalls for Koshi and Ichi? think they'd look great in them. and, and, and... perhaps you should consider giving up sleep, LLF. I've got a very long wish list right now. ;) Rob

looking great linda. I love the name Sweetpea also. Man, so many things to buy this month. and here I was saving up for Ps2 harddrive and FFXI. I guess I'll have to put a little aside for K2 and Kiki

Ooh, I've been wanting Koshini for SO long!!! I think now's the time to get her, hehe. K2 and Kiki are so darling, beautiful work LLF!

Cwshorty, Sweet Pea is simply gorgeous. What a face! Let me also second the vote for Kiki's clothes being made to fit Koshini. For me it is the jumper (pinafore) that stole my heart. :-) And somehow I get the idea poor Lady Littlefox gave up sleeping a long time ago.... Kimberly

I think she did too, Kimberly. I honestly don't know how she does it. I'd be walking dead if I could match her pace. ;) Beth

I'll throw a little image into this too... due to release at DAZ with Kiki is "Kid Stuff" my most humongous package ever.. more than 100 textures for Kiki and her clothing and much much more. Here's just a tiny little peek at "Coco" and the "Kid Stuff" pack

Slips in with another surprise ... mwahahahahahahahah. When we first started testing Kiki, several of the testers started giving me puppy eyes for Koshini's Hair to fit the little gal. ;) So in the interest of saving more puppies from blindness ;) I went ahead and did it ;) There's also going to be a a hair bundle with All of my hair products to date including Ichiro's (except for Santa Claus.... ;P A bearded and balding munchkin? Nahhhhh) Here's a peek ;) No previous perchase of all the packs necessary. Cr2s and objs included, everything specially refit to Kiki. (scale would sorta work if you wanna do it yourself but Kiki's head is differently shaped thean her big sis)

She's Here...... ;) Just out at Daz ;) http://secure.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=catmain&cat=8 *gets out of the way of the stampeed ;)

Wow SweetPea looks sooo cute and secretheart thanks for the sneak peek at your pack. I am already broke now got to find ways to make some cash quick. All wonderful stuff :)

omg that upgrade price is to die for. I don't think my poor heart can handle this!

grins ;) Told ya it'd be a good price discount for owners of Koshini ;)

Congratulations with again such beautiful packages I'm in love LOL

wow - the upgrade's practically free! thank you very much, LLF. It's sort of like Christmas.

Ichiro: a refitted hands and transmapable eyebrows if possible would be nice. Is there a "brows gone" morph - I can't remember. I don't know that Ichiro needs more than those additions if more means his clothes won't fit. Many of the clothes I have for him cover him up quite a bit anyway so I don't know that a better mesh, etc. is necessary for him. LOVELY WORK Miss Fox on K2 and KIKI - I don't have Koshini but will likely get K2 and definitely Kiki/Kirk (I like "Kirk") : ) I think you're definitely upping the poser stakes with these characters - it's great that it's become less of a Vicky and Mike world all around. Lots of fun, new figures! Dave

What is the 3rd new figure? Daz Newsletter said K2, Kiki and 1 more suprise. Any eta on when we get to find out?

blushes Thanks all ;) Glad you're liking em. ;) I'll be considering Ichiro 2 in the future then though I've got alot scheduled between now and then ;) Mwahahahahahahaha yes there is a third figure. I think my beta testers were about to kill me if I didn't give em a break so we're taking a short break before we start testing the third figure... the Koshini Alerts list is probably gunna get first peeks but we'll see about getting a peek here too once things get closer to final stages ;) Littlefox

whats the koshini alerts list? and whats wrong with your website, littlefox, I've been trying to acess it for awhile but no luck.

Lady Littlefox has a mailing list at Yahoo where she post what's going on in Koshini land it's a public mailing list anyone can join :) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KoshiniAlert
