I also like the Sassy hair from Daz, but it takes forever to render,
being modelled of actual chunks instead of just a few transmaps.  Plus
it looks static, needs a few morphs to change its shape.

It's an array of 91 pointlights arranged in a half-hemisphere behind
the figure...I wanted that 'standing in front of a bright light' effect,
and had to fake it a little bit since I wasn't getting anything useful
with media.

Well, this is actually pretty much it, for this pic.  I'm not completely
satisfied with the shirt, but it's probably the best I'll get out of P5.
Ditto with the expression on the face ('cept for that I use P4...only
touch P5 for the cloth sim, and then with a 10' pole).

Hmm...I guess I could tweak it a little to reduce the smoking
appearance, but it'll involve opening the mouth and Poser figures
just don't do well with open mouths.  Plus I'd have to redrape the
stupid shirt.  previous post titled 'image without sss' is same
figure, with cyborg texture I'm kind of not working on, though I
should be...so, the thinness is somewhat relative.  she is, in
effect, a guinea pig for the cyborg bits, which puts a great deal
of strain on her organic bits.  muscles are all artificial (if
you're familiar with the series Gunslinger Girl, same idea, though
not sure whether those are organic or other).  have other picture
I'm working on that I was interrupted by the thought for this one,
will post it when it's somewhat more complete.
