Thanks, we're very proud of her, and we keep learning with these models.

Enjoy!

**Yes, it's true, Nhu for V4 is on sale now at DAZ 3D!
**
Yes it's true, she's Vietnamese, and she's fun and sweet and sexy as the scent of green papaya! 她很性感！

*Introducing Nhu, a new, premium photo-realistic character from Beautiful World. She’s a flirtatious young free spirit from Saigon. Okay, “Ho Chi Minh City,” sorry, Uncle Ho, but whatever you call it, it’s one of the world’s most rocking cities, and Nhu intends to rock it for all it’s worth.

A mixed-race beauty, Nhu sets a new standard in sensuous Poser modeling, an exotic new benchmark in personality and a seductive new level of fun. Welcome to a real world of ethnic beauty for V4!

Custom shaped by Hollywood writer/artist Tony Puryear (Eraser) and acclaimed 3D modeler Damsel, Nhu’s slender but curvy figure uses V4’s body morphs, so the new generation of morphing clothing will hug every sexy curve. Her photo-real skin texture comes with a custom shader option to bring her to vivid life down to the last freckle.

Load her in your runtime and Get Sexy! Get Nhu!

re the clothes:

For Gioia's promos, and also those of the upcoming "Nhu for V4 by Beautiful World," I used the Topmodel Bikini by Bice, available here on Renderosity.

For the render of "Ynes for V4 by Third Degree" in the images above" I simply used the V4 Bodysuit, which has tons of morphs to hug even the most radical curves.

I have also found, and I've said this before, that the morphing clothing and lingerie by Hongyu can really be shaped for the curvier figures of the beautiful world models.

Hongyu has also told me that starting now, all his new clothing will have special morphs for the Beautiful World line. We are big fans of his, and are so honored he's taken a liking to our models.

Best of luck,
T.

Hi GK,
GOOD NEWS -
The people at DAZ let me know that the update will be available by the end of business today, Wednesday, Jan 23. Sorry for the delay, they had a slight bureaucratic mix-up. **
**
As I understand it, everyone who bought the Gioia model should find a new available download in their DAZ account tonight.

**To everyone who purchased Gioia, Damsel and I say thank you for your enthusiastic support and your patience in waiting for this update, which upgrades a texture issue several of you have pointed out. The fans have spoken, and you've made Gioia a top seller, but you've also helped make her even better, and we're grateful.
**
Be sure to look for "Nhu," the new model from Beautiful World, coming soon exclusively from DAZ 3D.

Thanks again,
T.

That render is terrific. What a nice, shy, retiring girl that Gioia is. Hope she can get out more, shake off her, y'know, inhibitions...

Beautiful,
T.

Hi, it's me, Tony Puryear, co-creator of "Gioia for V4." I find all of these comments interesting and informative. I agree there aren't lots of great dark skin textures out there for sale. That was one of the main reasons I, along with noted 3D artist Damsel, started the Beautiful World line.

As an African-American 3D artist, I'm very sensitive to the notion that you can't just take a "white" skin texture and turn the dials down, for reasons described in the posts above. To make the models of the Beautiful World line, we start with the highest-quality human skin photography available, from all the relevant ethnic groups. Then we shade, test, shade, re-test, build and re-build these textures to make what we think are going to be the best ethnic models with the best premium textures around.

And yes, realism, while a virtue in 3D modeling, isn't the only virtue. We also set out to make interesting-looking, frankly beautiful characters, I emphasize characters. We want to make stars. To me there's nothing particularly "realistic" in the extreme looks of a Gong Li, a Naomi Campbell, a Salma Hayek. Not to compare our characters with these beauties, but they are an ideal. I hope you'll visit DAZ 3D and give one of our characters a try. I promise you a beautiful experience.

I agree that DAZ coud do itself and its vendors a service by expanding the size of the promo images. One thing this thread has done is persuade me that we need to do a better job of really showing our beautiful custom skins with the limited real estate DAZ provides. Thanks for the feedback, and keep writing!

Tony Puryear, Beautiful World
