Sasha 16 is amazing. This image contains NO POSTWORK.

very nice work, she bends nicely eh?

She bends amazingly well. Admittedly, there's a bit of learning curve since a few things don't work like I'm used to, like th IK on her arms, but its worth the end results.

Possibly, it's caused by the Utopian Body shape. I also did not subdivide the figure.

I know IK can be a pain, but it's useful to drag the hands into position if they are grabbing something, like the rung of a ladder.

Thanks for the above tip, I'll keep that in mind! I do really love the results I get with SASHA, so much so I'll be using her for all the female leads in my comic. I'm also eagerly awaiting MISHA 17. M4 NEEDS AN OVERHAUL SO BAD.

Yup, I just tested and confirmed, it's the Utopian Body shape causing what you see in the inner thighs.

Ah, thank you for the feedback!

You see, these morphs were made when original V4's body shape and bendings were awkward overall, so no one would have noticed, nor bothered for, just another distortion.
In fact the more extreme the morphs are the more it turns out awkwardly.

I don't know which Poser version you're using.
But in PP2014 & up there's the ability to modify any existing morph in the figure. So this would allow you to "smooth" the particular "Utopian" morph that causes the distortion.
Then save the figure as a "Utopian Preset" to your library, for further use.

If you're unsure about how to edit an existing morph, just yell and I'll try to make a small tutorial showing the basics.


RE. MISHA:
probably not before the end of 2018, sorry...


Re. tips for reworking existing poses for SASHA:
Unfortunately not many. The main cause for the different pose is of course SASHA's different rig. I couldn't just copy the original rig because then I'd been subject to "The Wrath of DAZ". However, it's quite handy to have a rig with diferent joint centres because like this I could eliminate some of the worst bending issues in V4.

If you want t adapt custom poses to SASHA, I'd suggest you read chapter 6 in the manual that came with SASHA.
It's a bit long, but after you've read and understood it, fixing external poses should be a kindergarden compared to other figures.
The SASHA posing features like limits and "mouse-dragging" should do the rest.

I assume you mean the morph brush, yes? I'm fairly familiar with it. I really didn't see much issue with the legs, but I'll keep that in mind moving forward. I actually haven't had any huge issues regarding previous poses I have for V4, but then I tend to not use dial spun characters and make many of the face morphs in zbrush. I just figured I'd ask.

As for MISHA, I'll wait patiently lol. I am curious as to why you think it will take so long however. I suck at rigging figures, so please excuse my ignorance.

Rereading your post, I realize I do not know how to modify an existing morph. please do tell lol

I... I totally need to read the manual for Sasha... I didn't realize you can literally mouse drag the body parts to make poses that don't look like she been in some horrible accident! Karina, you're amazing! Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm currently involved in a beta test on a tight schedule.

I'll post a short tutorial on editing morphs here shortly (or maybe even a new subforum which I intended for some time already - with short tuts on selected SASHA features. Who knows - I just need some more time.

In the meantime, yes please read the manual! [cool]
I you find somethiing that's missing, or should be explained in more detail, just tell!

Thank you

Karina


P.S.:
Yes, the "Mouse drag posing" was one of my priorities when making SASHA.
Remember how annoying it was (and still is with most other figures) to pose the fingers?
Now, you just switch to the "hands" camera, drag at the fingers and pose them in seconds! (set "Hidden Line" display for maximum precision)

You implementated that as far down as the fingers?!?! HOLY SHIT! I honestly hadn't experimented on the hands, this COMPLETELY changes my work flow in an awesome way!

Karina, I'd rather have a lengthy tutorial explaingin exactly what I need to do as opposed to go here, do this, done. You're awesome man!

2 renders to share, passing by :





Relatively 'Fast' job, i could still improve it.
