I ended up going with stephanie 4 and NPM. The NPM seems to be perfect.

...before Steph was released, I used Throne/Sarsa’s Tommi.  Like most of their fey characters, she also had a more petite physique.

I now use Steph4 with the NPMs and Jamminwolf’s Amanda Hopkins for my Leela character. They work perfectly.  I’m even able to push the morphs to create a younger version of her (second pic below).

Where do you get Jamminwolf’s Amanda Hopkins?

I just bought the reby sky on sale. Reg almost $30. I must have got the wrong one. I thought it was suppose to be a laser scan of her body and have elite skin. But this one doesn’t have nipples. it’s just a full body shape, no texture. :(

The Reby Sky Shape for Genesis is just the body shape.  The Elite textures are in Reby Sky for V4.

...actually a correction is in order it isn’t Amanda Hopkins but Tindra Thompson who I used for creating Leela.

Ok. But is it really laser acurate.(“Based on actual 3D scan”) Are the genitals and breasts correct or is it just a barbie doll with elite textures?

Thanks. It’s going on my wish list.

Not sure what you’re asking.  The textures are made from actual scans of Reby.

For example, the genesis version i bought does not seem to be based on a 3d scan of Reby Sky. If you look at a nude photo of her, the shape of her breasts do not match.

“To Celebrate the NY Giant’s Super Bowl win, we are pulling this set out of the vault for a very limited time! It will be gone again, once the sale is over..

One of DAZ 3D’s most popular models, Reby Sky is now available for Genesis. Based on actual 3D scan data of Reby herself, this Reby shape will add diversity and realism to your Genesis figure portfolio.”

So since the genesis version isn’t really a 3d scan, is the v4 version really a 3d scan. Or is looking at her face with two eyes considered a 3d scan?

I feel that “Based on actual 3D scan data of Reby herself” implies they used a machine to do a full body scan. So was the scan limited to only the face or is it a full body scan for the v4 version?

I know people probably think I should just shape them myself. Im just not good enough. that’s why I want to pay someone else to do it.

You probably already know some of this, but I thought I’d err on the side of completeness:

So there are two products, the V4 character: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/v4-elite-reby-sky/ and the Genesis shape: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/reby-sky-for-genesis/ Both .include a body shape that (apparently) was based on a 3D scan of Reby. The Genesis version is just the body shape—no textures—just like other Genesis versions of earlier characters (like the V4 and M4 Shapes for Genesis, David 3 for Genesis, etc.). The V4 version also includes an elite skin texture that was created from photos of Reby. I don’t own it, but I’d imagine that it’s anatomically correct (the other elite textures I own are). If you are looking at Genesis with the Reby Skyy shape applied and you aren’t seeing nipples…what texture are you using? The Sample Lana texture that came with DS4?

Or, is the problem that the body shape itself has no nipples (the breasts are smooth where the nipples should be)? I think that’s intentional, so that clothing fits right without making Reby look like she’s freezing. If you want to dial some nipples in, I think you’ll need this: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/genesis-evolution-body-morphs/ (might as well get the whole Genesis Starter Bundle, if you don’t have it: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/sales-promotions/genesis-3d-model-platform/genesis-starter-bundle/). If you do have those Evolutions morphs, you can find the nipples morph in the Shaping tab (or the Parameters tab, if you’re using DAZ Studio 4.5) under the Torso section.

the statement “Based on actual 3D scan data of Reby herself, this Reby shape will add diversity and realism to your Genesis figure portfolio.”

The say the shape is based on a 3d scan. So the breast shape and size should be the same as the original. But they aren’t the same shape and the shape has no 3d nipples.

I understand that the skin texture for v4 will have flat/2d representanions of her nipples. But are the breasts actually based on a 3d scan or is it like the genesis shape, only good for 3ds of her face.

Removing the nipples (and genitals) from the sculpt doesn’t make it not based on a scan. In fact the scan was a starting point, it had to work with the existing model so there would inevitably be some adjustments on the way, both for purely practical reasons and fpor semi-practical reasons (the way things look different in the 3D viewport compared with reality).

Just started using Genesis. So far it does allow for a nice variety of realistic bodies. I like some of new breast morphs, but I thought it was weird that some of the classic V4 morphs don’t seem to have a Genesis equivelant, such as ‘Diameter.’ I also miss the SP4 ‘Volume’ morph.

I don’t feel like I have the same degree of overall control that I had with all the Gen4 stuff. A Gen4 female could be anything from flat chested all the way to large. You had a large range of options. Maybe it is my inexperience with Genesis, but it seems like you have a more restricted range of morphs. For example, the ‘Small Breast’ morph goes to 1, but you can’t go any higher than that for an even smaller bust. I don’t see a way to do this with the standard V5 / Genesis morphs. Maybe I am just missing something.

If you click the gear next to the morph name, you can remove limits.

Hm, thought I did that and still couldn’t exceed a ‘1.’ Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention.

Thanks.

Ok, I see how to turn off the limits on Genesis. However, that still doesn’t help me really achieve the look I am going for. Any recommendations on how to do breasts even smaller than what the ‘Small’ morph allows?
