Yhanks MUCH, Ern! Daz REALLY wanted to dumb things down for P4, and I protested quite a bit about that. They actually decided NOT to buy him outright originally because of that, but after he was available for a while, and they saw no issues with him at all, they changed thier mind. I was especially proud of how well the wings now look, after just fiddleing with the material settings a little. I also tried to logically make the folders in the body parts to make creating the new character looks easier. (With that many morphs, I think you NEED that kind of organization.) It really sped up his developement time too, once it was organized for MY use as well! LOL!! Now that I've learned a little more, I wish I knew how to Geometry swap.. I would have replaced his original eyes with newly modeled ones brokn into different parts, like Neftoon Gal has. Neftis really does a great job at eyes and hair. I had created more material zones, but never really looked into the value of them until recently. I should have just broken more material zones out on the body, for quoock texture mapped clothes. I know some people said they were going to model some clothes for him/her once the Pixie was released, but I haven't seen anything come out at all yet. I still have some plans for him, I've still got the original alternate texure done, and some props.. I'm guessing with current projects in the works, that I'll get something else out for him in about 6 weeks.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
