Quote - Aeikema, amazingly high detailed textures like this are a major advancement for Poser and DS. No one has every attempted this kind of "pro quality" before, and if you aren't interested in it, then I think you need a break from the poserverse for a while.
I hardly ever use a V character at all, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see advancements like this take place.
Sorry this is complete bullshit. SteffyZ was using, and still is using high end cameras. Mec3D was doing this a while ago with her textures. I have 3 photo reference CDs of high quality skin texture photos for 3D use. Wooo Daz used High Res photos and THEN down sampled, yeah nice, most good poser texture artists do that.
there is NOTHING new about what Daz is doing with the 'Elite' line. 3D scans were used oh way back in .....V3 and M3 unimesh design.
Daz's new Human Data Acquisition Center (H.D.A.C.) center is just a 15mega pixel camera and a full body 3d scanner. Did it cost 50k+? yeah probably.
The stuff the Daz marketting team has come up with on the elite tech info site is just...well infururating when others in this community have done better, long ago and the Daz textures are pretty crappy (love the tan lines and texture stretchin in promo pictures!).
for $99.00 you get 3 textures, 3 morphs a bunch of poses and a shader, but you DON'T get the base figure, the morph++ or any clothing or hair etc, for $99.00 you can get the Pro bundle and get so much more .....and it looks like better quality......if you like V4 and don't think she is garbage to begin with.
Great marketting campain though really funny to watch.
