Amanda Jones - Winter Outfit 3 (Patreon)

This is a 4k render so you'd better zoom in and get all those details...  You may also find it makes a pleasant Windows wallpaper!

Here, Amanda models the 'double ear tuck' hair, which always indicates she means business.  Can't have hair getting in your eyes at a key moment!

This is the first modelling pose I have made from scratch using Genesis 8 in Daz Studio 4.  It was a learning experience and took me most of yesterday, just on the pose working with a base Gen 8.  

On the negative side, some of the controls I really used a lot have been taken out of the program - inexplicably.  There are no morphforms like with V4, and selecting multiple bones at once is ballached as you have to do it in the Scene tab THEN the Parameters tab as well.

The good news, however, is that Genesis 8 is a beautiful model, with weight mapping that kicks in after every change, and smooths out the awful embarassing bumps and deformities that left Victoria 4 needing custom morph packs just as partial fixes.

I am sure I will be faster making poses for Gen 8 and I may even release some modelling packs of poses, including the one above, as frankly the ones I see for sale are largely bad quality - and oretty useless to me.

Thanks for your patience while I am finishing off and testing out Amanda's finalised look.  I learn something about her, her hair, lighting and posing with every scene I make.  At the moment I am holding back from starting anything ambitious until I have the right content installed and the necessary experience at what I am doing.

No worries if you're getting tired of the Winter Outfit, I will be making more of the classic outfits over the coming days and weeks.
