C'mon man, you should know I would never do that., since I've said I always use the geometries OBJ in Lightwave for that.
And remember, I was the one who discovered Antonia Head Bob Syndrome, due to my learned nitpickiness when t comes to morphs. ;-)I mean, sliding morph dials for things such as expressions or the like,within Poser and then creating a full body morph through the menu. Which as you know will then take every MT that has a value other than zero and combine it into one FBM slider, including any you didn't want.
Oops, sorry! I think I had a case of the dumbs there.
I am a strong believer in the principle of least surprise. Setting any morphs to non-zero values by default clearly violates that.
And that's exactly the problem with including options that most people won't use. You want to turn them off by default, obviously. But when turning them off by default creates problems, you have effectively shot yourself in the foot.
So if I had to decide again, I'd throw both the handles and that extra geometry out of the window. But removing the brows would create another big problem, since it would break all the existing face morphs. So they'll stay, and if they do, I see no good reason why the toecaps shouldn't.
With the handles, I'm not so sure. That "drop to floor" problem might very well be the final straw for me.
SaintFox: Antonia's licensing will be - and in fact is already - such that people can do with her whatever they want and redistribute that freely. I'm not sure if that's compatible with the texture resources you're using, so we might have to talk about separate licensing at some point. But the base figure with all its built-in morphs will definitely go under those conditions.
