I love this character. I like the tiny lines around her eyes and mouth. She looks really good!hornet3d posted at 4:58PM Fri, 04 October 2019 - #4363552

I am so glad Glitterati3D started this thread and much credit must go to Bondware for including some of the Hive family in Poser so users can see just how good they are. For many years I was using V4 to try and illustrate a sci-fi story that has been bouncing around in my head for what seems a life time. I had what I thought was a character, morphed to create a 5 foot nothing slightly mature heroine for my stories. As my skills with Poser grew, with a great deal of help from Poser users in forums here and elsewhere, I found V4 start to get limiting, expressions in particular were not as life like as I wanted but where was I going to find a replacement figure that had more scope but I could still turn into a petite mature heroine. Luckily two things happen around that time, Dawn SE was launched and 3Dream created some beautiful skin resources here at Rendo. Resource Number 7 was just what I was looking for.

OK so this story could get very long so lets cut to the chase, here is my heroine, Caoimhe, in about the third iteration, the last being reworking so that I could use Superfly as a render engine. Keep in mind I am not looking for photo realistic but more believable.

This helps to show the strengths of Superfly.

I hope this encourages other to at least try Dawn to see if the figure works for you, after all the only thing it is going to cost you is time.

Thank you so much for your comments Digitell, it is always good hear from someone who appreciates your efforts. I am very proud of the character because it took such a long time to create, particularly if you add in the time needed to convert the character to render in Superfly.

I have been trying to write a story for some years now but it I never seem to get around to it. What I do know is I wanted the story to revolve around a different type of hero from the norm. First it is a heroine of a petite rather than a super model stature and I wanted it to be a slightly mature female than is the Poser norm. I started with a character based upon V4 and later V4 weight mapped but for the last few years it has been this Dawn based character.

I have created Caiomhe to be about five foot nothing in comparison with other figures and the Poser world. It makes posing interesting and often difficult, getting Caoimhe positioned correctly on a motorbike is an interesting challenge but all in all I love working with her.

Thanks again for taking time to add your comments, and your comments as well.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
