BG3D Katie NE Premium Pack for G8/8.1/G9 Female
DESCRIPTION:
Greetings! My specially crafted character Katie is now available for the G8 character with my exclusive made Navel Geograft. I have also included my newly designed PBR SKIN for Katie NE, with some updated additions to the materials. With 37 included morphs to help you mold this character to your scene, you will not have any issues with bends as with all my characters they are built for any pose. I take all the work out of it with my custom jcms, so all you will have to do is render away wthout the hassle of burying bad bends with layers of clothing or post-work to get rid of these errors. Each and every character is rebuilt in zBrush and the JCMs are directly custom to each character as well. So happy rendering!
General Navel Geograft Info:
I have created a separate UV for the G8 Perfect Navel (v1.0). This will allow the creator to manually create new skins for the Navel if the buyer knows how to use the DAZ transfer tool, and fix the seams in an editor. For the moment i am working on a script that will allow the user the ability to transfer the skin more easily. Unlike the G9 version, where I had to add geometry, the G8 version I had to remove and then re-add geometry. In future addition I will rework this, if the need arises.
So, for the moment, the G8 version will work with other G8 characters, but the buyer will need to make the adjustments to be able to use on other G8/8.1 Females to work correctly. I wanted to release these characters now, but i will be including a HOW-TO PDF at a later date to teach others to use the DAZ built-in texture transfer tool; albiet, they will still need to fix the textures with an editor. With the provided TransferUV I made it simple to correct these seams.
Please read the included documents for proper usage and limitations for the included geograft.

Basic Knowledge:
As with all my characters, they are based around the Joint Correction Morphs (JCMs), that help the buyer utilize the character without worrying about bad bends. Also, when making the JCMs, I make them easier to use with collisions so clothing will not clip through limbs when bends are closer to the body. Specifically, the Shins are Keyed JCMs!! Meaning they will start their bend cycle once the shin is closer to the back of the thigh (Bending the Shins all the way), giving a more realistic feel and look!
I take no short cuts in quality. I have taken the hard work out of corrections for you, so pose and get rendering quickly!!
The JCMs are baked into the Body or Head for their individual area morphs/bends to work correctly.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
I have included 2 Main Preloads as this will load any character seamlessly. These Preloads will get you started quickly! I have already provided the Preloads with each body part highlighted as a Favorite. ONCE the Preload is loaded, select the Figure, go to the Parameters Tab and Select Favorites. The Base and Athletic Presets for both Genesis 8 and 8.1 Female will load the Scaling only. NOTE: All key JCM's are tied into the Base Body, it is best to at least have the body dialed in above 60% for minimal use for JCM realism if you like to mix your own figure into Katie.
Once one of Katie's presets are dial in, there are a few manual dials for you to choose from. So if you load the PRESET, in Parameters TAB all KEY MORPHS will be in your favorites, so select Favorites and you will see everything you need to get running quickly and adjust what you like on the fly!
I have provided a couple of Manual Shaping Morphs to be utilized at the users command. Including one of the most important, for the FEET, this presets should be dialed to the same settings as the Body Dial Setting. I have provided a crucial (G8F Shoe Helper) to return the characters feet back into the original Genesis 8/8.1 Base. This will allow you to use ANY G8 shoes without distortion. It is highly recommended to use this ONLY when fitting shoes as the base characters feet are sculpted to that specific character and aesthetically pleasing versus the base G8 feet.
I have include a Clothing Helper with this character to help with most clothing. I have this morph highlighted as a favorite with the Preset Preloads so the user can dial it down if needed.
