There were a few new Dawn characters in the store I wanted to buy

and now they are gone. What happened to them? They are not on

my wish list no more. This is strange. Help

By whom?

They're all there far as I can tell.

One was Andrea for Dawn and the other was Rosalie for 

Dawn.

Did some looking and found it was 3DS AndreaDawn I was 

looking for. Guess it got pulled out of the store.

I could use some characters for dawn, not to mention +morphs.  Sadly I don't see many I like yet.

There's one coming soon that looks amazing.  Tavia by Danie and Marforno.  I saw the ad for Seraph and looked in the promo credits because I thought the model looked fantastic.  That one alone would make me want to use Dawn above any other model.  

Hivewire is working on ++ type morphs they showed a few previews on their facebook and in their forums.

YAY!!!! :D

I keep hoping for more face morphs so I can make more realistic expressions.

I did get that character and had a conversation with her regarding it (I was confused as to why the dials injected at zero and needed to know what strengths they should be at and why there were 2 jaw morphs). She mentioned updating the package- perhaps that's why it's pulled atm.

Thank you sinsation. I hate getting left out in the dark on

something like this. 

I hope she does put it back so more people can grab her. She's a wonderful character.

I thought Dawn was really disappointing, especially after all the hype. She comes with such limited morphs and the quality is not even close to what DAZ is turning out now with Genesis and Genesis 2. Why has the community chosen this platform or is everyone just still riding the hype horse for all it's worth. I'd figure that by now, with all the morph corrections and special realism morphs that have come out for V4 and Genesis, that a new and so widely anticipated figure would come out of the gate with much higher quality.

Well, tho I do like Dawn (she bends great and is morphable I'm finding), I can't say that I think that Hivewire rolled her out quite the right way. IMVHO, I think there should have been much more at release, especially more ++ morphs if you will. As it is, the "starter" morphs are really all that's available to folks that want to roll their own character, but in all fairness, they are called starter and were never meant to be the main morphs for making characters ;). I do think tho, that more should have been finished before release, because in the Poserverse (ouch, I've used this term twice already today), people don't like waiting, and when the next new shiny thing comes along, their attention is diverted and your moment is perhaps gone ;). LOL

^Agreed. While Dawn is a good character, and I've seen what she can do outside of looking human, the release wasn't the greatest ever. I think this is why the skeptics are the skeptics because there wasn't enough versatility out of the gate to really show her off.

I think the issue was that they released her saying it was a platform and it ended up just being a character. We are still waiting for the expansions that make it a decent platform

We have chosen her, because she takes advantage of all of the advances that Poser has had since the release of Poser 4.  Dawn doesn't require an entire cottage industry of fixes or a half assed importer to work in Poser.

Content is coming in a slow but steady stream.  I think the reason that content is moving at a slower pace is because the smarter vendors realise that they need to learn all the features that have been added to Poser over the last few years.  With V4, a vendor could continue with the same workflow that has been used since the days of Poser 4 (which is why we are still seeing material .pz2 files in 2013).

In addition, many of them are either learning DS or looking for someone to partner with so that they can also reach that audience, because most of the Poser vendors rejected Genesis out of hand when it was released.

The only really crappy thing I have seen is her default texture - but that is the simplest thing to replace.

I don't think the default texture is crappy, it's just very recognizable. So, any character using that skin as a base is going to look just like a cousin or sister or something. 

Right now I have like 500 morphs for V4 plus more clothes, shoes, jewelry for her than I ever bought for myself in my entire lifetime and probably ever will because no closet or home could hold the amount of stuff I have for her if it were physical. But today I took upon myself to just take plain free Dawn with only base morphs and see if I could do something cool with her and I really think I did. I managed a great expression, with what little I had, and I love how it came out. At least Dawn is pretty right out of the box. I love her smile, it's  very different from V4, one of the things that really differentiates her, and her nails are prettier. I'm not sure how much money I'll spend on her, but I will spend time with the base. I suppose she does need some clothes and more skins but I'll wait till more Prime stuff comes out. I would like morphs but not sure if I want to spend a whole lot of money on her. I hope they are very reasonably priced. One of these days I'll have to take out V3 and V2 and see what I can do with them now that I've improved over time with my work. I actually really liked V3 and still have hard drives full of stuff for her too. Except she couldn't smile well at all... Ok. Good night. Too much iPad typing and time to sleep!

Just a HU, 3DSAndrea is back in the store.
