I really would like to recreated "Rina" by metalhed13.

Metalhed13's DeviantArt account was deleted and I couldn't find a way to contact him.

The character has been created in 2012 or before.

I think it's V4, but I don't have a clue.

What characters, morphs, poses, hair and accessories were used?

It looks like V4 but as for the morphs used, it's a guess.  The same applies to skin texture.  

The clothing is "Summoner," available here in the Marketplace.

There's a V4 version and a Genesis 3 version. Clothing textures look like this, which perhaps means that's the G3 female.

Not sure about the character. She looks like any of a bunch of very similar Poser/DS characters.

According to a web search, this character was predominantly used for porn and hentai comics but this was quite some time ago.  I doubt you'll be able to find any other information about how she was created.

Thanks for the clothing link.

I also think it's V4 or G3 and yes many look very similar.

You can see that SSS is used 

Actually, it looks like the same texture was included with the V4 version, so maybe it's V4.

It's mostly nude pinups that have spread to multiple sites and only a few reference the now defunct DeviantArt page of metalhed13.

Finding the guy and asuming he would be willing to tell me what was used would be great, but the guy seems to be gone from the Internet.

Also the body of the Rina character looks more like V4 to me.

This is my best guess for the face but there are so many faces that look similar it's hard to tell.

I bet someone knows what hair that is. Check out the Delilah Bundle at DAZ. That looks like the hair. Though it's not included with that product.

The character might be his own mix of morphs and textures. The shape of one character, the texture of another, or maybe he dialed her face himself.

That soft, idealized texture reminds of Jessaii, Sabby, or Seven, back when they did V4 characters.You might look through their stores here.

The ears may have been separate. There' s a lot of elf ear morphs out there.

That is definitely the same hair with a different texture you are right.

Looks like am early sabby face you might be on to something.

Definitely get a 'Sabby' feeling from this one. You could check these:

Dylan looks the closest to me, though the face morph is different.

The hair looks like SWAM. This is close:

I found the exact Hair

https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/87699

That is the hair. It comes with poses to hide and morph the flowers in it; you can hide them all, and get just the pearls.

The body looks kind of toony to me. My guess is it has The Girl and Aiko 4 in the mix, and probably something like Voluptuous. Summoner has a ton of morphs built in.

(I had all this stuff in my runtime already.)

If you think that it's a Vic4, you may also consider using Sasha-16, in its 2019 version. Ask if you  don't find it anywhere. Its creator was giving it for free but he disappeared. From what I've read online: hit by a car, he ended up in an hospital but: no news since then.
On the left: Sasha-16, with a few morphs I've never seen on any Vic4 + morphs++, on the right: I changed only Hip Size

Sorry, though deleted DA accounts' work is often rescued, re-posted by others, I cannot find this classic character there or in my sprawling archives....

:-(

Does anyone recognise the texture by it's spots. I thought it looked vaguely familiar and spent  some time looking through the skins I have but did not find this particular pattern of spots.

It's a tough job but someone had to do it!!! LOL

Here's another one to consider, the face (and ears) look a lot like Zyra over at DAZ.

If you think that it's similar enough:

Then it''s Sabby's Cortney

It does look like a Sabby texture to me, but I don't think it's Cortney. Cortney has freckles, and the makeup and eyebrows are different.

Vendors often make multiple characters from the same photo resources, so it could be another Sabby texture. Or, heck, someone else could have bought the same merchant resources, but it looks very Sabby to me.

@prixat

Good thinking

I have found Sabby-Hayli (Nov 21, 2010) and Sabby-Noelle (Jun 15, 2012) have the same moles and fit in the timeline.

Sabby characters I checked, that don't have the same texture Coryn, Gemma, Karyn, Rayne.

@Y-Phil

When doing a google search for "Rina by metalhed13" in the period from 2000 to 2013 you can find these two little articles on affect3d.com with a date given

So "September, 10, 2012" is the earliest appearance of Rina I could find, that would mean all the parts that make up her core body should be older than that.

Apollonia Hair which is Rina's hair was released in July 20, 2011

Sabby Cortney was released July 18, 2013 that disqualifies it.

@randym77 

that looks pretty good

You are right the body is fairly exaggerated in shape, looking at some of the picture he might have used natural gravity morphs

I did some digging, some of his DA profile got archived.

The most relevant information I got

 He talked about using P3D's Gloria for another character that looked very similar to Rina.

I am fairly confident that PD Gloria is the base and he used morphs++ to create Rina's head.

Regarding the textures I think he used Sabby Paige.

He used to create Oblivion mods before doing work with Poser and Rina was originally a Oblivion character that he recreated in Poser9.

His modding background and a comment about editing Rina's textures in one of his last renders leads me to believe he probably edited the textures from the very start. 

Rina created around mar 12, 2012

V4, PD Gloria as base, Sabby Paige's textures, morphx++, Aiko4, elite utopian, Perfect V4 Complete - Full Body Fix.

Here are my results messing around with gloria as a base.

Not bad!

Rina's face looks a little longer and thinner to me. Maybe some "Face full" with a small negative setting?

Yeah, you were spot on it needed a little bit of "face long".

The mouth is the trickiest since all the pictures have her make an expression.

Here is what I got right now.

If anyone wants to play along

V4, PD Gloria (head1), morph++ and for the textures Sabby Paige
