rdhceo; What you want to do is going to establish what models you want to look at. For out of the box ease, you probably want to go with V2 and M2 (also, if you plan on buying any of the character sets, such as the ones that Dark Whisper sells, then you will -need- V2, as she is the base for the work). V3 has just come out, but her joint set up is different from the earlier versions, so none of the clothes conform to her without some work. Dacort's NataliaNatrixa (the full package has a human figure, and an 'elf' figure with 4 digits instead of 5 ) is a very good one for fantasy renders, as Dan has provided lots of figure altering morphs in N3. Dina is also a good one, and I think still holds the polygon count record. This makes it easier to create morphs for face and body, but it does require a system with lots of memory However, both suffer from a comparative lack of clothing. Vina D is a derivative of the Dina model ,that has been morphed and adjusted so that she can wear Vickie's clothing. Dina Z is the Dina mesh morphed into a Rubenesque (read heavy) figure. Almost nothing for her at this time, although the creator is working on some things.
