Help finding a character

Posts: 11,604
I'm working on a series and need a character that looks like her:
Preferably G3F but I'd settle for G2F or V4 if I need to.
Anyone know of any characters/figures that resemble her? Particularly the cheek area, face shape, and skin tone - the rest (nose, eyes, mouth) I might be able to get the look of with face morphs and the brows with some photoshop work if needed. I'd really like to find a character/figure that's as close to her look as possible though. Any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated! :)

You could try Cara by Raiya. http://www.daz3d.com/cara-hd-for-victoria-6
You would have to morph her up a bit.
How about this one for G2. I did some quick morphing to get the look (if you want the morph preset, let me know), you can play with the morphs yourself to get the exact look you want. Read the product page carefully though as you need several things to make it work.

this is a quick one with Jazmine as a basis, take out all of victoria 7 and dial half half Jazmine and Bethany. Materials in 3delight, so the skin colour might act different in Iray.
Wow! These look really good! :) Thank you, guys!
@Taozen The brows and eyes are really close - the face shape looks really similar too. I think you almost nailed it!
@Linwelly I'm liking the cheek area and chin. Sadly, I think Jasmine's skin is going to be too dark - as I looked up her promo images which where done it Iray and her skin is a lot darker. I'm kind of wishing I can mix and match both you and Taozen's work into one character. lol
Thank you for the suggestions, guys!
If you ,like I can try if I get something in iray but no guarantee...
and I can play around with teh skin settings, there is always an option to alter it
ok here is my second ever Iray render ;9 I'm not really sure, what I did but I removed all lights and slapped one generic Iary render setting on it. My CPU got a hear attack to do Iray in this heat.
As you expected the skin is somewhat darker but I guess you could try and take her to photoshop/gimp and lighten it up
If you've got Cayman's Legacy UV product, I'm remembering a some of Virtual World's V4 skins. Character was named Ebony, and came in both lighter and darker variants. This was years ago, so they are designed for 3Dlight. Surreality also has a wide range of V4 characters with a wide range of skintones, but a lot of her stuff was weighted toward Poser use.
Thanks! Here's a quick Iray render, using V3Digitimes Iray Smart Converter:

It's a lot brighter than the 3DL render (it was probably too dark), but I imagine there are ways to darken the skin if it's too bright. Eye reflections are lost too but that should be fixable as well.
But if you don't have all the required stuff already it may become an expensive character...
Thank you, Linwelly. I really apprecaite you taking the time to help - and risking the life of your poor cpu!
The Iray render turned out gorgeous! I really like that skin texture. Sadly, I think it's probably going to be quite a bit too dark for the character I need. The brows would need quite a bit of work as well. I'm definitely going to have to get that hair - it's really cool and one of the few hair styles I've seen in the Daz shop that would work well for people of color. I saw it with some Kimo renders but you really sold it for me! :)
I hope you're able to do Iray renders more often - that came out really good! :D

That looks really good - really close to the character I'm looking for. So is that just P3D Ruby from Rendo with the G2F face morphs from Daz?
I'm thinking the skin might be too light but might be fixable in photoshop. I'm really liking the eyes and those great arched brows - those are pretty much perfect.
Thank you for doing this and taking the time to help me - that's really sweet of you!
The Ebony Bundle looks pretty good for perhaps trying to get the right skin tone. The expressions in that bundle look really cute too. I'll check out Surreality's stuff too. Thank you for the suggestions, JOdel! :)
No problem.
I took a look at the texture, it actually uses the V4 texture that it comes with it for the G2 version. That's why you need this one:
http://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-for-genesis-2-female
Maybe it goes on sale during the PA sale. It's great to have in any case IMO as there's a ton of V4 textures out there you can use on G2 with it. Otherwise I think there are tutorials on how to do use V4 textures on G2 manually if you don't mind doing the work involved.
And then you need the DAZ G2F Head Morphs plus the V4 base and V4++ morphs (though I don't think the V4++ morphs are necessary to use the G2 version of the character).
And then some Iray shaders or some Iray converter of some kind, as it only has 3DL shaders.
As for the skin color it's actually very easy to change, just change the Base color of the skin, lips and whatever parts you want to change. I've used some light greys here to retain the original color tone but you can also use colors to alter the color tone as well. See screenshots.
You are welcome Diva, at some point I need to overcome my ignorance of Iray so this was a good excuse
the hair is Kylan hair http://www.daz3d.com/kylan-hair-for-genesis-3-male-s-and-female-s and yes I like it very much and its for both males and females.
Just came across this one:
https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=116629
It's G3 and with Iray shaders, with some morphing and color adjustment it might do as well (and they have a 15% coupon today btw).
@Linwelly - for someone new to Iray I think you did an awesome job! And yeah, that's the hair! A total "must get" for me! :D
@Taozen - thank you! She's gorgeous! I've never bought anything from Rendo before - but dang, it looks like I might need to start! lol :)
Uh - DAZ is going to kill me now lol
This coupon, as is often the case with Rendo coupons, does not work on sale items, so will give no further discounts to the item linked, or any other item with a discount. The coupons on their store are near useless, I have not used one in a year or so, where I used to use them regularly before that.
You're right, forgot to check. The Prime coupon for this month does work on sale items though. But I agree, most of their coupons are useless these days, I used them a lot before, now it's rare that I use one.
