Poser 6 Jessi for the next in the line.  Went slightly out of the list itinerary, I'll be getting to the others soon as I can LOL.

i personally have always liked the Jessi figure. i used her in a small picture on my works' website. I used her default face. When my boss noticed it he told me to take her picture down because he thought she looked angry. sigh...

Sorry to hear that!   Jessi in my opinion has one of the best bodies.  Her face however, as you noticed, can look rather harsh.   She fit this image i wanted to make perfectly, as I was looking for a sort of "intimidating presence".   She is great for fantasy, but I doubt I would make a sexy lolita picture or an elf with her.

I quite like the Jessi model too, but would love to see a more comprehensive body morph pack.

Still, you can get some pretty interesting results when using the face room with Jessi.

I love Glamorous Jessi.  I wish there were some good texture packs for her...

I am sorry to have to say I think Jessie is quite ugly.  I don't like her face, so I get a little bit put out looking at her default face.  Anyway, I seldom use the female figures, that's just my 2 rupees worth.

I prefer Posette and Judy (and her clones: Neja  & Wiktorija) instead.  Jim-Farris said that Jesse's breast don't hang on her chest in a kind of natural manner.
DPH

Jessi is now my 4th favorite figure, but she was higher when P6 was released.

#1: V4 (I really like this figure the more I play with her.)
#2: V3 (She's got so much available in the way of textures and clothing, she's the most versatile of all models.)
#3: Judy (Yes, Judy. As much as people seem to hate her, you can do some really nice things with her, with a little effort and patience.)
#4: Jessi (With the face room, her face can be made ultra sexy. Some of her body parts are a bit messed up, such as ugly shoulders, and upper arms that are just not long enough, but nothing you cannot "fix-up" with a little dial tweaking.)

Previous to getting V3 about 7 or 8 months ago, Judy was #1, with Jessi at #2. I don't even look at older figures like Posette at this point.

**Have you tried NEA yet
**
**I gave a try on Jessi after this thread
She looks nice but still some problems there...

So a question for all the hardcore Jessi users:*

What problems are solved here?

:biggrin:

Jessi's face has some problems at first glance (and first renders) such as the alien forehead (which you seemed to fix easily enough lol) and sunken cheeks.  Her jaw is very angular, almost pointy and the lips are massive.   All are easily fixed outside the face room with scaling, and dials.   Her eyes can also seem "beady".   There arent a slew of textures for her, and her default is actually rather dark.

Here's a list how to fix the jessi problems that I've found:

Upper-arm  shoulder issue:  Select each shoulder and upper arm, turn down the FBM dial and turn up the scale.  You'd be suprized you can take those massive muscles out quickly.

Egghead:  Easy, Scale.  Smush it flatter a little, and a bit wider, makes a world of difference.

Dark (sometimes TOO dark ) body texture:  Go into materials and simply add an ambiance in a dark grey, gives a beautiful ethereal pale.

Flat default eyecolor:  Again, a slight ambiance lightens them up.

Again I agree Jessi has her limitations, but i've found her body incredible for fantasy/strong women pieces.

Yep I made a search and there is not even one free texture for her!!!
And her UVS has some problems too... They forgot the lips material zone?

In the image I made a forehead MT and also a neck morph since the defaut looks a bit squized in the middle...

Also the eyes can be fixed if you use the side-side at 4 for right and -4 for left and than memorize

Her body is far from neutral...Her face very beautiful but still not neutral...

I always believe default characters should be more generic so as to be an easier base for morphing...

Sydney seams a bit better in this section than Jessi, especially her body... But Simon... well he is un-forgetable in his default face! Just like Judy :rolleyes:

Thanks for the upper arm fix :thumbupboth:
Can't wait to see more of your artworks!

The G2 version was just released.  :)

Free for Poser 6, Poser 7 and Passport Members!

Some  problems with Jessi straight out of the box: 
-her hands and feet are big, too big for my taste,
-her upper arms are too short, while her forearms are too long,
-the "eggly" forehead.

I've made a custom pose that scales back her hands and feet to 90% and does a little tapering on her forearms and shins. Only a little.
I've made another custom pose that increases the xScale of the upper arms to 110% and decreases the xScale of the forearms to 90%.
And the forehead can easily be fixed using magnets.

