Quote - So what you are saying is it's ok to hedge and say any EF content versus ONLY EF content

Thats not a hedge, thats English. Your lack of understanding doesn't change that. Your assumptions do not make it "semantics". That sentance parses perfectly well and is perfectly clear.

Quote - Not to start a flame war or anything, but IMVHO, please place Vicky 4 and Sydney side by side, out of the box, no morphs and dare to compare.

 

I have. And I pick Sydney each time so far. V4 is an OK shape and a decent mesh, but Sydney is a much more expressive figure "out of the box". Additionally I much prefer her because she is actually a Poser figure, not a "semi poser compatible" figure. The built in lip synch, the face room... these are Poser features. V4 supports neither of them and really never will. Daz has only just now decided to support Poser 6.

Quote - Please tell me how you change the shape of her face, make the lips thinner or thicker, make the eyes larger or smaller, make her nose into anything other than what comes standard?

The face room. Its a feature that is more than two years old. Just because Daz isn't supporting it doesn't negate it's existence. No offense, but you mgiht want to take some time to familiarize yourself with all the abilities of the tool. If you are going to ignore the P7 features that Daz isn't supporting then use Daz | Studio, save yourself some money.

Poser 7 has already paid for itself. The render system is much improved, the library interface is much more usable now and the stability is improved. I don't buy the package for the included figure. Then again if I was not using the rest of the features and only using what Daz decided to support then the value proposition would be different.
