Some words on ApolloMaximus:

 ApolloMaximus is a nice male base, and has great potential to become truly the best Poser male base figure with his age morph capacity.  This great age variety morph feature will truly stand out when we see him change ages, growing from a toddler to a weatherd old man in a single animation sequence.  

However, I found that AM did not work well with Poser's Walk Designer, which in the Poser animation realm is a big plus feature in that it greatly shortens the time spent in designing walk animations.   (Correct me if AM has updates already to make him compatible with WalkDesigner.)

For artwork render purpose, I'd suggest that the creator or other capable 3rd party merchants build extra morph channels that can fine-tune his face.   AM looks fine, but the default figure's face has a chubby "under-chin" (the area between chin and neck, is there a word for it?) that's hard to modify.  That, plus his jaws, make most of AM's faces morphed by different artists look similar and easily recognizable as from the AM base.   With a few exceptions, while most M3 faces look feminine, most AM faces look very macho (Arnold or Sylvester type).  

Anyhow, I look forward to the updates and/or plug-ins that expand AM's face morph targets.  Again, AM has the greatest potential to become the best overall Poser male base figure.
