Arrrggghhh!!! Don't you just hate it when you write a nice long explanation about something and when you hit Post, it goes nowhere?! Shoot, now I have to try to remember what I wrote.

Ironbear, I worded it wrong before. What I meant was that the Millennium figures were scanned from live human models, while Posette/Dork, etc. were not, which is why the Millennium figures are so much more realistic, in fact the head was scanned from Dan Farr's own face. What I meant by modeled by hand was that they were created in a modeling program, not scanned from live human models. There had been a photo of the male model who posed for the body of Michael, over at DAZ at one time, when there was a history of how Michael was made. I did already know that Zygote made the original Posette and Dork. I believe RDNA had some hand in Judy/Don, etc., which is probably why they support it so heavily.

I've been using Poser since the mid to late 1990's, coming in on Poser 2, so I've seen the leaps and bounds of improvements to the figures since then. The P2 figures didn't even have lifelike faces at all. You had to paint faces on them in a paint program to make them look like anything. Poser 3 was a major improvement! Michael and Victoria were started at Zygote, then continued when DAZ spun off from there.

I hope I got in all I had tried to say before my post vanished into cybervoid. LOL
