X-Fashion Forever Bodysuit (G8F)      Nesena Hair (G3F/G8F)       Jepes Cinematic5 Props And Poses (M8)        JP Doris Curtain Poses/Props (V8) 

So this took most of the afternoon, playing. I got Chandler yesterday during that stack up sale for $4.85 due to the materials. I got that bodysuit for $2.69 last Saturday and the Cinematic 5 product for $5.99  The Doris Curtain was 1.69 (in the 1.99 section with additional discount.)  I just shake my head when people say they aren't finding anything in sales that they can use. So many things can be changed up and not "out of the box" restricted.  If you don't like a character's looks, look at the materials and see if that's worth the price. Or just change up the looks with morphs. 

I liked the thick brows that aren't chopped across the bottom and look more natural than the fiber mesh. I wondered how she'd do as a Noridc/Native American cross with the nose, larger eyes with a bit of a tilt, and the entire mouth overhauled. I also find it too gooey for my personal tastes, so I reduced the glossy and increased the bump, added a bit of metallicity. 

Something interesting, when I tried to apply Chandler's head morphs back onto the figure which I had changed, nothing happened. (I had Chandler selected, it should have worked.)  I tried it from the Folder in Content Library and the entire body/head by applying the Character from the avatar section.

TIP:   For the background- I first loaded a JP Doris Curtain, the vertical one with straight vertical folds.  I found when I held CTRL to add a gradient material (not shader) it made funky squares when I selected "Ignore."    Then you use the Cinematic5  prop in FRONT of the Doris Curtain, and reduce the Cinematic5 opacity so the Doris Curtain can be seen behind it. Voila, you have a cool background. There's so many geometric patterns and materials between the two products, you get a lot of opportunities!

So try the Doris Curtain and Cinematic5 together if you have them.  Be aware your lighting will create glare, depending on what you use and where the props are in relationship to the lights.

Here's what I'm testing-  Click N Render, currently 80% off. It's PC+.  Below you can see how the lighting really changes up the appearance of the props in the background. Just mouse over each one and it will tell you the number of the light used. I'm not putting all those in a post, it's easy to see them side by side below.

This first render was another version of my Chandler, then I did more tweaking.  I used DOF for the background too.  I love how those two products work together- the Doris Curtain and the Cinematic5 !

Original on your left, my tweaked Chandler on the right. A couple things I did-

Made the lower face a tad bit longer. 
Brought both lips in a bit on the depth, they really stuck out.
Reduced volume on both lips too.
Slanted the eyes.
Made more of an upper eyelid.
Lowered the nose. 
Slanted the eyes. 
Removed a lot of the nose bump.
More nose wings and lowered the tip of the nose.
Widened the mouth. I like my mouth corners to come to the pupil of the eye. 
Deepened the philtrum and made the peak space wider.
Widened the eyes, further apart. Also enlarged the eyes.
Widened nose bridge.
Changed all the curves on the inside of the lip (where the lips meet. Both inner (toward corners) and middle) 

This was done as a contribution to the thread about misinterpreting the NVITWS acronym (so that it's not "Naked Vicky In a Temple With a Sword", although V is supposed to remain "Vicky").

Given that I have actually previously turned (the G8F version of) Victoria 7 into a robot for one of my universes, I loaded up that character set as something a bit different (but still Victoria based).

And so, this is "Newfangled Vicky Impersonating The White Stripes".
(As for whether the acronym should have A's in it... well, that's the version that was in the challenge thread title, and the whole idea started as part of another discussion on creativity and inspiration, so I still see it as within the spirit of the challenge).

I don't recall its being different - after all therev may be several matches in different groups.

When you make a search with Actor selected, let's say "victoria", do her morphs show for you at the right there in Actor or it shows also blank like mine?

It used to show to me, but now i have to navigate all the way to where it is...

If this is DS, and if you install the PowerLoader files for Victoria 4 and Stephanie 4, then you don't need to run the batch file - just use the dialogue that pops up on loading Victoria 4 or Stephanie 4 to select the add-on to be loaded.

The OP states that he is using Poser 9

Sorry, missed that.

I purchased these today

SY Ultra Templates Genesis 8 Female(s), SY Victoria 4 and Michael 4 Clones for Genesis 8

They both show up in my product list on the website, but they do not appear in the DIMM (Install manager), The sku comes up blank in the dimm as well. I had to manully install them. Is this a know problem with those two products? Wonder haow many other I have purchased and overlooked like this?

They do show up in daz connect, I guess that's the best way to install them?

the file you need is (i think)

here's a thread that talks about it and where to find it.

@ Divamakeup Thank you :)

 

 

So to understand this thread.....

Daznites are supposed to take the letters/acronym 

NVITWS

and create a render that follows the letters' meaning as a theme.

This is a serious challenge.

Yes, but we shouldn't exclude Victoria 5 and 6 

 

Or Victoria 1, 2 and 3 ...

I'm having a devil of a time getting S4 to work properly and I'd love some help. I think I got her working yesterday, but today I can't figure out how I did it. Here's my (failed) workflow:

Open Poser 9 -> open "Figures" menu -> double-click "Stephanie 4" to load figure into the scene. The figure ("Victoria 4") loads with her feet sticking through the ground plane. I go to the Victoria 4 -> Parameters menu and try the morph dials under "Other." I move the dials back and forth, including seemingly appropriate ones like "Stephanie (Body)", but none of them have any effect. I think it's safe to say that this doesn't work.

Seeing morph injections in the pose menu... Load Victoria 4 -> open Poses menu -> INJ Stephanie 4. No new morphs appear. So this also doesn't work, apparently.

What do I do? V4 and Morphs++ seem to work fine, but Stephanie (which apparently requires direct use of V4) does not.

Who the hell is Lydia 7? There was a PA character named Lydia for Victoria 7, is that the one you mean?

Flortale has indeed lamented to us on several occasions that nothing in G8 has matched the beauty of Lydia for Victoria 7.

Given that this now (finally) gives us a second data point to give a bit more idea what it actually is about Lydia that is so captivating, my answer would be that there are plenty of morphs that can define/plump up the lips and give a sturdy jaw to pretty much whichever character. It's not my thing, but it's not particularly difficult to morph other characters to have that look.

Lydia for Victoria 7 is the goddess.  She's the Queen and has yet to be dethroned, but the character in the OP is pretty amazing and rivals Lydia IMO. 
We need a Genesis 8 female that is so beautiful, that it defies what's even possible in real life. A level of human beauty that no one can aspire to.

“We” need this? Because you seem to be the only person who feels so strongly about Lydia. 

In a certain industry, Lydia dominates, as does Lililth 7 and Ophelia 7.

Hmm...wonder what "industry" that is.

Accordng to Groucho, Lydia was a tattooed lady. 

Aye  and  You can learn a lot from Lydia
