Quote - Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees something like this coming in the not too distant future, I've mentioned it before & been told to pull my head out of where they suggest I've got it firmly placed.
The Daz Gen4 Figure is nice, but it's not great & yes I said figure not figures, it's a single template that they've morphed to different shapes, a bit like the Emperors new clothes in my opinion, they're selling thin air & people are falling over themselves in their haste to beg for more.
I'm not too sure if there is a plan B though, I'm no modeller & my texturing skills are next to useless. Lets hope someone who can do it actually does it & we can get back to normal even without Daz & it's naked Emperor.
AH-fucking-HEM!
I first mentioned this way, way back when Penguinisto was working for DAZ and was called names for mentioning it and accused of scaremongering.
It gives me no satisfaction to say "I told you so" but I did. The posts will be in the forum archives somewhere but I'm buggered if I can be bothered to look for them.
Anyhow, I think the situation may well be taken care of by the likes of Antonia and other, future, "independent" figures.
Either that or, Smith Micro will get a modelling team who knows what humans actually look like, and how they are proportioned. Or not.
In any case, who really cares? It's not like the existing models wear out, is it?
