One head and many lip colors. Smaller size files for the content creator for the dowloads for their customers=more options. I think this is what Daz had in mind when they introduced this option (which I believe was Anton's idea to begin with).

There's really nothing more to it than that. And it's POSER. At the time maybe a lot more professional people didn't really use the program. It was mainly a hobby for most folks. However, the professional people I would think know how to make their Poser people look better from the get-go. Look thru the galleries. You can tell one from the other ;) For instance, I'll probably never achieve the shader knowledge that bb has, or the artistic creativity of others. And people that don't like the standard figure/props/whatever usually make their own anyway. For those of us that can't, Poser and the figures made for it, meets mosts needs. The individual material zones - when they came out - were actually a good thing and made the figures that much more versitile.

Just my thoughts. I'm sure no one elses ;o)
