yes or no?
just wondering about if it would be worth doing something for her.
thanks

 V3 all the time. It's easier on my system. V4 is a resource hog. Also I have more stuff for her than V4.

I still use V3 on occasions. 

When I use a human figure, I still tend to use V3 ;o).

Laurie

Yes V3 works well

Still love V3, and usually load her first.

Still using her, by all means, continue..

I still use her, but I own a boat load of things for her, so it would have to be pretty special for me to buy it. 

Nope.  I got into poser after V4 was introduced so I never used V3.  I do have A3 and want to play with her a little when I can get the chance.

And you already KNOW which figure I use almost exclusively!  Long LIVE Posette!
dph

  I have not rendered V1, 2, or 3 in some years. Let alone Posette or her friend the Dork -or any of the Poser 2 people....

Still use her but mainly as secondary character as she uses less resources, and as other say they have boatload of items for her so you need something real special for it to be interesting.

 I still use V3 a lot.  A touch more than V4

I like V3, but when I use her body morphs, her clothes don't  support the morphs. 

Or Stephanie Petite either.

Many clothes for V4 support the morphs ++.

V3 exclusively. V4 is a resource hog on my system. Plus she's got those funny arms.

Shhhhhh, don't mention the arms.  V4 is very sensitive about that.

I haven't used V3 in a long time. :)

Isn't there something in the marketplace to help with that?

A3 is my first choice.

whuff. i just finished cleaning my version 3 runtime.  ugh.  i definitely want to use those figures and i definitely do not need anything else for them.

I use V4 almost exclusively, for exactly the same reasons as MistyLaraPrincess...   Most V4 clothes come with a good chunk of Morphs++ support while V3 clothes usually dont have much morph support... V4 makes getting the clothes to fit a hell of a lot easier and no need to use wardrobe wizard to get clothes to fit !!!! :D

 I think V3 wasn't a bad mesh (I'm not a modeller though) and if she was re-rigged she would be fantastic.  When her mouth isn't too open and a nice morph she is way prettier than anything I can do with V4.  And at least she has tendons in her wrists (unlike V4 who always looks a bit puffy and too smooth to me). But she did have the spaghetti arms problems.
There are people here developing new things that could possibly rejuvenate V3, but by then I suspect daz will put out V5.
Anyway to answer the question - yes I still use her at times.
Love esther

corvas already made something for V3's shoulders.  and V4's ridiculously high cut shoulders aren't any better (imho) without corvas' fix for her.  i say that having tried about 3 or 4 other fixes for them before his.

 You made me curious- so I just rendered V3 for the first time since 2007. She's not bad!
And she renders fast! I will have to re-explore....

I still use her constantly. If you care to purchase all the available morph packs, she remains the most versatile poser character, imho. Her textures, in both variety and quality, are excellent and don't slow my system to a crawl when rendering.

Yes, do use her more then V4, but I've got a lot of things for her, I wouldn't buy something new quickly.

But... such a poll will not give you a good overview....... Most people who buy stuff will never visit these forums, there's only a very small fraction of the people buying at these and other forums. I'd say most like 90% of the people who buy stuff, never participate in any of the major forums.

I try to use all the models I have.(including V3) As long as I can find something for them to wear.

 I must be in the 10% - I buya  lot of things and I like the forums a lot.
Sometimes I hear about new things here.
Love esther

 V3 is better than I remembered. I just pulled up a few V3 characters from 2005 or so-and a late V3 from 2007. Pretty decent- especially with a modern version of Poser (Pro2010 in this case)- and BagginsBill's VSS3 and Envirosphere. She does render faster-and the face looks at least as realistic as V4's methinks.

   Dang it SickenleySweete- now I feel obliged to blow the Dust off some old CD's and reload some V3 stuff! As if my Runtime was not already Giganormous!

 I use V3 and SP3 still quite a lot.  They have quite a lot of nice clothing and are lean on resources.