After these little adaptations she's good to go. Shoes remain a problem, especially high-heeled ones (but for high heeled Jessi stuff I always pick Glamorous Jessi). But in barefooted fantasy renders she looks more than nice.

Jessi G2, just released today at Content Paradise, is a vast improvement to P6 Jessi. I like her!

Nice job!

My wife looked at the image without any hints and recognized her right off.  :lol:

In case anyone is interested, I have released a Free stuff item, available here at Rendo, which addresses a few of the problems that I see with Jessi non-G2 (G1?).

It's available here: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/index.php?username=oscillator

The big problems with her is lack of textures and the fact that she probly is the worst bending Poser figure ever to see the light of day. They must of spent all of 15 minutes doing her joint parameters.

I don't know what, if anything, Jessi has in commonn with Jessi G2 though.  I was hoping that G2 would be the original Jessi remapped, what she seems to be is a totally different figure (she even has different body parts- buttocks for example) with only her name in common with the original Jessi.

Nothing wrong with that, but maybe they should have given her another name.

It doesn't look too good for a Glamorous Jessi G2, either.  I'm not going to go back to buttocks, for one thing.  ;-)
      

I don't like G2 Jessi.  She's Sydney with a different head and the same oversized hands and feet.  

My opinion would change if CP fixed G2's hands and feet. 

Anyway I made a quick head texture, natural style to match the default body texture

Natural Head Texture for Jessi 1 (RapidShare link)

I hope you find it usefull

Also if anyone can host it with a mat pose it would be great :biggrin:

Sure, Jessi G2 is a more generic shape, which could make morphing easier (and should be able to take all the Sydney body morphs, unless eF made changes to prevent that). But talk about lazy, they could have a least made a few more modifications to the body to make her look more like the original Jessi (and an original figure). As it is, if you have P7, when you load her you have to ask yourself "did I load Jessi or Sydney".

On the up side, for those of us that haven't upgraded to P7, we get "Sydney" (or pretty darn close) for free :-)

Some say lazy, others say convenient.

I for one am pleased Jessi G2 follows the established format of the G2 males (idential bodies). This will allow for clothing etc to be used across more than one.

Ideally though there would just be one male and one female, each with extremely flexible morphing capabilities. The need then for additional, race specific figures is negated.

I have worked with the original Jessi several times.  She did have several problems, particularly with her arms.   But she was a very good action figure.  With the proper lighting and posing, she could look quite pretty:

The best thing about the original Jessi is that she could be placed side by side with the P6 males and look as though she fit in because she was modelled in a similar style.  The new G2 females don't quite look as though they fit in with the G2 males.  The head as well as the hands and feet are too big.  Maybe, its just me, but I don't think that the G2 males and females look like they exist (stylistically) in the same universe...

I like Jessi, I just got G2 Jessi. I like the Jessi (non g2) better.

Wow! a respond after a year and more? I love when this happens! :biggrin:

Actually the idea of G2 figures having the same body is so that they share clothes, you actually just need one male and one female wardrobe...

This is not a bad idea

The different head idea was a result of people complaining that morphed faces don't accept the original expressions good. So they made different head bases in a generic body.

The idea is fine! The execution however didn't satisfied people ( I guess not even those who were complaining)

It is the same as people complaining that V4 is too toon looking when DAZ just made instead of an Aiko 3 with a realistic morph ( that was a great success) A realistic looking head (at least as much as Aiko 3 realistic was) with a toon morph!

So I guess people will never stop complaining anyway but if they do than maybee we'll never get new ideas... So complaining makes the evolution move even if we complain even later! :biggrin:

I did work with Jessy a bit and I find her a nice model to work with.

Especialy as some mentioned, when you need a strong looking woman for fantasy / sci fi art.

I did make some textures and a face morph for her to use in a project....and I need to dig up that project again :laugh:

cool texture!

Thanks.

It did take some time to get it all in place and look good.

I need to tweak a glitch or two at the seams before it is realy finished.

I am still considering if I release it as a freebie in PNG or PSD format, so you can place it over the original textures.

That is an awsome texture....I even have a non-Poser artist friend that would love it. Every time he gets an idea for a new painting and needs help with the pose, he calls me up to come over and borrow Jessie. Of all the girls in my runtimes, she's the one he likes the best. lol
