Subject: Victoria 4.2 - oh, those thighs.


Audierne ( ) posted Tue, 08 April 2008 at 4:23 PM · edited Fri, 15 November 2024 at 12:50 PM

Having returned from my efforts as a cartoonist for a while I have been using V4.2.  Setting up the front shot turned out to be rather more difficult than I expected because unless the angle is chosen carefully one thigh looks fatter than the other. 

Evidently this is because of how the muscles have been modelled, but I find the effect disturbing and noticed that my free Victoria 3 does not exhibit the same problem.  I now wish I had bought a complete V3 pack instead of the V4.2 pack.

I have tried the various morphs (I have base and ++ morphs) but they do no get over the problem. 

Any suggestions as to how this can be overcome?

Regards
Peter

PS I would post this on the DAZ site as well if I could work out where to put it.

The Morphia package from Daz seem to solve the problem for me.

Many thanks for your help.  Morphia does indeed look interesting, although it seems that if clothes are wanted then the Morphia Magnets are also needed. 

I'll consider buying, but quite frankly I am rather fed up with the what I see as DAZ's policy of selling something that becomes a bottomless pit of more and more spending to get it to do what one expected it to do in the first place - as a 'starving artists' who bought Victoria as a substitue for live models I am reluctant to spend more money on the thing.  

It's probably back to sketching and paint-brushes for me.  I wonder if there is a market for second-hand Victoria 4.2 pro packs, PC version.

I understand and can relate.

Don't give up on DAZ just because of one model.

There are more free DAZ models you can try.

Go to http://www.download.com and type "DAZ" as your search.
Then you will find "Poser DAZStudio 3D Models Pack 1".
It has the following basic models (no morphs): Victoria 3, Micheal 3, Aiko 3, Hiro 3.

(I think Hiro 3 includes all his addon morphs as standard).

I've been using Aiko 3. I'm not into realism in my rendered image so I'm quite happy with Aiko's anime style. I recently purchased Aiko's addon morphs package.

I do agree that buying the morphs as a separate package from the base model feels like your entering into a bottomless pit. It's a bit like the marketing strategy behind Pokemon Cards - you gotta collect the all.
