Found this old Dork-toon on my drive... you could really get a lot out of the old Poser 4 figures even without morph sets.

If the Poser 4 had just had the JPs tweeked like the injection by Yamoto, the edges smoothed as by Stahlratte, the resolution spiked a little like by Traveler and joint-fix JCM added... there was even a JCM set that did bicept and quad contraction etc. The figures were easy to scale, easy to morph and easy to distribute... the topology was good. The figures weren't flawed... they just needed polishing. I have seen amazing portrait work done with Posette. Object smoothing took care of the resolution issues... pitklad dealt with the eye surfaces, lacrimals and teeth Hellborn created female genitals. David did the remaping.  The figures could have been developed into powerhouse if the community hadn't jumped on the DAZ bandwagon. The community was at a crossroads when Vicky came out... if they had gone with Traveler's version of Eve instead this would in many ways be a more vital and creative community but I guess their would have been a lot less money flying around.
