Description This took two attempts actually. 

The first (Before) attempt just really bothered me in post-render. Her toes were glitching through the boots, her hands are angled weird from the dual katana poses/grips, even though I liked how the Absinthe Reign (G2F clothing on G3F) cape looked from this angle. 

The second was much more pleasing to the eyes for me. I cranked up the lighting a tad since the previous render looked a little TOO dark for my taste. Scrapped the dual katanas for now as I wasn't feeling how the poses for the few katana items/props I have look. Don't worry, I'm come up with something to improvise. The Absinthe cape is actually "floating" off her shoulders even though I have it parented to her outfit. That's something else I didn't notice until after I finished this render, so I'll have to goof around until either I fix that or come to the point where I like her look without it. I don't want her looking too much like Taki from Soul Calibur, y'know?

Again, far from "finished" in my head but at least it's progress

For reference, Kanashimi's original render design is here ====>

She looks sexy! Personally I'd prefer some high heels but she is your OC

I'm not completely sold on her look. Hell, all of my ladies would fight in heels if it would work out in Daz3D xD

I would mix the shoes with high heels. That's what I did with Viona. Play around with opacity. The top and bottom is different shoes.

I swear, you and thomvinson are blowing my mind with these small tips that make a massive difference. I can't thank you two enough when it comes to me feeling like I'm banging my head on a brick wall tinkering with this thing at times xD

As you can see, thom method is good for boots but it doesn't work on open toe shoes. However both are usable

I might have saved that first render in postwork and just done a spot render of the corrected foot to paste in GIMP. For what it's worth, all my characters in boots get the foot visibility turned off so that this is never an issue. Harder to manage with shoes or open toe designs though.

She's got a great look!

Holy shit snacks! I NEVER thought about turning off foot visibility for boots. Brilliant, my friend! Any tips to make her cape connect to her shoulders properly? Or maybe I should just remake her as a G2F to save myself the headache even though I like the base Senna model I used for her with some tweaks.

The new dForce capes for G8 are pretty sweet, most of them have a ton of pose handles even if you don't use dForce. I'm not backtracking, all my new figures are G8 unless they are monsters or something of that nature. But having said that, I do still use a lot of legacy figures that have not yet been updated.

The only one of my characters that is a G8F is Amara.

Mind enlightening me though? Are they better than the previous generations? I've been just working with whatever has the parts I like without too many hiccups 😂😅

G3 & G8 bend so much nicer that G2-V6, that's much nicer. And G8 has extra face bones for improved facial features and expressions.
