Quote - Hair grown on the brows is always the way I prefer to go for close up renders of the face. Don't need them painted on, don't need a separate mesh, and you can change them on the fly from mussed to groomed.
and you can get creative and make them all fantasy fun like with long tails at the peaks.

Quote - OH! You're THAT Mab!
You absolutely nailed it. Clothing that covers with the option to reveal. Not all of us have enough magical skill to keep our skin from being ripped to shreds when we're defending that temple while wearing a teeny tiny strip of adhesive.

Those are all movies I like, so I guess I'm a steam/diesel-punk fan. Actually, I especially love fantasy which bridges the gaps between scifi-fantasy genres. It has to sort of make sense, of course. I'm not a chaos fan, but I do love clever mixes in genres.
**I'd love to see lots of creative scifi and fantasy apparel for Dawn, but apparel that covers, or, as Will and I have done in the past, that covers with the option to cover less. **
lol!! Yeah, few know the Mab on her lonesome. I mention Will and most everyone knows the Will & Mab team.

No, I don't do waist training with corsets, and never had a surgery. I don't even really exercise apart from dancing.
We seriously need to stop saying this and that body shape is impossible just because we've never seen it in public. Really.
Ahah! Now we know who Dawn was really modeled after! Kidding....and yet......No, really, kidding kidding.....but still.......

Quote - I've not been hearing too much from the Studio users, so come on, lend your voice to the thread.
All the best.
Great Uncle LROG
Oh, we're here. We've been talking. I'm a studio user. :)
Quote - I would like to address content creator concerns by saying, HiveWire 3D is committed to supporting Poser and DAZ Studio When concerning Dawn. While we can not hope to force folks to support both platforms, we will be providing the tutorials necessary for folks to do so. The best news I can give, without a complete tutorial, is that you do not have to re-rig your content manually from one program to the other. The tools for clothing conversion are supplied within the programs. You build in Poser, great! We will show you how to convert to DAZ Studio. If you build in DAZ Studio, great! We will show you how to convert to Poser. You will be pleasantly surprised at how easy these programs make things when you compare it to creating two versions from scratch. The benefits of supporting both platforms will mean more overall sales for your content because you are targeting the whole community rather than one side or the other.
I know it sounds to good to be true, but before you pass judgement on the processes, please know that I have been and am using them right now.
As a content creator myself, I can say that it is well worth the investment of time to support both platforms as it means more sales for me while giving the entire community the best possible products I can...my opinion of course, but it is influenced by my experience with the conversion process.
Dawn of a new day is just that...for creators, users, and the community as a whole.
Whoohoo!!
Quote - btw...there are d/s users here.....just alot of us also use poser, and others just dont feel the need to announce platform choice, because it is all good LOL
Yup!
Quote - Basics I'm sure will be easy peasy but my main concern is tranferring or converting long dresses, capes and long "Wizard/Sorceress" sleeves. Any info on how well that's going to work?
Thanks for popping in! :-)
That would be a really great thing to know, not that I rig stuff myself, but I BUY stuff just like is described in this quote. I try to only texture clothing made for both platforms (except for that brief spell when certain figures didn’t work in Poser). The kind of clothing I like to texture very, very often have long skirts and draping sleeves.
Did I enjoy that brief spell of time when certain figures didn’t work in Poser and I only had to worry about making material files for one platform? I’m not going to lie. I really did. However, our sales were lower for those products. Our sales went up when both platforms were again supported, albeit one not supported in the most ideal way. Profits aside, I like the most people possible to be able to enjoy my work, even if I don't enjoy the tedium of setting up materials twice.
Quote - > Quote - One thing I can see a prob with is certain Poser materials, obviously those won't transfer over to Studio, and possibly the other way as well.
So, for some things it may be better to go with a texture file if people want to go with both systems.
All the best.
Great Uncle LROG
Good point! If they are going to offer instructins on how to transfer the rigging it would be awesome to show content creators how to transfer materials and mat files so the content will look the same if both programs.
This is a cool idea. Although, it’s important to know that it’s nearly impossible to get the exact same results in both programs. What creators want to strive for, instead, is to get their materials to look their best in each program and draw on that program’s strengths. Tutorials to achieve this would be super great.

I'd like a nice variety of toon morphs for her.
**I'd really love some split morphs for shaping either side of the face ever so slightly different from the other side for realistic people renders. **
**I'd also like squish morphs for sitting and such, stuff a good rig and weight map can't account for. **
**Ummm....I'd like adventure clothes of the Hansel and Gretel ilk, fully clothed kind of clothes. The skimpy stuff is nice. Sex sells and all, but it's not what I'm personally looking for. I usually have to add leggings and stuff to skimpy stuff. **
HAIR!!

