    And although shes V6 not V4 this is by far my favorite Indian character:

    FWArt and Sabby did an amazing job on her. Maybe there's a V4 skin in there as well? Can't hurt to ask them.

    Do a search for Semiramis by StudioArtVartanian and renapd at Renderosity - I don't think I can post the link. She's by far the most life-like Indian woman I've seen as she's based on an Indian actress. Usually Indian characteristics are played down and more emphasis is given on the make-up and henna but with this character you get a great morph as well!

    Thanks, I would agree her morph is very realistic.

    Thanks for all the links everyone, This has been super helpful. I Dont think I would have found most of these characters on my own.

    I have Shadiyah. She is pretty. She could be from anywhere from Saudi Arabia to India. The problem I have with that model is she's V3 with a custom body. This means most of the standard V3 clothes don't fit her. In some renders, I had to use the default V3 body with the Shadiyah head. In Poser, you can make any clothing dynamic, but in DS, the options are limited. I converted the V3 Shadiyah textures to V4 using the TC2 program, but I haven't tried to dial a V4 morph to look like Shadiyah. The textures are nicely detailed, and include both jewels and henna. It's a nice texture set to have, but not a V4 Indian as requested.

    Have you reworked the character in your picture? I looked up Semiramis and the character looks different.
    Your render looks great, reminds me of one of those Bollywood posters.
    I agree, most of the characters that are supposed to be Indian are really not that Indian looking (granted India is a very ethnically diverse nation)... The characters pretty much rely on the henna, eyeliner, bindis and jewelry to convey the look...
    Not that they are badly done... Just the facial features and skin tones are not exactly convincing.

    Also agree somewhat, I think the actual character shapes for Indian women is less of an issue, some have done a pretty good job there.
    But skin mats is where it usually falls short IMO.
    I'd really like to see a natural looking south Asian character set for Gen 6 that can hold its own without henna and bling.

    Good Indian skin textures are hard to find, I guess the photo resources just ain't there.

    And while I'm at it, Indian clothing is usually consists of belly exposing sari's. I'm half tempted to do a Salwar type set - but with out an Indian character to compliment it, I'm pretty sure it would be a commercial flop.

    India is a VERY ethnically diverse nation. Remember, what you see in Bollywood is comparable to what you see in Hollywood. The rest of us don't necessarily look like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman either! :lol: We have people from India at work who have very dark skin. That dark shade is different from African. All of the Indian styled models I've seen aren't dark enough, and their noses are too small.

    She does look different but that's probably because I used the darker skin tone material and maybe most of the promos were done with the lighter skin. I didn't make any changes to the morphs but lighting and posing also has a lot to do with how it turns out. I mainly use bagginsbill's environment sphere (with .hdr plugged in to it) and idl but also a specular light and then do some colour correction in post. I'm glad you liked the final result as I was going for a Bollywood look since the character reminded me a little of Aishwarya Rai. I'm not sure if I used a subtle expression morph since that could alter a character too.

    With bit of tweaking this: http://www.daz3d.com/grace-for-v4 is not too shabby to use as a starting point for a darker indian skin, but it needs a bit of modding as I mentioned. (thicker eye brows, lightened the tone and added a subtle yellow tint)

    I used that to mash out this Indian looking teen character for a promo. The shopped brows kind of suck as it was a rush job, (but i only needed her for a distant render so it was sufficient.)

    Slimer, since you've already reworked Shadiyah's skin for V4, get GeX2 and transfer the morph onto Genesis - it should have much less clothing issues then.

    About the skin... A general problem is that vendors make it quite even. Raiya, Valea and Shifting Images never do and thus their works are exceptional. Indian characters have dark skin quite often, but one must remember the hue is coffee (not chocolate like the skin of person's of African heritage). So, if you create a texture, decrease its warmth.

    Ecstasy has some nice bases to start with.

    @Kalypso, the Semiramis render certainly achieves the Bollywood actress promo shot look. Very nice render.

    @Cecilia, good idea ... if I was using Genesis. I'm still on DS3. Any day now, I intend to load up DS 4.7. Any day now... :shut:

    @Dogz, that looks nice. I have Grace. She has too much cinnamon in her skin tone, IMO. I worked on her quite a bit to get the look I wanted for an African-American. I also have V3 Sanura converted to V4 for a real dark tone. There's a render of the Sanura skin on A3 in my DA gallery:

    Sanura doesn't have any henna options, tho.

    One thing that is overdone is the henna. Henna is really only worn for special occasions, and pretty much is only on the hands, forearms and feet. Some of the henna tattoos look nice, but really cover too much of the body. I get they are for fantasy characters sometimes, but if one is going for a regular world character, the henna needs to be toned down. My wife is from India and a while back I was doing something for Diwali for her, every character I showed her, her reaction was "what's with the henna, nobody does that".

    Of the Indian characters I've purchased the henna tats are always optional. So its not a major problem, It just how they are presented in promos. it would be refreshing to see a Indian woman presented naturally with out all the henna, bangles & sari etc. If its well done it really doesn't need all that gimmicky stuff to be convincing.
    In fact it wouldn't surprise me if so much cultural emphasis puts off as many buyers as it attracts.

    LOL so true. Yet another reason for doing some homework when it comes to creating ethnic characters.

    Semiramis is absolutely great, but MDD Rashi for V4.2 by Maddelirium (at Rendo) looks also very good. I own Semiramis, but Rashi is still on my wishlist. Those two are the only ones I know who look really 'Indian' to me.

    Freja used to have an attractive but sometimes buggy Indian V4 character called Bindi up at Rendo:

    You could try contacting Freja privately to see if you could buy a copy directly from her.

    Liquid Rust's Naiad looks somewhat like a particular Bollywood actress to me: http://www.daz3d.com/naiad

    Some of my free dialspun face morphs are inspired by Indian or Pakistani performers (althought the end result is usually not a good match for the inspiration), and might be useful for you. Please check the requirements in the description before downloading.

    Rashi and Semiramis are in a bundle at Rero at the moment, along with Sundari and Kismet. That bundle really shows the diversity on the Indian subcontinent.

    I just added Bindi to my wishlist there, so yes, she's still available.

    Sorry for the mixup about Bindi-I was misreading the product page (been so long since I was on Rendo I forgot where the add to cart button was, LOL).

    Have we mentioned Surreality's Chandra and the Chandra add-on Devi?
