I brought her back - Amanda II Remastered (Patreon)

This is how I spent my Sunday - how was yours?

I am posting after working 14 hours straight.  I got up and had this idea:

What if I got 'old' Amanda, and - this time applying everything I have learned in 15 months of using Daz 4 - managed to remaster her to the point where she looked great and all her outfits worked perfectly.  And I could use her in the great lighting and environments of DS4 and at the same time use all my 10 years of saved Victoria 4 poses?  And I could use dForce and auto-fit and smoothing modifiers and have no poke through at all on her lovely V4 clothes?

Well, mission accomplished.

I've re-textured everything you will see - every single surface - with custom iRay shaders built from scratch.  Based on a year ago when I only understood what 10% of the settings do, I now understand about 60% of it...  so this is progress.  I can even explain to you Dual Lobe Specularity and Glossy Anistopy Rotations if I had to.

Every single outfit from Amanda II's wardrobe has been preserved and updated.  I have added smoothing/collision modifiers to all of it so I never get poke through even around the hips when bending legs.  Different items can be worn on top of each other in layers.  Thank you Daz 4!  And I have made her some new pantyhose from scratch using a Geoshell.

Amanda II was never the problem - it was Daz 3.  The lighting was horrible, the clothing was always poking though, the postwork requirement on all those old images was huge.

Hopefully now I can have the best of both worlds.

I missed her.

Not sure how much airtime she will get on Patreon, I guess that's down to you?  Even though Amanda II reigned supreme from 2016-2020 I still kept Amanda I going in Teen Rebel form.  So I guess now I will be able to go back to her whenever I feel like dusting off an old Mummy, using old poses and not having to spend hours building a new Genesis 8 pose from scratch.  Or maybe combining her with the latest in Daz 4 dangers.

Speaking of Genesis 8, do you think that some kind of time travel dimension swap story is possible where she could meet Genesis 8 Amanda?
