Now that we know that Michael 3 is well under way, but not yet completed, I thought this might be my last chance to give DAZ some suggestions for M3.

It would be great if M3 could scale well, in terms of height. I would love to make dwarves, hobbits, and giants.

I would also love it if M3 came with digigrade and hooved feet morphs, so that we can make all kinds of kewl creatures.

Along with the hooved feet, it would be great to have a bull's head and goat's head morphs, so we can make minataurs and beastmen.

Thanks for listening!

I would like to see normal shoulders. Mike 1 & 2 have those round things that make his clothing look bulky. Let's see some normal looking shoulders. Suit jackets should be flat on top and square off to a nice straight sleeve, not curve over a basketball sized shoulder. Melanie

One more thing, a wolf head morph! I don't know, maybe DAZ could release an animal head morph pak for M3. :) Jay

I just know my Poser Pose library can't handle another 35 body and head morphs injections...

I don't really care about another human figure. Most of the characters I work with are female, and even with males I prefer bishonen guys, so V3 is all that and a bag of chips for my work. Early on there was mention of Mike 3 being sort of a "monster du jour" thing, with lots of non-human morphs. That's what I'm interested in.

I want the joint bends not to warp so badly. There's so many problems with hip and shoulder joints on sharp posing with Mike 2. I want the installation program to give me an option for P5 multiple libraries (yeah, like I'll get that). I want a good set of abdominals and pecs that have a more variation in the way they look. I want an advance copy of the .obj so I can start making clothing now (sigh.... and I want it bad). I want a Daz Studio to be released the same day so I can have 2 Mike 3s in the same render. 2 V3s in P5 and the machine cries. I want his genitals designed so that they can be posed and morphed properly, without resorting to a penis prop. I also want them mapped to they don't look like a bad banana when you apply a texture. I want mapping on the arms so that I can do a tat around his biceps. I want a million dollars and a new Mazaratti. Oh yeah, and world peace.

An "Un-Mike" set of faces for M3, all the morph M1 and M2 has look like relatives of himself, whether is a child or a grown man, or an old man or even ethnic like characters look like Mike... :oD

I'm pretty happy with the v3 male but if I were to get M3, I'd like to see a different method of handling the injection poses. And if they MUST be in the pose library, maybe some kind of utility that would allow easy manipulation in and out so the library isn't so crowded. And no man-boobs please.

Can we have a set of morphs that turn M3 into woman... ...ducks... Ok. Sorry. Couldn't resist that. Actually for me just a smoother mesh would be fine. Cranking up muscle all the way results in a fairly angled figure. I think Daz is missing the boat however and its the community that's prviding the solution namely the hybrid/combined figures like the v2 body/v3 head figures. I think DAZ should consider that as an alternative to a huge memory hog like I think M3 will end up being. V2 with v3 head works great for me and I would have loved that as an alternative to a whole new body/clothes/MTs etc. Best of both worlds. An M2 with an advanced M3 head would probably satisfy a great many people without cranking the figure up to 80 megs. There is a point where the bang for the buck dwindles off and the figure becomes too detrimental to use effectivily. Also realize here folks that M3 will probably require a whole new wardrobe just like V3 did. The clothes for M2 by 3rd party people are just fantastic.

er, wasn't the v2 body with v3 head a DAZ creation that came with v3? I thought it was. Plus DAZ included a uvs that allowed us to remap v3 to take v2 textures. I thought both were pretty innovative and a nice thing to add in free of charge.

"I just know my Poser Pose library can't handle another 35 body and head morphs injections... " Mine can barely handle the first, and that's with all my MAT poses converted to camera poses.

I, for one, would like Michael 3 to put Michael on par with Victoria. I'm relatively new to Poser. My attention was captured by just how many possibilities there were for Victoria. I was extremely disappointed to realize that there were not just as many for Mike. IMHO, there are tons of absolutely stunning Vickys but only a few really good Mikes. Why exactly aren't there just as many Mikes as there are Vickys? Now, don't get me wrong... I love coming up with ideas for new ways to render Vicky, but really want to have just as many options and possibilities for new Mikes! I would enjoy making a few creatures, but am really interested in realism. I would like Michael 3 to get everyone as fascinated & interested in creating for Mike as they currently are for Vicky! Oh, yeah...it wouldn't hurt if he was easy to use, realistically life-like, not a hard-drive hog, and all the other things people have already said so well!

Just get rid of the breasts! The teaser image shows them still hanging out on the running man. 95% of the men out there don't have lumpy shoulders or over-developed pecs... even Schwartznegger looks normal in a business suit. Carolly

How about giving him the ability to have an erection ?

I second the hooved feet, and also the tripple jointed style of leg as seen in Lemturk's "second nature" series. If that's not in M3, then it would be an awesome add on pack!!

anyone know when is he due out?
