Here's my 2 cents on M3 so far: 1) Morphs Injection poses aren't as scary as I thought, and ultimately they will be a time saver for Poser users. M3 has better morphs, ethic morphs, more teeth morphs, animal/fantasy morphs, and precision morphs for the face, like 3 philtrum morphs! That makes me a happy camper. 2) Mesh His shape is different, more multi-ethnic and toned then the default M2. Maybe I'll grow on me. I can't say how good M3 poses just yet, but I expect he will do well more polygons in the joint areas. 3) Mats You can tell DAZ has taken many of the good ideas Poser users have come up with over the years and incorporated these ideas into the latest version of Mike. I really like the tonal mats. To me, the base texture map is too cool and too red, but I just click the golden "tone 2", and Wa La, M3 is not so icky looking. And the Injection Morph idea I believe was invented by users here at 'rosity too. So things you used to buy as add-ons for your Poser figure now come with product which is a money saver when you think of it. 3) The Hi-res Texture Map It's 3000 x 4000 which is not as hi res as I thought, and there many be some errors in the bump map. But I like how the new texture map allows for more exact map of a 3 dimensional object (it reminds me of the flattened orange peel version of global maps instead of the square ones). But because of this new UV map, it makes the job of texture mapping so much harder because it's so much more precise. The head map's eyebrow area is a nightmare! Anyhoo, M3 has a more realistic male texture than M2's half real, half art texture. It's almost too real! Looking at his body texture map gives me the heebee jeebee because it looks like M3 was skinned like an animal and flatten out into a rug. Eeeooow. ;p 4) Gender Mesh Poor M3, not only is he based on a girl's mesh, but he's gelded. There is a song I want to dedicate to M3, it's called "Detachable Penis." But seriously, I didn't like it at first, but I'm getting used to it. I used to get hip morph problems when turned gender on and off on M2. With this new approach, that will never happen. And it makes M3 easier to cloth. I imagine a parent could easily censor their daughter's Poser use too by pulling a Loraine Bobbit on M3's Gen.obj. LOL. ;p 5) Blank figure, and M3 to M2 figure Don't know what the blank is for, but I really like having M3's mesh adapted to M2's shape. I'm not ready to say good-bye to M2. 6) Product Support DAZ has done a great job making add on products available for M3. Overall, I consider it a good value for your money, -- a must have for Poser Users. MAC users should be aware they many have problems like I'm having. I hope they get fixed soon. bB
