Carolly, yes, you can! DAZ recently re-did both the M3 and V3 bases so that they include the basic expression morphs. Like SP, they can smile, blink, etc., without the morph packs.

I'm sure they aren't planning to lose money on this deal, any more than Microsoft is losing money by giving away Internet Explorer. But the V3 and M3 bases they are giving away are very usable characters. You do need textures, clothes, and hair for them, but there are lots of freebies and non-DAZ sources for those.

I suspect users of high-end software might find these models of interest, too, now that they are free. They can make their own morphs and clothing, and rig them to work in their 3D programs.
