Quote - My gripe is all the people who gripe about how ugly the default Poser people are when they come out of the box! I think the DAZ people are just as ugly til you add morphs and good textures to them!
Nah, I strongly disagree with that. Posette was, IMO the last good native Poser female. That's excluding Sydney, because I don't have P7 so I can't comment on that one.
What really let the P5 people down was the lack of morphs. Maybe Judy can look good (in fact, both Quarker and 3Dream proved it) but it's impossible to make Judy look human without buying third party add ons. Sure, you have to buy morphs for the DAZ people but at least they're directly available from DAZ. Remember, the Gen 1 and 2 figures had the morphs built in, also. Oh yeah, Judy also bends about as good as glass.
As for the P6 creature, I mean, woman... Well, she doesn't have arms for a start. She has flippers. I honestly doubt the modeller even referenced any anatomy books when that hideous thing was being built. No amount of morphs can allow for that, since clothes are built for the default shape. Scaling Jessi's arms makes clothes go bananas unless she happens to be wearing nowt but a bikini. Not to mention that great big balloon head she has. To be honest, she reminds me of a very bad copy of the original Stephanie, but remade when the modeller was on some serious drugs.
On the other hand, the P5 and P6 males are pretty good by comparison.
DAZ's models may not all be ravishing beauties out of the box but they are more or less realistically proportioned. Apart from V4's ridiculously oversized eyes and that stupid ribcage cut on the default shape.
