MOTF Session 5

I was forced to recast and redesign the part for The Mother. We just could not pull it off technically—‘we’ meaning DAZ Studio, Curious Labs Poser 4, Uzilite and me. None of this work is superior to a dedicated, human illustrator so we are trying to do the best we can under the circumstances. The Cool Coils hairstyle for The Mother was not working correctly (in DAZ Studio) so with the new mother we are using a short-afro texture map:

This shot was rendered in Poser and the non-polygonal hairstyle provides a lower memory footprint—this is now a concern because the project will probably go ahead in memory-intensive Poser instead of DAZ Studio. This design is based on the excellent work by Dalinise—a name evidently coming out of Germany. The wide shot reveals a body this not that unrealistic:

I’m not trying to perpetuate eating disorders among impressionable young people with more toxic fantasy imagery. I could make the breasts a bit smaller but remember this mother had a baby. Let’s say she lost most of her weight by swimming in her backyard pool—but not all of the fat came off… that’s not so unrealistic. I would put some ‘artistic’ stretch marks around her navel just to mark her in a ceremonial way but I’m just not that talented…
