15% longer, actually. Funnily enough, you did not notice that her arms are 7% longer than normal.

They're a dark blue. But, you may want to increase the brightness on your monitor as there are some details.

Can't argue with that.

Heh.

Thank you all for checking that out for me. I had no problem seeing it, but since it was my skydrive account, I should be able to see it.

Now, the funny thing is that Gina, is just Jillian with a different skin, hair and outfit. (Okay, and a slightly larger bust.)

Not sure what you mean by 15%, she is as tall from hip to knee as she is from hip to top of head, if she were to grab a knee up to her chest, her knee would be past her ears and up to the crown of her head instead of by her shoulder.

IIRC normal leggy proportions are an extra 5%, it looks like you have an extra 50%.

That is interesting, because it totally isn't as obvious with Jillian, maybe it's the clothes, especially the equipment on the belt which draws attention to Gina's mid-line that emphasizes how much of a midget on stilts she is.

While I wouldn't have a problem rendering that picture . . . I think the Powers that Be would sieze up if I posted a link here . . .. ;-)

But, I think you're wrong, and I'll have to check that out when I get time in DAZ.

V4's standard is 7.5%, but, yes, I'm familiar with that proportion.

Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of rendering another picture, or I'd give you a basic V4 to compare with Gina. Gina's legs are only 15% longer (their Y-Axis scale is 115%).

That's, actually, something I thought was interesting, as well. Gina does look much different than Jillian, even though the only difference is the skin, hair, and clothing. Also, Gina's breasts are 20% larger.

Oh, and both images are after I gave the original Jillian a sammich. But only one.

V4's basic leg proportions are already very long. She's got a super models proportions as her baseline - which means that when you then increase her leg length, you get *very* long legs, instead of her default "long" legs.

Which is fine and everything as long as that's what you meant for her to have ;)

EDIT: She's 8.1 heads tall instead of 7.5 - the extra height is in her legs (defaulting to 4 heads tall), which means her baseline legs are +15% already. If V4 is 6 feet tall by default, and you adjust her legs to bring her back to 7.5 heads, the character ends up 5' 6 2/3" tall - there's 5 1/3" inches of exceptional leg length surplus going on with this girl at baseline, plus or minus according to individual variation, taste, etc.

Stacking another 15% on top of that gets you +35% - not exactly the +50% folks are eyeballing it at, but very dramatic.

A couple semi-randoms:

Pro tip for alien abduction victims - try not to get abducted while swimming, they may mistake you for an aquatic lifeform.

Both look great! I really like the hair in the abduction victim.

Very nice.

Um, without venturing into Mark territory, his bulges seem to be in the wrong places...

He's also missing his shoulders, traps don't go to the biceps, there's shoulder muscles in between, even with massive traps:

Gina's legs are 5 heads high (including her heels in the picture I measured them in; where she's standing contrapposto), and she's 5'10" in engine. V4's "default" height is 5'10", so Gina did get some "shrinking" done. (PM'd you two a link.)

... What's really funny is that picture is The Freak, from DAZ3D. Probably the original Freak, not Freak4, it's hard to tell.

Now that I've got over my giggles...

If you mean his pants, there was actually a lot of fighting going on with that pair of pants. Drove me around the bend.

I've got a serious weakness for traps, which makes me blind to lack-of-realism around them some times (I suppose like some men and the sort of borderline beach-ball breasts look).
