Are you tired of characters that don't bend well? Well look no further.
I would like to introduce you to my first full character, Alita, that was carefully sculpted in zBrush. Alita is an 18 year old Japanese-American ballet student that is ready for your modeling needs and made to perfection with 18 specialized JCMs (Joint Correction Morphs) to help with those pesky bends. Alita comes with a clothing helper known as a projection morph to help with most clothing; as well as, an included UV correction for the torso/body to smooth out distortions in the materials. Last but not least, she has a custom fiber eyebrow attachment.
Package includes:
2 Body Presets (Base and Alt Body)
Custom Made Full Figure "IRAY ONLY" Skin
4 Shaping presets with 4 remove presets
5 Eye Textures (10 Presets for G8F and 8.1)
9 Eyelash Settings, 2 Lash Options (select surface before applying),4 thickness presets
Custom Fibermesh Brows with 5 colors to choose from.
1 custom smile expression
18 specially crafted JCMs or corrections for Alita
1 UV correction for the torso/body
Once downloaded, just drag and drop into your "My Library" folder to get started.
Open DAZ Studio and load a fresh Genesis 8 or 8.1 as she works great on both.
Once the base G8F or 8.1 is loaded, there are two options to load Alita:
1. Search the Parameters Tab to locate Alita's morphs:
BG Alita, applies the full preset plus scaling (MASTER SLIDER).
BG3D_Alita Body, applies just the body (no scaling).
BG3D_Alita Head, applies just the head (no scaling).
*Bonus - BG3D_Alita Shape ALT, applies and alternate body shape to Alita (no scaling).
2. Alternatively go to your Content Library and under People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/BG3D/BG3D Alita you can find presets already made for you to get started quickly. This folder contains a FULL Preset (!BG Alita Full Shape Apply) and other shaping presets with included remove presets.
**NOTE: The MASTER SLIDER preset will apply scaling to Alita's Head and Body Morphs. If you wish to mix and match with other morphs please use the ""!BG Alita Full Shape Remove" preset first before applying other morphs manually.
The materials folder contains a full character material preset for IRAY ONLY!
The included material presets for Alita are:
!BG Alita Full Skin Apply
4 Extra Eye Colors and default which is Brown (5 Presets for G8F and 5 for 8.1).
BG Alita Eyes (default) Brown
BG Alita Eyes - Blue
BG Alita Eyes - gray
BG Alita Eyes - Hazel
BG Alita Eyes - Violet
9 Custom Eyelash Shader Settings, 2 Lash Options (select surface before applying), 4 thickness presets!!
1 Custom Fiberbrow Attachment with 5 Brow Textures: Blond, Violet, Black, Brown and Auburn. There are other materials inside the folder to manually create your own colors. TIP: Manually drop the Opacity on the browns to get a lighter touch to the brows.
Tips: Alita works best with dForce clothing, so it is recommended to use them whenever possible. It is not necessary to use dForce to get great results, just a personal preference I found when using Alita in scenes.
Use the GrowingUp by Zev0 (GU Clothing Support) projection morph in conjunction to Alita's projection morph to assist with smoothing out some issues with some clothing (Must own this product), but not needed in most cases. Increase soothing on clothing (3-5 smoothing) to assist as well.
Hair and clothing used in promos are NOT included.

Romina was a joint effort between myself and ND3D; as all my characters are carefully sculpted by zBrush and will always have added JCMs to help with those bends.
Have fun with Alita and check out ND Bg Romina for G8-8.1 as well! I will be posting a mixed character preview of Alita-Romina soon so check this out.
