Thanks for the additional pictures, Carcinogen. I guess my focus is a bit different from most. Even discounting the other features of the package (textures, celebrity appeal, etc), I think $20.00 for a couple of really charming smile morphs is pretty reasonable. Most of the "new" characters I see (lovely as they are) are optimized for the default expression - most of the pictures I see in the galleries seem to be the same. I've always felt the best feature in any woman is her smile. Anything to enhance V3's capabilities in this area is to be seized upon with glee. I don't do "portrait" type renders, or even many close-ups because most of the expressions look static and plastic on nearly all characters. The variations possible with poser are actually pretty sparse. It's like if people only had 2 or 4 muscles around their mouths to smile with instead of the dozens of complex and subtle permutations and interactions we're used to seeing in faces all around us every day. True, there's only so much possible with a 3D mesh, but I still hope for new enhancements in every product I see. Guess I'm kind of predictable, I'm a sucker for a new character with good smile morphs, "power" eyebrows, or strong character (or realistic freckles).
