From everything's that been said so far: 1. DAZ created a unimesh; not yet Victoria, not yet Micheal (let's call the unimesh something androgynous, like "Pat"), but parent to them both. DAZ was even nice enough to post a sample of the mesh. 2. From the unimesh, they molded Victoria 3. 3. From the unimesh, they then molded Micheal 3. 4. It has been mentioned that the meshes for V3 and M3 are very similar, making texture maps easier to translate between the two. 5. Despite the numerous, simple explanations, some people seem unable to understand that, because they both started from Pat, they will be very similar, and instead fantasize that V3 was molded into M3.>> If this is the case, which I doubt, they should have released both models at the same time. They should have also had a beta program testing both figures so they could add splines/nurbs rows for whatever method they use in the necessary places and make sure the corrected shape would work in both the female and male shape. I'm totally against this unimesh philosophy. This is just good from a business point of view. It makes for crappy, prone to be plagged by errors models. Tell a CGI director of a movie you want to use a unimesh for a series of creatures you need to create for a film and see what they tell you about this "great idea."
