The thing that gets me is that the eyes now have three "transparent" material zones, Cornea, Tear and Eye surface.

I could complain forever (as seems to be our want), but seriously V4 is a vast improvement.  My crits are small and they will be either dealt with in time or forgotten by most.

Still, to reiterate, her are my two biggest complaints:

Seven individual tongue parts, yet V4 cannot speak one word!!  No Phenomes!?  Just amateur!  For crying out loud, the Millenium Dog LE has phenomes and is Mimic compatable!!!

(Who gives a crap if the tongue has so many parts?  How many open mouthed pictures do you expect to see, was this made fro freaking dentists!?)

And both eyes being on the same material Zone is the biggest pain the @ss I have ever seen!  This is something I hated about the Poser stock figs.  If I want to change the left eye to some kind of blind metal laser thing, I literally have to open up the texture and make a new one in photoshop, and heaven forbid if I want it to have different mats etting from the other eye (ie, one glossy, one not.)  I see their reasoning (less zones to deal with) but I still think that it is exceptionally limiting and sad.  (not that I'm beyond making my own freaking eye, but what about those less technically inclined or with less software?)

Still, the improvements far outweight the detriments.

(BTW, TrekkieGrrl, you completely rock!  Lots of reasons, but I thought I'd mention it.)
