Dan mentioned it took 6 months to develope V3, and that M3 was being worked on. So I figure the timeline is less than 6 months from the release date of V3, maybe sooner. I believe it will be a few months before M3 is released , but not his week (I wish). There's also a new male injection morph package and texture coming out from Daz in the next couple of weeks that looks very good in the previews that Anton has posted, so that might take care of your male character needs. Dan will probably start doing teasers in the forum about a month before the actual release of M3, the same way he did with V3. Remember though, the upgrade to M3 will be cheaper than the full price, probably by about $10. The upgrade for V3 was good for use with V1 as well as V2. V1 and M1 cost only $12.97 now in the loft, so you could use Mike 1 for a net of $3 or so until M3 comes out. Then again, the CD of Mike 2 with the clothing is well worth the price. Decisions...decisions....
