First Mannequin Attempts







Here are some of my first attempts at doing mannequin pictures. From left to right are Vivian, Lyn, and some woman I forgot who she is. I can't remember how it happened but I used a latex shader I have on the figures and then I added the skin textures to them.

Two Year Anniversary

I just wanted to leave a quick note saying that it has been two years this month since I started these pictures. I feel like doing something special but I am not sure what. I am planning on posting my first attempt at a mannequin picture on here.

Mannequin Parts and Pieces and a Review

A few weeks ago I purchased this item on DAZ 3D to make mannequins: http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/-/v4-mannequin?item=10560&_m=d& I originally purchased it when it was on sale at RuntimeDNA but I could never get the morphs right. The morphs are fairly simple. You have wrist, ankle, and hip seams; and the options to make the arms, legs, and head disappear. It also comes with a morph to change the figure's face. I like it because with the morphs I can make my mannequin figures more real. What I don't like is that the morphs are so limited. The only form that I can do completely is a torso form. I can't create just bra forms or pantyhose forms. I can create something close by making the heads and arms disappear and using the hip seam. Also we get seams for the wrists and ankles but the arms disappear around the shoulder and the legs about mid-thigh but no seams for those areas. I need to email the creator of this item with suggestions for an updated version if he plans on doing one.

Below I have some pictures that I have done with this. I have been thinking of doing something horror like where the women are torso forms but not yet fully turned.

Experiments in Refraction

For about the past week I have been messing around with the simple shapes that come with DAZ Studio and the refractive settings. I have been thinking of of doing a picture or two where women are encased in a glass object kind of like a snow globe.
