Ladies look so much better with some meat on their bones ;o).

And Steph's legs are closer to realistic in length than Vicky's telephone poles...lol.

Or does she look even more fake in the face than V4 even? Yeah, the body is better, but it's only what V4 should have been... And still - the f'd up armpits...shakes head.

She's also got that somewhat "creepy" look that I saw in the Kids4 when I first saw them. I can't put my finger on it ;o).

Laurie

Well, that is the base face.  I'm sure she can be dialed to be however the artist wishes her to be.  I think she's kinda cool.

A really cool add on for V4.  I did this pic with Morphia for all the little fairies and such.

In any case the face morphs are entirely optional and separate from all the body stuff (aside from the fact they're at the low low price of zero dollars).

That is beautiful.  I'm very impressed with all of these.

Oooooooh, can't wait, your outfits rock!

I love that outfit! What boots are those?

I'm liking the renders so far :)  Also, pjz99, I'm drooling over your lights.  Hopefully, I can figure out how to make my lights look half as good.

grin I've always coveted pjz's light set ups.

 They're pretty amazing :)  He's got a way with the program that is pretty awesome, in every sense of the word.  His exact lighting setup isn't what I would use for anything, because I don't tend to do showcases, but I hope to one day figure out how to light things, in my style of Poser art, that looks even 1/10th as good as his :)

Ah lighting...that elusive thing that I have yet to master in 12 years of using Poser, second only to my shortcomings with materials ;o).

There isn't anything complicated going on with lighting there, that's just two point lights (same as pretty much all my recent renders).  This environment prop is the big secret:
http://sites.google.com/site/fleshforge2/Home/free-stuff/renderroom-prop

Spheres work too, just this kind of environment mimics a photo studio fairly well for GI / Indirect Lighting purposes.  For the earlier renders in this thread (the super-bright ones) I had two point lights set for Constant attenuation, for the later ones (and probably most future ones because I'm getting more comfortable with it) I set the lights to Inverse Square attenuation.  No "cheat" lights or infinites or anything like that, this is plain old "practical" lighting that you could reproduce with real lights.  My render settings are actually terribly low (irradiance caching 1, IDL quality 1) because I don't feel like waiting all day for essentially a one-off forum render.

The black boots are some pretty nice ones by Idler168 - I think I want to start modeling and rigging more shoes of my own though, I only have a couple that I've done and they're very unique (the white backless thigh boots and the crazy wraparound Arcane Edge boots).

Thanks for the flattering comments :)

edit: now I don't ever want to see any damn nose glow in any of your renders, REALLY.

 hey, now, I don't think any of mine have noseglow, LOL.  I just don't find them perfect, LOL.  

The one really big downside to my lighting setup is that it chokes on most transmapped hair - this is not all that much a fault of Poser though, I think that's common in GI.  I just set hair to be exempt from raytracing, too much time required otherwise.  Partly this is how complex Poser hair models tend to be, with many planes of overlapping transparent polys.  Probably I need to start doing my own hair models as well.

oops, please note one caveat with that scene file - there is an infinite light called "WORK LIGHT - TURN OFF TO RENDER".  Guess what you need to do with that one before rendering!

 Change the x-axis to 42?

;)

 Thanks for sharing, btw :)  

I don't put that scene setup forward as the absolute most realistic setup in the world, I'm sure it has many problems (for example I don't use gamma correction) - but it is very simple and straightforward, renders pretty fast and is easy to tweak.  Have fun with it.

Thanks so much! I'll boot this up in just a few minutes. I'm assembling a Bathroom for a scene. Well, just a nice tub, with water.  You see I have this fetish for things like glass and water......ah but that's for other threads. I like threads with lots of pictures!

Anyone get the wolf hair to fit her?

I was told on the phone by two daz techs that they do not support 2010, so wondering why folks are saying they do. Does anyone have a link saying they support 2010 and if so can you please kick it to me so I can call back and get it straight? One tech told me they don't use 2010 and so they don't even test for it. Getting a tad confused here and wishing these were emails I had and not phone calls.

Just curious how are you guys/gals getting the hair to fit. BTW thanks for the tip on the checkbox for the clothing!

Ok so basically any hair I use doesn't work and there isn't a box to include scales when conforming for hair. Are you just positioning the hair and then doing set figure parent?
Thanks

Also earrings don't seem to work...lol

Ok figured out what I was doing wrong....sheesh!
Getting a refund for the package, yes bought into the pro version. Going to just pick up what I like, wolf hair and a few other things. I really like the way she looks just some of the items aren't too great, at least for me anyway.

This is Stephanie 4 rendered in Poser Pro 2010 with Fabi's KiriTe Hair and stocking shader by BagginsBill... I turned off material GC for the skin shader and turned on render GC. Also set GC to 1 for all transmaps (think I might have missed eyelashes and eyebrows, tho) and masks and stuff:

So, Steph works in Poser Pro 2010. Oh, and the Corvas armpit adjustments work too.

All the clothing has been scaled down to somewhere between 89 % and 91 %, and further adjustments made after that. So, she's a bit fiddly... might try Morph Clothes and see if I can just get items to fit her straight out of the cr2 box.

All the hair and clothes work for me in PP2010. You need to do the same thing as the clothes. Select the body group and then you can select the scale checkbox.

I know for a fact that S4 was tested in P8 and PP2010.

Don't take it for granted that all the proportion dials are going to work with all conformers - the Petite dial is pretty safe because it's the least drastic.  Several of the others will have problems with rigs that are not 100% the same as the base V4 (e.g. high heels).

and yes the background looks terribly blotchy, it looks like Inverse Square falloff on lights does not mix very well with minimum quality render settings... running another with 50 IDL quality instead of 1

I have started to look into using Morphing Clothes to introduce S4 morphs, and, at least, one of my results looks promising.  However, if you want the basic morphs, you must load S4 into Poser and afterwards save the model as a new figure.  Otherwise, MorphClothes will not see the morph channels within the base cr2.  The proportions work very well with the article of clothing I used, as well as the boots.  I will try to post something later.

There's an "inject" button that also works, although yeah it's more convenient to just load all the morphs into one reference CR2 and save that (especially if you have many garments to convert).

Oh, hooray for me - I've figured out how to get some of my problem child rigs to work with Poser 8/later body part scaling.  In places where I've added extra bones (e.g. the little string tie on the back of the corset I showed earlier) the smoo* joint parameter just needs to be moved so that all parts of that bodypart's mesh are completely outside of it.  That's a relief!

It looks like the hip of the garment is standing away from the character - if it has any extra bones around the hip/thigh then those probably need adjustment to their associated smoo* parameters (not simple to do).

I noticed that also.  For the most part, the slight flair doesn't look that bad.  I may look into it later, this render took a bit of time due to the hair transparency and IDL. 

Pjz99, I just checked the outfit and, to my surprize, that flair is actually the outfit conforming to S4's hip size.  That is actually her under there.
