Hi guys & gals! I had to work on Vickies Face, as while it works some of the time, and from certain angles, it didn't look like what I wanted. Bear in mind that all the standard dials (Smile, mouth narrow, etc.) are there, so you can change it just the way you can change regular Vickie. I'm still working on the face, BTW, mostly chin, cheekbones and around the eyes I'm still unhappy with. I'm hoping to include some JCM morphs too, which I'm still expermenting with. I was really suprized how the standard Vickie Morph targets work, I assumed that turning any of them to 1 would put her face back to the standard Vickie face, as that is how a full face morph target would work, but they actually work correctly, I don't know why. The hair show is what ships with my suit for the Posette at BBay, it is highly modified, transmapped variation of the regular transmapped curls, similar to Allie's great (free) hair, only I started from the original, not her version. Supermodel Vickie will ship with the shoes, lingerie, texture map and some kind of hair, I think, hopefully better than as shown. As to the ethics, if Zygote would have announced something along this line I would have never proceded, but they didn't and I wanted to see it done. The sales of it can't but help sales of original, as that figure is going to be required to extract the file. Plans are to use a new version of Objaction mover to decode, all will be reveiled later, but the extractor will be free, Maz says. Anyway, does regular Vickie look bad above? I used exactly the same pose (less mouth settings) on her, the brunett and the Posette, along with Zygote's texture and bikini. Vickie can look very good, don't get me wrong, I've seen many excellent examples, and others have had more success with modifing her body with scaling and morphs that I ever had. As to clothing, all Vickie clothing should fit correctly, as she has most all centers in the same place, but bear in mind some will be rather loose unless you morph or scale it tighter. Incidently, the shoes for my Skirt and Sweater set will fit without modification. I plan on having free CR2s available (eventually) for all my Vickie items, and (perhaps) some of the Posette ones- the later will only work partially, because of the difference in the body parts.
