I'm not a texture maker, so I might be going about this the wrong way. But I tend to think that extreme distortions are worse than some extra seams, if only those seams line up nicely.

I can stitch the genital area back onto the torso if that's what people think is best. There may be some slight issues, but I can probably deal with those. I can also re-connect the parts of the body, but then the breasts will have heavy distortion. Actually. I might just decide not to do that, even if people protest loudly, because most likely I will use programs like ZBrush for texturing, which are happily oblivious of seam issues. As I said, while I'm happy for any input and will try to take people's wishes into account, in the end I'm going to do what suits me best, but I'll do my very best to give people all the freedom to change things if they want.

Same with the face. I'll probably put the lips back with the rest of the face. There's only a slight overlap problem there in the inside corners, which I'll have to fix by hand in Wings. But I have to cut the face somewhere to avoid a heavily distorted nose. If you don't like the seams where they are now, suggest a better solution. I could, for example, cut off the entire nose and make it a separate chart. I'll do my best to put seams where they will do the least damage, but in certain regions, having no seams at all is just not an option.

Finally, about the on-topic/off-topic issue: I am aware that this forum is not for advertising products, or free stuff items, which is why I will not discuss any details concerning a possible release. When the time comes, I will post about those things in the Free Stuff Forum, or whatever else is the appropriate place. To me, the fact that I will eventually share the results of my work is secondary, anyway. This thread has been an excellent way of exchanging opinions and experiences about figure creation in Poser. I'd love to continue doing this in this forum, but if the moderators don't agree, I'll accept that.
