I bought V4 out of curiosity, I don't think I've ever used the figure (lol). Is it really superior to V3?

@operaguy
You say you want to use V4 because of the amount of content available. V4's been around, what, 18 months? V3 for 3 years or so? Is there really already more content available for V4 than V3 (I say this with awe and surprise)? Because I've got about 3 gigs of V3 content, about 2/3 of which I haven't even gotten to use yet (lol). I'm asking because I'm about to delve into clothing content and I want to choose my figure carefully.

You say that UV mapping a 60K poly figure is not much work depending on the UV tools? I've used quite a few different methods and unwrapping that dense a figure has never been lickety-split, although I must admit I haven't used XSI, which I believe is your software of choice. There is a way you could give use a general overview of your work flow without giving too much away so fear of unwanted merchant appropriation could be lessened. I simply say this because the entire idea of a forum is sharing.

I viewed your gallery BTW and I like your stuff. Especially the worm under water, but I think you could have added to the atmosphere by adding caustics along with the DOF that is already there. I just wish you would post more of your artwork.

Is there not a LPM of V4 in Poser? Why only D|S?
