I'm seeing here - and also at DAZ - a fair bit of misunderstanding and frustration from folk who haven't yet absorbed the subtleties and new ways of doing things. Frankly, after spending a weekend with V4, a lot of it is misplaced and even misleading. Its a new tech, its a new figure, and its a learning curve folks. :)

 V4 handles certain morphs and transformations in an amazing new way. Muscularity is one of them: rather than hundred of individual tweaks, you utilise two basic full body morphs. More morphs are coming: I've seen shots of an amazing aliens/monsters/animal heads pack, I'm treading water waiting for the International morphs, and phonemes/Mimic tie-ins are surely on their way. There may well be ways of accessing the individual muscle morphs, or morph pack add ons. We're all experimenting like crazy, and waitng for DAZ to return from their weekend.

Lets give DAZ a chance to launch the basics before making rash statements: the basic V4 was only released on Friday.

Me, I bought the Pro Pack V4 immediately, and both my partner and I think she is an amazing, versatile and much improved figure. Better Emotions, transmorphs, the fixed arms and shoulders, the versatility, the crosstalk magnetised clothing conforms, the low/high rez capability that will be unleashed with DS 1.5... just incredible. We're still learning the power of the transmorphs, unlocking more of  the hidden gems (check the morph range in the chest for some full body capabilities), the correct way to work clothes etc.

But yes, there is still much stuff to come that we all have to see before making a final assessment. Like decent clothes. :)

I'm sure there will be a stream of new products, freebies, tuts and fixes over the next few weeks.I'm in love already, but there is certainly some wisdom in waiting till the full morph and clothing range is released (either for sale or as freebies), the tuts and fix-its are up and the PAs have released the necessary updates, hair fixes etc. And given us product. Lots of product.  :)

Having said all that, I have to add that the price is absolutely amazing!

Cheers
