what a joke. why buy a texture if you cannot 'use' it? no offense, but im not so overly impressed with this product to shell out $30-40 for it then have to consult a nonstandard and insanely restrictive EULA every time i think of using it. the texture doesnt look much different than the standard V2 or V3 texture, as for the face morph - it bears a likeness, but someone could create one quite easily anyways, given the poser toolset, with no legal restrictions on its use. now im going to step on some toes - but its never stopped me before and ill say what i think. the only selling point for this texture/character is the fact that its a likeness of someone semi-famous - a media wet dream. its a branding ploy - the only thing selling this product is the name. and since you can only use the images you create for personal use, and not commercially or in anything suggestive (or anything not 'pretty', lol), what purpose does it serve? if you want to wank off to images of anne-marie goddard, your money is much better spent picking up her latest spread in playboy or penthouse - at least youll get a better likeness. as for the whole 'damage to reputation' issue? please. i think its conceited and rediculous to think that the likeness between this vicky 3 texture and character and the actual annemarie are so strong that people are going to mistake them for one another... and that any 'damage to reputation' will result to her pristine reputation from suggestive poser images created with it -- lets face it - its not like were talking about the digital likeness of the pope here. cheers, -gabriel