I have a lot of clothing and really nice characters for V3. I hardly have anything for V4. When I saw V4 for the first time, I remember thinking it was a step backward. She looked rather toonish/out of proportion much more than her previous iterations.

Anyway, with still having so much for V3, her ease of use compared to V4, VSS, improved Poser rendering....there's no reason for me not to use Vicky 3. I have absolutely gobs of clothes for her, and since they fit her better than anyone....why try and fit those clothes to V4??

;o)

Laurie

Quote - why try and fit those clothes to V4??

Because you can!

I was going to say something else ;) but opted not to.

I don't need to fit em to V4...lol....they look fine on V3 ;o).

I have XD and all the plugins necessary, but if I'm satisfied with the way one of my V3 characters looks, I really don't see the need to use them converted to a V4 where they will not fit as nicely anyway ;o). Besides, if I do decide to use my V3 clothes on V4, I'll probably just convert them to dynamic...hehe.

Laurie

I use V3, and especially V3 Reduced Resolution. I think I shall be in the market for V3 textures for quite some time yet. The same goes for wearable clothes (not skimpy stuff).

 v3 does have s slight back hump which puts her in the 40 yr old age range.

Hey! I'm in the 40 yr old age range and you can't even see my hump! I hide it under my double chin. I thought of throwing in the towel and just laying down and dying, but I thought better of it since I can just hide inside my house and never come out again. I hate myself when I go outside and scare children and small animals....

I never use V or M: Poser rules

I use whichever figure my images call for if they have the neccesary accesories.

 it's just a fact that the shape of our thoraces change with age.  The become larger from front to back and less wide from side to side as time goes on.
Our spines slowly start to curve.  If you have good posture your whole life it might not be so apparent until you are 60 or more.
Love esther

I use V2 and V3.  Never downloaded V4.  By the time I amass a whole new wardrobe for her, V5 would make her debut.  Between magnets, the morphing tool, Wardrobe Wizard, and Photoshop for postwork, I can do anything with my girls.

   LaurieA- I am glad I was NOT drinking water when I read your post about scaring children and animals. It would have been sprayed all over the computer!

 LaurieA - hehe sorry, you can come out now.
I was just thinking about you when I was in the product showcase forums looking at the new dynamic clothes.  where are your dynamic clothes?  I would really love to buy the t-shirts and jeans when they are finished.  Please don't forget about that project.

Eric the V3 looks 40 or so and the girls look in their early 30s to me.

Love esther

Hi Esther

 I think you are right! They are all younger than me anyway. :-) In Callyfohnia (How Arnold Der Governator says it) the drinking age is 21. They look like teens to me! So I guess I am a poor at estimating age.

 V3s face could be morphed to look very young. with V4 it is more difficult, but her body can be made to look young.

LOLOL!!

Laurie

I only use V3.  No V4.

 someone made a magnet to dehump her back once. I think it was in free stuff.
Love esther

A3 is still my first choice but there is no getting around it.

It is a M4, V4 world.  There is still lots of stuff for V3 but it is being pushed aside for V4.

Until V5 comes along.

I use V3 almost exclusively.  While I like V4's facial expressions and easy morphing, V3 always looks like a person, whereas you have to have the right texture to make V4 realistic.  V3 appears to actually have bones in her face; V4's face is unnaturally smooth.  In addition, I prefer the old "one texture fits all" idea of the generation 3 figures rather than the "let's make more money by making it impossible to swap textures" philosophy.

I still use V3 almost exclusively. I've never really warmed up to V4.

I use all of 'em at the time it suits.  Have to say I'm disappointed overall with V4.  Seems like a missed opportunity to me.  

I hate the default shape and there's something inherently "off" about it that no amount of morphs seem to cure, unless you go the Blackhearted route and redo the whole thing from top to bottom.  

I like the way V4 bends when compared to V3** ** but that's not saying much.

Never did take to any of the Poser native figures much.  Posette, in its time, was great.  Still useful now and again (Hi David).  Says a lot that it's an old Zygote/DAZ figure, huh?
