I am happy to hear you are having a better experience this time! Honestly. I was worried you are loosing having fun with rendering.

Seems some of the memory management issues with 3A and earlier versions of 4.0 that I found so vexing may have been resolved as I never could cancel a render, and try another one without first closing and reopening the app. Also cancelling a render immediately ends the process unlike in older versions where it would keep running, sometimes for a long time before clearing.  Still wish they had a background/queue rendering mode like Poser Pro 2010/2012 have though.

Going to try a few more poses expressions and settings as well as recreating the Harpsichord scene but this time with her elven friend Tracey (who will use a bit more of Princess) to see just how far I can push things.

I guess I should maybe put Throne’s Teen character on the “virtual wish list” however Princess works so good, especially for getting a more youthful face as TZORG mentioned.

OK, so guess I was a bit harsh on 4.5/Genesis.  Most of my initial experiments were with the early releases of 4.0 which admittedly did negatively colour my opinion.  The body shapes (I have all the Gen4 and AIko/HIro3 ones) along with GenerationX help a lot and actually make this interesting again.  The original Leela took years to “perfect” as best as Gen 4 could handle it. Only 3+ hours from basically “nothing” to a fairly finished character with Genesis is, frankly, amazing.

OK, everyone,  grab those cocoanut creme pies and begin throwing.

No coconut creme pies…just really pleased that you have gotten it to work better for you. : )

The time it takes to create characters using genesis is amazing I agree!

I check the store every day for Thorne’s product… That’s the last thing I’m still waiting for

DAZ is *Still* holding out on us :( I’ve been waiting ever since Thorne made the announcement. Like you, checking almost every day since.

‘Daz soon’ is like never.

It’s a conspiracy - DAZ did not buy Thorne’s morphs to release them themselves. They bought them to make sure they are never released, so there never, ever will be teens character for Genesis.

Just because they’re evil ^^

I’ve entertained a similar thought. Where DAZ thinks “Thorne’s kids are just too good, we must buy up the supply to prevent them from getting out”

OR they holding off cos they making the official Luke&Laura; 5… Again Unlikely. But one would hope that the excessive wait wasn’t in vein.

Well, from today’s big announcement, I’d say that they’ve had other fish to fry. This looks like a real game changer.

On the other hand, I’m still waiting for the kids myself—although when I *really* needed them was back in 2010 and 2011.

ETA: I’ve had a lovely thought since this morning, but it may well be a slice of blue sky pie. Probably is, actually.

The PC Anniversary is running a Buy It All promotion. The bonus earned by buying it all (which appears to be every PC item released during the month. There may be other items as well since someone mentioned “crossover” items) is a Pro collection for one of the Gen 5 figures.

That’s a significant prize, but given that PC members got significant discounts on them when they came out, I wonder how much of a draw that is for the bulk of the membership.

HOWEVER, if buying it all qualified one to trade the credit earned on a wild card substitution for the Pro collection of the *next* Gen 5 figure, or figures to be released, I’d go for that in a New York minute. Sight unseen.

But you know that I’m thinking of Thorne’s teen figures.

Unfortunately, nice as it is to think of, if it’s on the menu it presents a bit of a grumph in ETA. The Buy It All bonus won’t be awarded until the start of December. I’d really not have to wait that long. But we may have to, Buy It All or not.

I’ve just come up with a remarkably simple formula for a pair of young teens.  Each of the kids in the attached picture was made using a total of three morph sliders.

And they look really good, too. If you start from a specific character, that looks like an extremely useful way of depicting a given character at different ages.

Only three sliders? They turned out really well—nice job!

May we know which? Thanks.

2nd this, please share the details, these look really good, all the more so when it’s only 3 dials.
