Will Vittorio 4.2 be a set of injections for V 4.2 or a separate OBJ file encoded to V 4.2? If it is a separate injection, will it be usable with the morphia OBJ (this would be particularly favorable)? Will Vittorio 4.2 take the texture files for V 4.2 male? If you will be offering a new OBJ, will it accept the Basic Moprhs, Morphs++, and Muscle Morphs of V 4.2, like Morphia does? Will there be, among other morphs, a Vittorio morph like the Male morph in V 4.2 (so that the other morphs can be used for a greater variety in female characters)?

The V 4.2 model still has the same defects for scaling as Aiko and Hiro. That is, scaling in the chest, collars, and or shoulders distorts the mesh (badly in some cases). Unfortunately, only a lengthen leg morph is offered, when lengthen arms, torso and neck are also needed (and probably widen and deepen chest). At least there is a separate morph to scale the hands as with Aiko/Hiro to avoid the unrepaired defect in scaling David 3’s hands. As others have noted, there is no morph yet to fix the primate toes of the V 4.2 figure, and as with previous figures, scaling the toes separately breaks the foot and shin. If there is time in your busy development schedule, might you consider morphs to cover these deficiencies?

 

The present set of morphs (including those in morphia, which is compatible with the Basic 4.2, Morphs++ 4.2 and Muscle Morphs 4.2) do a great job for creating a wide variety of appearances for women. But, the male morphs leave a lot to be desired. One almost has to pose the figure and then morph it because posing easily distorts the posed figure. I guess one might say the morphs are brittle when altering a female figure to a male form and then posing it. Some things are missing. The breasts do not convincingly morph to look male. It is hard to thicken the neck, or simulate an adam’s apple (trachea). The definition morph is just not as good as the David 3 definition morph. There are no real tendon morphs (as available for Michael 3’s wrists and hands).

 

I know that one product will not provide everything that we might want. Perhaps Ghost of MacBeth will also make some morphs for us to use and enjoy. Regardless, I am looking forward to Vittorio 4.2, but don’t rush.

PS – if it will help, I will pay for a copy of Vittorio 4.2 for PhilC to make sure that his tools and utilities perfectly support this enhancement. LMK
