After another bad day on friday (this one at work) I spent the whole day Saturday with my computer and 3D art programs. Spent a good amount of time installing 6 months worth of new downloaded content friday night and saturday morning. Afterwards I fired up the latest edition of DAZ Studio.I'd finally given in and bought V4 Morphs ++ and Elite Morphs, so I set to work onmaking my elven character Tarwen. I like the results I got as she looks a lot more like the drawings I've done of her than the previous models. She belongs to the same story/universe as Sarovanya and will likely be seen with him as I do more work.

There would probably be more to show except that I've found a very irritating problem with D|S 3. When trying to load scenes saved in previous versions of the program, it screws up all the character textures which are then unfixable. It's done the same with my Apollo Maximus characters and Aiko 3 characters so I assume it's the same for all. And this brought me to another problem. The previous version of D|S cannot open files that are made with later versions (which I already knew), so saving my newly finished character didn't help. The only way to transfer her to the old version was to run both versions simultaneously, load up a fresh V4 model in version 2.2 and re-enter all the morphs manually. I did do this and now have a copy of her saved for use with my old scenes and characters in version 2.2, but couldn't be arsed after that to mess around with a real scene.

Anyway, here she is as rendered with DAZ Studio 3. Let me know what you think. I may make a wallpaper out of the closeup pic if there's any interest in it. :)

I almost forgot about this image from a few months ago. This is Kaeli (pronounced kay-lee). She is related to Tarwen. Speculation as to how they're related is welcome. :P
