La Femme 2 Lite is now available in the Included content area (or download page) for Poser 11, 12 & 13 ahead of the full LF2 release tomorrow at 10 AM Central Time.

This comes with the figure, a one-piece bathing suit & the Femmetastic Hair.

A note to avoid confusion:

There are files in the Poser 12 version of her that aren't present in the Poser 11 version, and there are files in the Poser 13 version that aren't in the other two. This is because some features are not compatible with some versions of Poser, so the incompatible files are not included for those versions. They are:

-Walk designer files - these are only in the Poser 13 version of LF2 Lite, because previous versions of Poser don't support custom figures in the Walk Designer.

-Material conversion files from LF to LF2 - these are only in Poser 13 and Poser 12 versions of LF2 Lite, because they involve python scripts that are not compatible with Poser 11.

Woohoo! Downloading now...

LaFemm clothes do not work, LaFemme morphs do not work, so basicly there is no legacy content,  do not feel like starting over :(

Actually, dynamic clothes do work. Here is an image I'm working on. It's far from done but that is an outfit I made for OG Lafemme. There is a morph dial that allows them to work perfectly. Poses also work with a dial. Materials work too.

"Material conversion files from LF to LF2" - What do those do? Can you use LF textures on LF2?

Played with her a little. She looks a lot better in Superfly than in Firefly. I hope more FF-friendly textures will be available in the RMP. I still find Superfly unpleasantly grainy.

Have you tried the PostFX Denoise option?  You can save the PostFX options to your scene document & will auto apply to every render.

So to compare this situation a bit, it's sorta like V3 to V4 except the conversion between textures and poses is much better.

Looking forward to taking her for a spin later today.

My first image with Lafemme 2. She's wearing clothes for Lafemme. I only converted the boots. The rest is dynamic and works with the Lafemme shape dial. I used the convert textures script and used a Lafemme texture. Hair was one for  Lafemme and used a Lafemme 2 fit morph. The pose is for Lafemme and used the Lafemme pose dial. The shown shape is her original since I don't have any morphs for her yet.

But I really prefer Firefly. I don't want to produce photoreal renders to begin with, so FF better suits my needs.

I also find Superfly extremely finicky. Settings that work for one render will look terrible in the next. While with FF, once you find settings you like, they work for just about everything.

The coupon in the newsletter announcing LF2 doesn't work.

Did you decide to just put her on sale, rather than requiring a coupon?

If anyone's wondering how the material conversion works...the scripts are in a folder called Tools in the materials part of the library. I was looking in the scripts folder, LOL.

Works pretty well. Here she is in the April La Femme textures.

I love the style of the hair she comes with, but the textures don't look as good in FF as in SF. Hoping Wolfie does some add on textures.

I don't mean to sound cheap ... But is there an upgrade from LF1pro?  With a limited income I need to watch my pennies.

Yup, that's my issue too. I can't  just drop fifty bucks right now when that's half a week's groceries for my family.

Well, with rewards, coupons and gift certificates ... I got it down to a good level. I suggest that to others, this is a beautiful model!

Fun fact, If you have hair made for a different figure that includes a hair fit for Lafemme and you combine it with the hair fit for Lafemme 2, you can use that hair too

So, what is the difference between La Femme 2 Lite and La Femme 2 Pro? Aside from the merchant resource stuff.

Do you need the Pro version to inject the morph packs?

I do like her shoulders. She looks much better with her arm raised the original LF.

And if anyone's wondering, you can run the scripts to fix the eye and brow textures in Poser 12/13, then work on the file in Poser 11, if you so wish. (I did it because Poser 11 is more stable than Poser 13 at this point. Also, I haven't figured out how to render against a black BG in Poser 13 yet.)

No, you don't need Pro to inject morph packs. :)

I got her as a gift (thanks again, Janet!!), and I have to say I absolutely love this doll already!  She has a cute face, bends REAL nice and blows fresh wind into the Runtime!  Here is to hoping that she gets a ton of support... this lady deserves it!

Pro has a nipple shape morph, a genital (camel toe) morph, three full body morphs, three full face morphs, a bunch of extra materials (skin colors, makeup options, eye colors, eyebrow and eyelash options) and the mentioned merchant resource stuff.

No, you don't need Pro to inject morph packs. :)

Not a merchant and not planning to ever be one, but the merchant resource stuff looks really great. I was wondering if someone would make a sloper set for her, like someone at ShareCG did for LF1, but there's no need. She comes with her own proto-clothes.

" Also, I haven't figured out how to render against a black BG in Poser 13 yet."

Method 1. Construct invisible:     

Method 2, Construct invisible:     

Method 3: With the Construct visible, enter the Material Room and change the color of both the Ground and the Background to black.

It is different in Poser 13. Like, the same file rendered in Poser 13 comes out with that beige BG, while it renders with a black BG in Poser 11.

The way I typically do it is to set the ground to visible, but invisible in camera. (I like seeing the grid when I'm setting up a scene.) Then I set it to "render over black" in Render Settings.

This is much more convenient. I want the construct to be visible (just not rendered), and I don't want it black. I find it a lot harder to work with a black background. I want to see the grid lines.

And if anyone's curious...Poser 12 works the same way as Poser 11.

I completely forgot; you prefer Firefly over Superfly.  My bad, I've almost completely switched over.

Well, it looks like setting the background color to black will render with a black background, if the construct is set to visible, but invisible in camera.

Workable, but what happened to render over black? The option is still there, but it appears to be nonfunctional.
