V4 is eight heads tall which is WAY above average height of a caucasian woman.
So claiming that these three Elite morphs are anywhere close to realistic bodyshapes is ridiculous.
Even if they started out as actual bodyscans they have been so thoroughly "processed" and "reworked" and "adapted" to V4's unrealistic default proportions that they are now about as "realistic" as any of the gazillion V3 "dial spun" bodyshapes you find in the marketpace already.
Saggy boobs and a fat ass don't make "realism".
Believable proportions and accurate details do.
And last time I checked real woman had kneecaps and shoulderblades and an actual skeleton and muscles under their skin.
Sorry folks, you can't polish a turd.
If you want to turn Barbie into a real person, you have to do a wee bit more than a quicky morph and slap some so called "hi-rez" textures on her.
At least if you really want to sell her to a "professional" audience and not just make a quick buck by impressing a few naive D|S users with a mouthy advertising campaign.
But it's good to see that a lot of people in the Poserverse still haven't drunk the KoolAid.
