Pakled, I've never 'gone hungry'. I won't pretend that my sets are 100% accurate. I'm not the best texture artist out there, either. But I work hard and try to be respectful and try to create as close as I can reasonably get without completely remodelling the head. Xie is one of the best products I've ever made. JieJie is quickly shaping up to be a good selling product, as well. Do they look Asian? Not everyone agrees, because everyone's idea of what an Asian person looks like will vary. I've had people tell me Xie is beautiful but doesn't look Asian to them. That's fine. It's a hard balance to strike. And I agree with Randy, the expressions thing IS hard to allow for, especially since DAZ refuses to let people redistribute even basic expression morphs. Xie and JieJie both come with custom blink morphs to keep their eyelids from messing up when their eyes closed. That's the second-best solution. The best solution would have been for DAZ to allow me to redistribute the expression morphs, since literally anyone can get them from the V3 SaE cr2 file which is freely available for download on their site, even without purchasing her. As for being limited by the mesh... I always thought that was why DAZ didn't do very good Asian morphs on the Mil2 figures. It set up the stereotype people expect for Asian characters, in a lot of ways. I got to playing with M1 in my own morphing program and was able to morph a fully realized epicanthic fold with no problem. Now /that/ is sad, to me. These companies have all that really high end software, they've got lots of people working for them, with the software, and they can't do a little research.
