Description
You still have to walk home.
Jim Burton's Glamorous Vickie 3 from 2003 still showing she has star quality even though she no longer gets the red carpet when returning home. In this case she's been converted to TriAx rigging to make wearing her G8F dress an absolute breeze.

The old old V3 ? My goodness, I can't believe my eyes, it's such a good render.

Thank you very much. Yes it is a reappearance of Glamorous Vickie 3. I have used the DAZ Uber shader, fitting in the standard V3 textures into the correct spots. The background is an HDRI from PolyHaven, and the dress is a Cocktail Dresses for G8F. That's all. Well, the pose is converted to V3 from one of my G8F walking poses by my G8F to GV3 pose transfer script. It's really nice to use this character, feel comfortable working with her

Are the shoes part of the same cocktail dress set?

The shoes are part of Jim Burton's Calendar Girl's add-on to GV3. https://www.daz3d.com/calendar-girl-set-for-glamorous-vicki

V3 really looks amazing!

Thank you. It was to expand the clothing available for this character that I went through the learning experience that led to my Parametric to TriAx Characters tutorial here: https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/96369/tutorial-triax-figures-from-old-parametric-figures I then aimed the tutorial at A3 because 1) I already had done it with GV3 and 2) A3 seems to still be used, while virtually nobody (other than me) has posted a GV3 image since I restarted playing with DS in 2019.

Richard, I got the Glamorous Vickie 3 model, I understand the hair is no longer available for sale, I got some hairs on whish list at Daz, I would like to have something that is approximately the same to fit the model, any other suggestions?

You've managed to identify a really difficult replacement problem. I simply don't know of any near replacements to the Las Vegas hair. I did try Linday's Side Layered Messy Hair with GV3 here (https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/2936479/older-figures-updated) but it's not the same - though that was done with GV3 loaded from the Poser Runtime to make things much more difficult. Angel Glam Hair for G3F & G8F by Neftis3D at DAZ is like Las Vegas grown out by a foot or so. I've tried Leyton Hair for G3F and so on and they really don't replicate it. I really don't know. Which is why I'm still using Las Vegas Hair. It just seems right for GV3. To be honest, the replacement that feels least wrong to me is nothing like it at all, Goldtassel's Dragonfly Hair, as seen here (https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3137860/every-girl-needs-a-dragon).
The different hairs are easiest to try out if you TriAx GV3 and then make the appropriate autofit clones as I described in my tutorial here (https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/96369/tutorial-triax-figures-from-old-parametric-figures) . I made the tutorial with A3, but only started writing it after I'd dome it with GV3 first, and that's how I got the G8F dress above to fit GV3.

Is tough to look for some kind of hair that may fit this type of model. the one with red tones do not seem wavy, you have mentioned G3 hair can do the trick, I will try with anything I may have at hand :|

I think that's worth doing. I was surprised with the Dragonfly Hair.
