I definitely vote for V3 mapping. The V4 map works OK for straight-up skin (I guess). But the bizarre transformation in the thighs and upper arms is a nightmare for good bump maps or any sort of second-skin application. The # of pixels dedicated to the upper thigh is really small compared to the lower thigh. This means you have to squeeze your pattern into a tiny space for that part. It makes bump maps have a tremendous variation of density and orientation between upper and lower thigh.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
