I can appreciate the reaction you guys have, no problem with what you're saying.

But these models are clearly not useless, although Alyson is really just no comparison to the free Antonia that odf is working on, for example.

But I just want to say three things.

First - Alyson has the potential to be shaped quite differently with a bit of custom morphing. I forget who, but one poster already showed proper free-hanging breasts on her. Actually her breast shape is quite correct for somebody wearing a bra. I suppose there should have been a morph to select "hanging free" versus "sports bra", but this is easily remedied. For the artist interested in clothed people (unusual I know) her body is no impediment, really. Have a look here:

Second - while I appreciate that a figure creates strong reactions, perhaps being a little less hard on the guy who made it is in order. I don't know him, but I know he's a hard-working SM employee (not a contractor) and he's devastated by this community's vituperation. Really, if he was standing before you, would you really find it necessary to bring him down? Yesterday, somebody called me a genius dork, which is fine because it's actually sort of a compliment and I have a pretty thick skin.

But Alyson's createor was given a ridiculous deadline. The new joint system was not squared away soon enough, so he had to crank out the rig in like zero time. Compared to od'fs 4-year effort on Antonia, the difference in quality is actually understandable. Plus, odf had the benefit of months of feedback from hundreds of us telling him the ear is wrong, the navel is wrong, the wrist looks stupid. The guy making Alyson had to work in secret. Very few of us do an awesome job solo. Collaboration always produces a better outcome.

Finally, who cares? Poser 8 is worth the upgrade price even if it came without any new content. And there's a lot of silly nearly useless content in Poser 8, like the gigantic crane. Why is that a core piece of equipment that should be in everybody's content library, LOL? Let's make fun of that decision and give this guy a break.

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)