Thread: the Dawn of a new day... | Forum: Freestuff
Aaawwww, I hope things can remain sun shiny and not dissolve into pointless debate about software or companies. I'm seeing it crop up more and more and it's making me frown.
I know it will be a little bit of a challenge to make content for Dawn for both platforms (for those that choose to do so), but I don't think it's going to be as difficult as people are making it out to be. Just needs to get tutorials out there that explain the ropes for those who want to learn.
There is nothing wrong with choosing to support only Poser or only DazStudio, if that is all a creator can or wants to do. I hope we're careful about not putting too much pressure on people regarding that. People should do what they're comfortable with. I've no doubt that if enough civil requests for an item to be converted to whichever program it's not native to are made, that the vendors will do their best to fulfill that wish, whether by collaboration or learning how themselves, but only if their life situation allows for it. Let's be careful not to scare vendors off, feeling they're under obligation.
Collaboration is a wonderful thing. It's my personal favorite of ways to work.
I hope we can remember the topic of this thread. We're in the freebie section of the forums and talking about a new figure coming who is going to be free; come with a free hairstyle, bikini, poses, skin (skin also a merchant resource), some expression morphs and a few shaping morphs, and dev rig. She has been set up to be native to both Poser and DS with specialized rig and weight maps for each, but using the exact same mesh in each. She poses and bends beautifully in both programs and has a pleasing appearance. She has realistic proportions. She has excellent expression morphs, etc. etc. Her features have already been listed a number of times, so I'm babbling again.
Anyways, I haven't seen a lot of addon wishlist items mentioned for her. Weren't they supposed to be highlighted in blue or something like that? Vendors might like to have more ideas of what sort of addon items the public wants for her the most so they can prioritize their offerings.
Thread: the Dawn of a new day... | Forum: Freestuff
My best guess, based on my observations of the markets, is that most vendors who know how to rig clothes/hair in both Poser and DS will usually package the two versions together. I think it depends on the amount of work involved and the vendors' preferences, but it seems to me that most will choose that option. I'm also guessing that some vendors who only know how to work in one platform will take a leap of faith and try to learn at least what they need to know to convert to the other system, asking a lot of questions to be sure they do it right and getting a lot of helpful feedback and answers from the community. There will, of course, be some that prefer to only support one platform, and that is okay. Everyone has different time constraints going on in their lives. I think there will be an increase in tutorials around the topic of clothing conversion from one platform to the other as a result of this.
In most cases, morphs will only need to be created once for a given clothing/hair. They'll just need to be transfered by the various means described in this thread over to the other platform's figure version or loaded into each platform's figure version individually from the modeling program they were created in, but the morphs themselves (in most cases) will only need to be modeled/formed/created in whatever outside program they're being created in once. It's more a case of the loading them into the figure needing to be done twice or converting them over from one platform's figure to the other, not so much a creating of the morphs themselves done twice. Morphs to flip collars and skirts, I imagine, will be easily useable in both programs. In most cases, it's just the setup of the morphs that needs to be done twice or converted over. Hope my repetative babbling makes sense.
I know some morphs are created right within DS or Poser. Those would need one of the various conversion techniques discussed somewhere in this thread. Most vendors, I've observed, prefer to make their morphs in an outside program, though.
I'm open to critiques or others clarifying what they know I actually mean. This babbling seems clear to me, but one never knows.

Dawn's starting shape is not my personal ideal for what I want in my female figures, mostly just the shoulder width. I also like narrower shoulders. However, as has been pointed out by others, that is what customization is for. What Dawn IS I find terrific. She isn't going to be everything to everyone, especially out of the box, but I think she is pretty solid and beautifully set up for customization. She has some things other figures don't have. I think what she has is going to be the answer to issues many have wished could be addressed, but never dreamed ever would be. She'll only get better once creative artists get their hands on her.
*edit to change one word.

Quote - But saving as a brush in Photoshop doesn't keep the trim image's colors, does it? o.o
Alas, nope. You're right about that.
I don't know if Stitch Witch does layers. When I do trim, I'm doing entirely different layer settings and coloring for bump, displacement, shine, color map, etc., stuff that simply gray-scaling and adjusting gamma won't accomplish.
So where is this wonderful Stitch Witch thread so I can follow it? This thread is about Dawn. :)

Quote - > Quote - Looks handy.
Now I gotta figure out if photoshop has a way of making a trim image follow a path, I guess that would work quite the same. ;)
I was able to creat a seam brush in photoshop that could be used as a stroke for a selection. Very handy. It's all in manipulating the brush parameters.
In other news, can someone remind us where SW is available? It's PC-only, right?
Yeah, that is how I do trim in photoshop as well.

How about Morgan. German for 'morning'. Pretty close in the day to Dawn.
Guten morgan! hehe.
I'm partial to Dusk, but Morgan would be my second choice. Think we're thinking very far ahead, though.
