I don't look for pretty or ugly or even regular or average in a figure... what I want is "plausible"... a figure you could remotely /imagine/ as representing a real world person... seems that Poser 8 fails in that but I have given up on Poser in regards to figures so it doesn't really matter.

Strange though... I have seen incredibly plausible figures created by individual hobiests (e.g. Antonia by odf) so I am ver puzzled that such work seems to be beyond the ability of a professional development team...

Honestly, you can take ANY image set from Peter Levius and make a figure based on it but these P6/P7/P8 seem produced completely without reference to a human model or photo reference...

I don't get it... at least ten or twenty percent of art students can sculpt or draw plausible human figures, probably ten or fifteen percent of physicians/surgeons untrained in art  in my experience can too. I would imagine half of talented draftspersons would be able to also. Strange.

Still, I was hoping for a P4/P5 quality figure in P8 but ultimatly it doesn't matter. I guess the field is sceded to DAZ.
