Hi everyone, meet April

So, after finishing up all the original Girl morphs, I ran down my list of Aiko 3 morphs. The first doll on the list without a morph injection file is April. She was originally a fantasy elf-type character, but I scrapped the elf ears and made a few other modifications. And she's adorable!

I rendered her in this scene because after I finished transferring her morph to file, I lost interest in doing more morphs. I thought this was going to be a quick image but it took over 7 hours from start to finish Four of those hours were spent rendering! I re-textured the wood of the bench; the texture that came with it was unacceptable to me. Both the lamp post and basket were from other sets. The stone is a simple plane with a resourced pattern done in GIMP. I made use of creative placements of both April and the camera to help make her skirt work. Us DAZ/Poser artists know all too well what conforming skirts do when a model sits!

I used a total of five lights here: UE2, an AreaLight to throw shadow, two stock distants for specular, and a third stock distant set to diffuse only, as a fill light to tone down the shadows on April.

Like all the other dolls, April has her own personality and it took shape as I composed this piece. She's very earthy, honest, and generally good-natured. Yep, she's a Taurus, just like me
