Let's see, it's late at night, that must mean it's time to post. So much going on right now.

If Steve has already mentioned this then forgive me. I've read the last several pages here tonight and looks like he hasn't mentioned what I'm about to.

We are in the process of working up another release candidate. Paul, Sarsa and I will be doing the bulk of what is needed for that to happen. This is stemming from input on this forum, RDNA and on our HiveWire CA forum.

We are working on:

Adding more material zones

Changing the bottom of the foot and making that a new morph and making a new default base for bottom of foot.

Doing some tweaks on materials.

More R and D on Poser scaling.

Poser forced limits.

Poser IK work.

UV work on clothing Resource Kit.

Adding a Lash morph to close up the gap from top to bottom lash on outside of eye.

Slight Skin map adjustments.

Making non SSS textures for Studio.

 

Many other changes and adjustments have been made but these are what we are down to.

Question was asked about the height of Dawn. She is about one inch shorter than V5. I don't recall how that would compare to V4. I can't remember her height. But Dawn is tall.

Believe it is PaganEagle that is putting together a list of what is known about Dawn? Just read that list earlier, and didn't see this one; Dawn's rig has no JCM's on her at all.

Some questions also about breasts and nipples. I'm confident there is plenty of geometry for breast sizes and shapes. Along with making facial and expression morphs for the Dawn Base, I've made various breast sizes for the Dawn Base pack. We will allow nipple maps to be on body texture maps sold on our site. Believe someone asked that question also.

As Steve has said, more images to follow. We should be able to get body shots and some wireframe shots.

So, so grateful to see even more artists here willing to give Dawn a go. We think she's pretty special, and has some good potential. Especially with the combined help and support from the community at large. We need your added characters, clothing, enhancements and so on. We know if we don't have the overall support of the community we have no fighting chance for the success we hope for.

Thank you all!! Seriously!
