Customers with a Poser 11, 12 or 13 license will now find the new La Femme 2 Lite figure available for free download inside their Content Library|Purchases|Included Content or on the Poser Download page at https://www.posersoftware.com/downloads.  If you're ready to add a new female figure that is life-like and fun to use in your Poser scenes, read on.


La Femme 2 is a new figure created from La Femme, but completely reworked and greatly improved.

OVERVIEW

-A-pose base allows for more natural shoulder movement and easier creation of realistic clothing to fit her.
-Entirely new shape with realistic proportions offers you a natural look out of the box.
-New facial controls inspired by techniques widely used in modern character animation allows for more natural face expressions with ease.
-Made specially with content creators in mind, for easier and better quality asset creation for the figure.
-Thoroughly tested by the Poser Software beta testing team AND the Renderosity Quality Assurance team, ensuring perfectionistic-level quality.

MODELING

-Mesh topology follows the greater landmarks of the body, to allow for better muscle detail and highly detailed face morphs without as much need for HD morphing.
-Improved UV mapping makes texture asymmetry possible throughout, allowing creators to make more natural-looking characters and details like heterochromia.
-Designed for subdivision in rendering, while still allowing for HD morphing for special shapes.

RIGGING

-Less JCMs allow for easier conforming clothing creation.
-Different dials to show and hide posing handles - decide if you want to see body posing chips, facial expression chips and/or the new facial control chips.
-Body part names are the same as LaFemme's, with all the detailed posing possibilities intact.

TEXTURES

-Skin textures with normal maps for greater detail, all in 4k resolution.
-2k resolution lash and brow transparency map.
-2k resolution eye textures, with normal map detail.

SHADERS

-Physical Surface shaders make the most of Superfly rendering, while still working well in Firefly.
-Poser 13-ready skin, making use of the new improved Subsurface Scattering methods, while automatically compatible with Poser 11 and Poser 12.

INCLUDED CONTENT

-Seven hand poses.
-Nine face expressions.
-Ten body poses and their mirror versions.
-Talk designer definitions.
-Walk designer files - requires Poser 13 or higher.

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY WITH LA FEMME

-LF poses work with LF2 with included Body Dial converter. Some tweaking may be needed because of differences in body proportions.
-Most hairstyles made for LF will fit LF2 with included INJs.
-Most props parented to the head area of LF will work in LF2 with easy adjustments in zTranslation.
-LF skin textures work out of the box in LF2. Eyes, eyebrows and eyelashes work with included material converter (which requires Poser 12 or higher).
-Dynamic clothing for LF will work in LF2 by dialing the included LF shape morph in the first frame of the simulation animation.
-Props are included with the Pro version to help you convert conforming clothing from LF to LF2.
