I like to have a lot of different models so that I can have several figures in a scene without looking like they all come from the the deepest, darkest Appalachian mountain family. (lol) So I got V4 to add to my collection. I don't know about those specific morphs, as I bought the basics, V4++, and the muscle morphs but have been really disappointed with her so far. Then I picked up A4 and found that she was a V4 morph set. Bleh!!!!
So, I decided not to buy anything else for her/them. If i can't make or transfer it for them, they don't get it. Managed to bring over a few pieces of clothing for the two of them without more than the usual pain and agony, so I thought, cool--not a total waste of a boatload of money.
Then I tried to build a texture for her. Holy bat shiza! It is, hands down THE WORST template setup I have EVER seen. A separate map to crosswalk between limbs, torso, and head with EVERY SINGLE PIECE set at a different ratio. Even the pieces on the same template. So the torso and ears are different sizes, and NEITHER ONE matches the head template. Or the limbs template. So I sat down to at least color code the seams to make matching things a tiny bit easier. MISTAKE! They cut her apart worse than Frankie's monster. Nothing lines up, the seams even seem to spiral around the limbs. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
I give up. Miki may not be as 'classically' beautiful as Vic, but at least she isn't a nightmare to work with.
