I know everybody has their "go to" figure, the one figure you really love to work with and appears in most of your renders. I'm curious how many people are strictly using V3, or some still hanging back with V2 and possibly even posette? Personally I prefer V2 over all of them, I just like her body shape and morphs. I've also discovered that gasp I really like Don and Judy. They're a little rough around the edges and need some tweaking (especially Judy!) but I just can't pass up all the content that comes with Poser 5. I still love posette and dork, but they're just too low poly these days. If anything I'd use V2P4 or M2P4 because their wardrobe is still great.

I love "Mike's sister", Stephanie (the original). Her face isn't as fashion-model-pouty as Victoria and I love the range of morphs to make her a little more muscular than Vic.

Roxanne2 Is definately my absolute fave.. although recently I've used V3 more.. I need to get back to Roxy soon :)

I use V2.5. That's Neatherworks hybrid Vic3 head on the Vic2 body. I get the nicer looking face/head without the macaroni jointed body. I also use the PTGirl mesh alot,rescaled and morphed to hell. Gives me a completely different looking Vicky. For horror scenes, I use the Milli Baby (scary little bugger). SWAMP

I still like V2. I find V3 very difficult to pose. Swamp's discription "macaroni" jointed body is just perfect to discribe how she "behaves" when I try to pose her. LOL!

I dont have V2 or V3 but I really like EJ (new Judy).

I would say David for male poses, V3 for female facial poses, don't have a favorite for female body poses. I also love playing with the lesser known - and greatly underestimated - characters such as Elle (who is superb with a really winning smile), also Dina V, Natalia, Nadya and Solondra (all fantastic as well). I agree with the comment about macaroni joints for V3 - I call them "ragdoll arms".

Mike 3 is my favourite, but sometimes I still use Mike 2 as well. Also love the Milbaby. Not use my Victoria or Stephanies very often.

hmm HER, Behemoth and the Sixus1 Goblin here... all my V's and M's are on a cd somewhere....

I am leaning more towards the toons lately, they are more expressive than V3 which I never really got into. Can't seem to get a decent expression out of her, so I still use V2 and the MilGirls a lot. But having been lucky enough to work with the beta of G.I.R.L. I can honestly say she is going to be my favourite for a while because she has the most amazing face and the best facial expressions. Slap a texture on her and she literally comes alive, I can't say that of V3 she's realistic, but not alive.

HER, Sara(1) and Staci here.

I'm very partial to Stephanie Petite. I use her in preference to V3 whenever I can. bonni

I use M2 and V2 mostly, I don't own M3 or V3 or the freaks (can't afford them). I do have D3 and S3 (mainly because the were on sale) but i am still gathering stuff to make them versital enought to use regularly.

Attached Link: Freak in Motion

Steph, David and Freak I like best (though I design most of my characters around M3 and V3 shrug )...at leats the textures mix and match well :) Rawn

All depends what clothes and body textures I want to use. Mainly use M2/3 and V2/3.

Main workhorses : V2/M2, PreT, AnimeDoll. Used quite often : Sara, Freak/She-Freak. Seldom used : Alexa, V3, Stephanie1, Koshini, Posette.

The P4 guy and Ichiro, in the main, with the ToonCat almost a signature model for me these days, but I'm also finding I'm using Corporal Splud (from 3D Universe) more and more.

David and Seth (Aeon). They have the best base figures of the males, and take morphs better than other male figures. My favorite after that is Ichiro. I've never gotten what I consider a good picture out of any female figure except Kiki. That's my problem though. Lack of personal experience.

I love Stephanie Petite. David is also great, I am not a big fan of the muscle bound male but Mike 3 does get an airing sometimes. Dina V is great, it is nice to use someone not at all Dazy occaisionally. But my biggest favorites are Koshini, Kiki and Krystal - they are such darlings. Finally, must say I love the anime doll coz I am very into Japanese animation and she has the look!

Vicky 3, Mayadoll, New Judy, Anan and Anan/Vicky 3.

V3 head on a V2 body, V3's body needs major work by Daz for its next generation of characters.

I'd have to say David is my favorite. He's the perfect pretty boy for all my images. V3 goes for my most often used female, not because she's my favorite, but because she's the best I could find.

Females: V3 & S3 (Prefer Steph,but must use V3 frequently because of wardrobe considerations :-) Male: M3 (like David better,but can't afford him + clothing etc. - wish I'd never bought M3)

M3 and David 99% of the time. V3 & PT when I want a female. Barely ever use any toons but Sara is warming up on me.

