Description


I love Surreality's characters. They always have tons of options and facial morphs that are different from the usual chipmunk-cheeked fae. The only problem is that her textures are sometimes difficult to work with in DAZ Studio. And I know from experience that dark skin can be even more challenging. First off, let me say that whoever did the D/S mats for the base skin texture did a great job. I didn't have to do anything to it to get it to look good. The lips unfortunately don't look like the Poser version. They are very shiny and don't look like the thumbnails at all. I was able to make some improvements by dropping the glossiness down to about 45%, increasing the bump quite a bit and changing from glossy plastic to metallic. The tattoos, at least the one I chose doens't look right either. Based on the thumbnails it seems that it should look silver. Mine came out black with a silver-ish outline. Still, I think they look pretty cool, and I'll have to try some of the other tattoo options to see what they're like. I used the head morph as is but added the Amazon full body morph in order to bulk her up some. The hair on the character is Long Story hair by Lisbeth (DAZ), one of my favorite long hair figures. I used Get Real for Long Story Hair by Chrislenn (Rendo). The outfit is a combination of AS' Classic Fantasy and Age of Fantasy by Black Rain and Tantarus. I apparently screwed something up as I could not get the morphs in the AoF outfit to work (it's supposed to be super conforming, which I've had trouble with on other outfits in the past - so don't blame the outfit - blame the user). I switched to the AS outfit for the chest and arm decor, but kept the necklace and the "helmet" for AoF. The styles clash, but I was more concerned with just testing Ashe, so I didn't worry overly much about it. I used Gleam for DAZ Studio by si_vincent and khory_D (Rendo) to make the metal on the outfits look interesting. Shine for DS, by the same folks was used on the red pieces on the AoF outfit. For lighting I used omnifreaker's UberEnvironmental Light Shader for D/S (DAZ) and sadot's add-on Country Day HDRI. I added one additional distance light so I could get some specular shine off of her skin. The pose is by InfinityRain and Digiport from their brand new set of poses for V4 called V4 Photo Shoot. The set is available right here at Renderosity, as well as 3DC and DDU.

Ooo Ooo I haven't tested her out yet..but KNEW the moment I saw her that you would love her (hmm how did I know?) hehe But I also want to thank you because I will be referring to your caption when I do test her out for your settings for the lips I'm sure. :) Whether or not it looks just like the poser mats this image is outstanding!!

This is a great deal of tweaking to come up with this image. I think your end result was definitely worth the effort, though, as this looks great. Very very nice character.

I've been looking at this character and thinking about buying her. She has great skin textures. Interesting info about the lips. Good to know. Wonderful job on this character. Great hair and pose. Well done!

Not too sure about her body morph, look quite... uhm, stylized. Her face looks great and fitting to her race. Stunning character, would like to see more of her ;)
