For some time now I've been documenting my journey while I reinstall my 3D content in Daz Studio over at Hivewire 3D forums and felt that it might be an idea to post over here as this is where my freebies have been released so far.
Along the way I'll be converting stuff from many different characters to Dawn 2 and possibly Dawn SE as well. I use a variety of figure models some designed specifically for DS and others have been around a long, long time and were designed for Poser but still usable in DS. It's fun to convert them to triax weightmapping and to play with them in DS.
To start the ball rolling, here is Dawn 2 with a morph, hair and horns I created in ZBrush.
I was initially attempting to create strand based hair within DS but I got so frustrated I decided to have a play in Zbrush instead. Horns were created from a cone and I will probably set them up as a prop in DS for release as a freebie.
Hair is very much a work in progress as it's my first real attempt a fibermesh. I used the Strand based Hair shader that comes with DS.
If you're interested in my journey or have questions about what I'm doing feel free to ask.
I do also play with Genesis and I'm looking forward to having a good play with Genesis 9 eventually...
