Well very nice anyway, I especially like the first three faces, even though there are differences. Thanks for the heads-up on the texture, I've noticed 3Dream does some quality stuff so I'll check it out and might buy it if I end up continuing with Poser.

Just want to clarify what I meant as well cause I could not edit my post in time. It sounds in my post as if I more often than not prefer Dawn characters. But what I actually meant was that whenever I see a mature woman character I like the look of, and check which base was used, it is more often than not based on Dawn. It's something I've noticed, even from people such as yourself who make images for their gallery or whatever but the figure itself not for sale, it's amazing how many times the base is Dawn.

Thanks for the clarification but that is what I understood from your earlier comments, I think the point is that most default female figures are on the young side so if you want a mature looking figure you have to either do some extra modelling or a lot of dial spinning. That being the case the choice of which base figure is used may be influenced by the merchant resources and morph packs available. I did make a mature character based on V4 and later V4WM (weight mapped) but I found Dawn SE a much easier prospect. The skin map is very important though and I was lucky 3Dream did the mature resource for Dawn, without it the character would be far less convincing.

I don't tend to use other figures so I really don't know how easy they are at creating mature female characters for but there is certainly enough skin and morph packs about for Dawn SE to make it possible with very little skill and a lot of trial and error, which is how Caoimhe was created.

 

 

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.
