Narcissus work on NeJa, a Judy/NEA hybrid made me spent a little time with Judy, and it is obvious why she failed:
Successful Poser meshes must have a cute face, a shapely body and the ability to enlarge their breasts even beyond resonable size.
(Bending and good mesh layout are usually just nice add-ons.
Unless a mesh is REALLY screwed up (Like Renda was), most folks dont care much about the mesh as long as it LOOKS good) ;-)
So lets see what weve got with Judy:
She bends nicely, and shes the only anatomically correct female mesh that was build that way from the start.
OTOH shes got an ugly face, way to big hips and butt, and the boobs are cut in a way so that they are almost impossible to morph.
But lets handle every problem one by one:
The Face:
I wanted to keep Judys head geometry as I already have a V2/Judy and NeJa.
I ALSO wanted her to be still immediately be reckognized as "Judy", but still be more attractive, of course:
Two hours and a dozend magnets later, this is what Ive got:
Both use the default loRes Judy texture, I just changed the diffuse color on "Jennifer", as I dubbed my new version.
Now for the hips:
I reduced the hips and buttocks width, and increased the abdomen width.
Reshaped the genitals slightly, and now Jennifer has a more slender shape, still more "curvy" than Vickies default shape, though:
Now for the butt:
Reducing the z-scale of the hip and buttocks as well as some magnets make for a nicer shape:
Now for the (most important? ^-^ ) part:
BOOBS. LOL.
Ever tried to reshape Judys breasts ? NO WAY, at least not with magnets.
OTOH reshaping Posettes chest is a breeze, so I had to do something radical:
I reshaped Posettes chest, collars and shoulders to match Judys, and made new abdomen, neck and forearm parts to make them fit to Judys original parts.
After that all I had to do was adding some magnets and doing some fine tuning in Wings3d, to finally get:
JENNIFER:
Now someone hand that girl a sword and point her in the general direction of the next available temple. :-)
Thanks for looking,
