Just curious, since I wasn't sure how the discounts, etc. would apply. Trying to budget. And wanted input on whether V3 or S2 was the best place to start. Thanks!

Bout $70.37 right now with the summer sale going on.

Here is a break down.

$9.08 Vicki 3 Standard Textures($12.97 - 30% Pclub discount)

• $5.00 Monthly Voucher

$70.37 Vicki 3 with no clothing, ready for temple.

You could get away with no Vivki3 texture, there are freebies out there til later on shrug

ya need the head, and body addon packs to make Vicki3 useful can't get by without them.

If you do not have Vicki 2 yet the Vicki 2 CD Collection is on sale for $45 no club to join and that comes with textures, hair, clothing and model.

It's not $29.95 monthly, sorry. This is only for to join and for the first month. At a first glance, joining the club is not really advantageous if you only buy V3 with head and body morph pack. But before you take this decision, look at what you can get for less than $2 a piece. As for textures: try at least Vali's free ones in the freestuff here at R. Best to start with is undoubtably V3: most add ons, and most morphs. I just joined, and that monthly voucher hasn't shown up yet. But it will.

I've actually bought a number of V3 characters (that is a long story, involving a contract artist) and stuff ... So, about seventy dollars for V3. Not bad. As for the: " If you do not have Vicki 2 yet the Vicki 2 CD Collection is on sale for $45 no club to join and that comes with textures, hair, clothing and model." Does that include the V2 model when you say model, with the morphs and such? What are the differences between V2 and V3 that I need to keep in mind? Right now I'm inclined to get V3 as most of the characters, clothes, props, etc. I have for a Vicky are V3 based. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. (If you've seen my characters, etc., you'll note that they are all pretty much fully clothed, so a naked vicky in a temple is probably not in my plans )

I slipped and bought some other stuff on my visit to DAZ, and had to keep up with my sixaholic fixes, but two more weeks I'll have more spare cash. BTW, is Steph better than V3 for morphs and such? I'm curious what people think. I've been playing with the lo-res Steph and the lo-res Vicki and that has been interesting, but I think I'm ready for longer render times.

I join the PClub and for my $29 i got about $250 worth of modles, it was amazing when i went to the download page to ceck the stuff i had purcashed with my membership thepage took 45 seconds to load because of all the stuff they gave me, It is definitaly worth the money plus when i joined(last week) they were giveing away a free plat item, then yesterday i go back and they have yet another one free, can't beat it, join now before the sale is over you won't be dissapointed, you really do want to get the head and body morph packs they let you do just about anything with the char, and as for the textures there are some great high quality tex sets right here on renderosity for free Ambrose
