Here's something I made with Aiko 4 and a lot of dial-turning. Would you consider buying a character or morph set for Aiko 6 that had more of a Western or Disney-esque look? Let DAZ know if you would. :)
I'd rather Aiko stay the in the unrealistic Eastern/Anime theme (we have plenty of realistic girls with Vicky, Steph, etc) and have an entirely new figure that is based on the western/Disney theme, though 3D Universe's shapes tend to cover that pretty well.
I am liking Aiko 6, but I have found one problem with the Lotus figure - it is her Back Tattoo. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, or if there is a simple fix, but just testing her out, when I load the back tattoo and use just the default Studio light, I have a definite difference in seams.

Make sure you are consistent with the material shaders. There are two full sets--AoA SSS and Uber Surface Mats-- and it looks like you mixed them.
I'm most looking forward to Fisty's outfit from the current display of A6 wardrobe items. :)
i'm looking forward to the possible Fisty store sale with the release :lol: sparkle shaders!
Thanks for the support guys =) The cheongsam outfit (it has shoes too) is going to be included with one of daz' bundles so I doubt I will have store sale with it, there is something else coming soonish though that probably will so you shouldn't have to wait too long . . .
It's over a month later and Lee's out -- this'd be really handy to have right about now, wouldn't it? :-/

Well, I'd wager this will be in the Xiao Mei for Aiko 6 Premier Bundle next week.

Well, honestly, I think Lee will look a bit odd in it, but if it makes him happy... :)

Seriously, though -- shouldn't this've been out a few weeks ago? Yes, it's Lee that brings it to mind, but wasn't this supposed to be part of the wider A6 campaign?

They put together an 'extras' bundle for Aiko 6 the same way there was one for Olympia, and I think S6. In both those cases, the extras bundle came out with another figure. In this case they've told us specifically when that bundle is coming out: One week after Lee. If you bought Lee 6, you get 30% off the Xiao Mei (sp?) bundle coming out in one week.
The cheongsam was apparently named Xiao Mei's Finery or something, so...patience, grasshopper. :) One more week is not so long...

Yep; and it was safely ensconced in my product library about an hour after release. Now...to find time to render...
-- Morgan
You and me both ... and I don't even have A6 ... LOL
But it is an irresistible package from the dress to the character (I hope I can at least use the skins - or does Xiao Mei use a A6 UV-map?) to the hair ... LOVE IT!

Same here. :)
Well, Aiko 6 will come... later... maybe....
Daz really is evil, lol, but lee get percent off xiao mei bundle, but xiao mei bundle get a percentage off and even more if you own lee, I'm getting the xiao mei bundle but now I want the razor thorn bundle lol
You and me both ... and I don't even have A6 ... LOL
But it is an irresistible package from the dress to the character (I hope I can at least use the skins - or does Xiao Mei use a A6 UV-map?) to the hair ... LOVE IT!
Even better, she uses V5 UV map so you can even use the skin in Gen1 if you want. (I think you have to own V5 though for it to work on Gen 1, it's one of the defaults included with Gen 2 though, so free)
So between my order Sunday and my order today, totaling $44.29, I was able to get the, Creature Creator HD for Genesis 2 Males, Creature Creator Add-ons for Genesis 2 Males, Xiao Mei Bundle, Yin Yang for Xiao Mei Clothes, UltruMarine Ocean, Ocean Wide, and two of the freebies available, so definitely pleased with the savings.
Ok, that took quite a lot longer to release than I expected. RazorThorn was the "vaguely sci-fi, vaguely anime-latex" outfit that I was talking about on page 7 or so...
Of course, by now I've already got two more items on my to-texture list, and something really cool that I would love to have some time to start modelling...

Niiiice - I have V5! Genesis is still more widely used by me.
But I have to say Genesis2 is getting sooo nice content that they are slowly catching up.
I did a few material tweaks. Specularity was turned down on the dress and the hair. I also turned down the velvet strength on the skin/lips to 5%. Maybe turned down the specularity too much on the cheongsam.
Here is a another Xiao Mei render using the same clothes, hair and set. I think this material is from Xiao Mei's Finery rather than the add on textures by ShanasSoulmate.

Only 30 % of Aiko in her, but still some Aiko :)
I second that request.
Been really looking forward to that one. :)
I'm also anxiously awaiting Karynna by Thorne :cheese:
Holidays snap :)

Playing a bit with Aiko 6 and Darkon for G2M, which suits her perfectly.
In case people would like to be able to combine A6 with some A3 goodness....

There will be a G2F version. :)

Any news on when this dolly will be released? :-)

Here's what she looks like..
On the left, no Aiko 6 but the Evolution morphs (her body uses some)
On the right no extra morphs at all.
Sorry, I haven't gotten the hair through my cart yet, so I borrowed Phoebe's.

But I have to say Genesis2 is getting sooo nice content that they are slowly catching up.
First render with Xiao Mei. Also used:
Xiao Mei's Finery HD for Aiko 6 and Genesis 2 Female(s)
Yin Yang for Xiao Mei Clothes
Short Ponytail
The Streets Of Asia 2
Photo Studio - Point and Shoot 2
Advanced Ambient Light
This is rendered at gamma 2.2.
I did a few material tweaks. Specularity was turned down on the dress and the hair. I also turned down the velvet strength on the skin/lips to 5%. Maybe turned down the specularity too much on the cheongsam.
