So mostly I have gone back to Mil-3 figures.

...hehehe, EVERYTHING'S buggy in Poser 7 ;o). I've gone back to Poser 6 (yup, really). I can set something up in Poser 7 and can't get it to finish a render but I'll open it in Poser 6 and aftre the wrong version number message, it chugs right through the render. For those who are wondering...yes, I applied all my Poser 7 updates and I trashed the preferences file. No go. I'll be waiting for the next service release (if there is one).

As for the mil 4 figures, I've yet to see anything that looks better (or even as good for that matter) than my gen 3 figures. I'm in the process of changing all my clothes for Aiko 4 to Aiko 3 and everything else I like from any other figure ;o). I got licenses for Aiko 3 and Apollo Max last trip. Now it's time for Kali (of Kali and Kelm). Not sure how that will go over, but if there's a license, I'll have to get it...LOL.

Now that I think of it, whenever I start a scene, I always start with a gen 3 figure, Apollo or Kali or Kelm now. Everything else just isn't getting any love these days...hehe.

Same here...I just can not warm up to the Gen 4 figures. Not only are they terrible memory hogs, but they just look look so off putting to me...all the A4/V4 characters I've seen basically look alike (enough with the racoon eyed Lolitas already). V4 looks way too cartoonish in her face (complete with 1000 yard stare) to look very realistic, and A4 doesn't look cartoonish/anime enough to really justify calling her "Aiko" (just looks like V4 to me). Their bodies are too stylised and plastic looking.  The Gen4s do have a bit better bending and expressions to be sure, but I sorta feel like the Gen4s were a step back in many ways then the Gen3s.
