Apollo's default shape and face is an amalgam of all his morphs. It is the middle between fat and emaciated. This allows all the morphs to work so well together. It is a starting point. I did it to address the comments that too many figures are too specific and you can't get rid of their default look. Apollo doesn't have any more bulk morphs than skinny. Anything that makes a feature bigger will also make it smaller and vice versa. This is a pic with only his default morphs, not cole, morpheus, or anything else. Regarding knees, elbows, etc. People have to choose between cut joints that spin into jagged pinwheels or smoother joints than bend smoother. Just the way it works. When you rotate cuts and creases you get arched cuts and creases. Polygons skin doesn't shift or smooth over bones. I wish threads wouldn't always end with "Why I don't like Apollo". Most customer don't read the forums but the merchants do. I wish I could express the impact it has. But if that is the way it is so be it. I believe people are honest in their feelings. He's as good as I could make him. It is hard enough to make a "non-Daz" figure catch on. Merchants don't seem interested and his fans are too few. Sadly I must admit I Apollo will be my one and only independant human figure. In fairness, Apollo did offer more than any other one figure ever made. He remains the most versatile/flexible figure out of the box, both child to adult. Best UV mapped and most innovative addressing desires of so many posts over the years. Sadly it isn't enough. Thing I wasn't prepared for is that he actually seems to offend the very people I made him for. Or I do. Whatever. But that is just how business works sometimes. Just supply and demand and all that stuff. lol Since the mil people are perfered, there really isn't need for others. In the end I am sure Apollo's features will appear on them at some point by either maker or broker anyway. I already know any copyright problem would be shot down and snuffed instantly in the forums and I'd be left to handle it alone. At least it can be said he was good enough to make daz lower their prices and basically giving away their male line to snuff him. Good strategy. Didn't see that coming. Either way I'll still happily support him. hehe. They warez people will be glad for that. :)
