Vaernima, The making of (for Darkwing) Options

[Neela]

Darkwing said he would like to see WIP pics in case any else wanted to try Poser. I use poser primarily because I have no ability whatsoever to create new meshes at the moment. I am learning and hope to be able to soon. However, Poser is nice since you can use existing meshes and change them with easy to use morphs. You can also create new morphs for meshes using the tools in poser, but for most of my needs I use the highly detailed models already out there. I decided to do Vaernima next. So the first thing I would do is to create the character. For this I use Victoria 3. A beautiful and highly morphable model created by Daz3d and she is also completely free So I load her up from my library of models.

Next step is to make her look like Vaernima. I am going by the old picture of her from Daggerfall. So to me she looks like an emaciated old woman with very prominant cheekbones, slightly elfish ears, sunken eyes, ect. I had purchased alot of different morphs for Victoria 3 so that I could use her for just about anything. So I load the additional morph targets into the model giving me extra "dials" to change just about anything I want to the model. I start with the face... changing various dials until I get the look I am envisioning.