Almost always use Judy and sometimes Don, with loads of magnets and faceroom morphs

V3 and Alexa. I made a bunch of custom morphs for Alexa. Working on custom clothes for her now. One day I'l get off my butt and post em in free stuff.

Steph 3 and Mike 3......David is catching up though.......Steve

Hm, surprises me how many complaints there are here about V3. I really just use her and M3; I do like David more than M3 but he doesn't have enough clothes yet. I don't like Stephanie Petite at all, she's way too scrawny IMO. Muscle morphs are nice, but V3's are good enough for me. I like the Freak for humanoid monsters, and Anime Doll and Koshini for toons. SnowS

1. Hybrid V2 Head on V3 body 2. Maya Doll 3. V2 4. PT 5. Alexa :] Fish

Dunno about favourite, because V3 gets used a lot merely because it's the one with a lot of available stuff. I'd probably pick the original Stephanie because it's different enough to be distinctive. My least favourite, though... definitely M3 . I've used it maybe 3 or 4 times since I bought it.

Female: V3 Male: David I still like V2 and M2 but don't find myself using them much anymore. Since the release of David, M3 has been largely unused ... until I bought Quim2001's "Alberto" character for M3/P5, which is exceptionally good. It's unfortunate that DAZ has pretty much left David to brokers' whims. The figure will be far more enduring than any trendy T.O.O.N. thingy. ;-) Although I don't use them for renders I post publicly, I love using the DAZ Gremlin and D-Bot family for .bvh animation file tests. The Gremlin is one heck of a dancer! He can do ballet or breakdancing with equal grace, and he never stops grinning!

My favourite is Nigel (even though people insist on calling him "Freak" sometimes)...he's way more versatile than you'd think at first glance.

Maya Doll in Poser, Vickie Lo-Res in Bryce, Mike Lo-Res either place. I use Dina a lot as well..still installing characters..;)

I use V3 almost exclusively, and I will probably go to EJ as my "back up" figure just because she is so damn pretty. For toons? Right now it's all Staci, when the Girl shows up it will be GIRL then Staci.

AnimeDoll & V3 are my choices, Vicki lo res is pretty good too.

David is my favourite, but I also use M3 quite a bit. I've never really gotten into (no bad jokes please L) Steph Petite but I do like V3, partly because of all the accesories she's got. Nigel is also a great character, as Slinger said, far more versatile than he may appear at first. Oh and Dodger's AEON people of course.

So far it's Sara, Koshini, Kiki and Ichiro. When the mood strikes I'll use Maya Doll (and I'm saving my pennies for the Anime doll) or the PTgirl.

V3 and the Mill girls!

M3 is by far my most used figure. He looks good right out of the box, and has tons of support (the kind M2 only wished he had!)

For females, I adore Steph 3, she's so cute and "real".

For toons, AnimeDoll is tops! She fun, fast, easy to use, and comes in a great kit (with lots of freebies too)! Yea!

But if I need a scary creature, I'll go with a Sixus figure, the Freak, or M2.

Mike and Vicky 2 Don and Judy (I have M3, V3, SP and the freak, but they tend to drain my resources a bit, and they and their stuff take up too much drive space (I only have a 20 GB HD). But as soon as I get an external HD I may start using them again.

M2 and V2, Animedoll, Koshini and Ichiro I rotate between them and Alexa would be number 2. Number 3 are a slew of charecters from Sixus1! Krystal, Kiki, toon animals number 4

Oh, yeah, I forgot Alexa. I use her a lot too.

Natalia, Dina, M1,2,3, V1,2,3, S1, 3, Koshini, Alexa, Neftoon Gal, AnAn, Judy EJ, Judy+ Morphin Mindy, David, Ichiro, etc..... I tend to use them all, as it makes is so much easier to get differing looks and attitudes with the different meshes.

V3, David, Anime Doll and my hybrids - Anime Doll's head on V3 and David. (And I love using WyrmMaster's Sara Spriteling magnets on V3's for an anime body.) Neftoon Gal's head on V3 is also quite nice. I do really like Sal as well, but he needs more clothing.

I use the mils, all of them one way or another, except david, didn't bother with that one. I also use maya figures, Natalia, and all the wonderful figures done by everyone else. I like to have a choice. I'm even getting the hang of Don and Judy. Still V3 is my main choice.

Not really sure if I have a favorite at this time. Low income means slooooow gathering of programs and content. I have M2, V2, Sara, and M3 for the moment. M3 seems to work better than M2. Though what I have seen of David, looks really good. I am more likely to use which one(s) work best for a given scene. Still gotta get SP, V3, and David.
