Pics 111: Gen 8 Ariane with Legacy V4 Skin
Added 2023-04-13 21:00:02 +0000 UTC
Last week's experiment with making a Daz Studio Victoria 8 version of Ariane went OK, but the MRL Gem skin texture just felt off. This week I found a way to apply a Victoria 4 texture to a Victoria 8 body using this script.
Mixing 50% Aurore Head and 50% MRL Gem2 head and Aurore body and applying the MRL Ariana skin to it using the script, I end up with an even closer looking DazV8 Ariane. The only major adjustment I had to make was with the eyebrows which ended up too high. I found that lowering the eyebrows 30% put them right where they should be. Also made some adjustments to the lips that looked too thin.
One of the reasons for doing this is there is a large library of clothing designed for Victoria 8, and with a V8 Ariane, I can wear those clothes as seen in these pictures.
Might need a little tweaking here or there, but it is close enough to work for instances where V4 won't work. (besides clothing, there are poses and animations requiring V8)
SITAR NEWS
Tomorrow I am releasing Something's In The Air 1.0 to Patreons. It's almost the same as 0.991 except the voice work is now done for all of Rachel Meets Ariane. If no additional issues are found I am planning on releasing it publically Thursday April 20th on itch.io.
