Quote - They are made by rightly respected artists, who create terrific textures, but their morphs are virtually identical.   Whatever the faults of the "Amazonian" V3, she possesses vastly more facial flexibility than V4 does;  so do the G2 characters (both sexes) and the Mikis.

 

Well said. However, I don't think the problem lies entirely with the V4 itself. If people actually spent enough time working those dials or creating new morphs within another app, we really could see some good & original V4 characters. I would work with V4 more myself if it wasn't for the fact that I'm probably one of the few who prefers V3, I just find the workflow better with her morphs. Most of the time when I see a new V4 in the marketplace I think, yeah, great texture, but you sure as hell can tell that's V4 with just a few morphs. And is it just me or is the base V4 just horrible? Now here's the thing, she can be changed to look good, I just think not enough people do it. Also, check out the V4 characters for sale here. I bet you could have fifty of them in front of you now & you could hardly tell the bodies apart on nearly all of them. Same shape breasts, torso, hip, legs etc. If it wasn't for the textures (which are generally really good) you couldn't tell them apart. When I used to purchase characters from here I would generally only buy them for the textures, because I sure as hell ain't going to spend money for a character with only a few dial turns that I could do myself in five minutes.
Apologies if this is coming out as a rant, I don't intend it to be. Just stating my opinion.
