Stepping in to get my head chopped off...
I like the Victoria4 figure. Oh, she took some getting used to, but what I find attractive is her versatility. By which I mean what's been made for her, both in the freebie arena and commercially. There's just so MUCH... I have gigabytes of stuff to play with... stuff I haven't even unzipped. Like BasicWiz, I reckon I'm set until the Greens are voted in here in Oz.
However, as I said before, V4 did require some getting used to. One can get used to just about anything, I guess: a toothache, cold weather, being pregnant, Blender... well, maybe not Blender :lol: but anyway, with all her vagaries, I got used to V4 simply because there's so much that's been made for her and what one can do for her and with her.
Now, most of my poses with her are of her in some standing position. She doesn't bend right - not her arms, not her legs: Antonia wins in that ability challenge, hands (and feet) down. Terai Yuki 2 wins in the charm department. But like when I bring out Miki 2 to play, I keep running into limitations. Same with Terai.
So, here's the thing... (see, I say that too, Laurie :biggrin:) I'm going to guess - haven't really had a close look but people seem to think this is significant - that the overwhelming problem with non-Daz figures are the lack of morphs and dials available. What's involved in adding some to say Alison (sp?) or some of the other Poser-natives? I'm talking heaps more facial stuff, morphs galore. More dials than V. What indeed is involved in making them?
Someone makes those - and also for older figures... that would suddenly breathe a lot more life into them. Who the heck needs V4 then? Wee doan need no steenkeeng V4!
Tedious to make, you say? Teach ME and I'll make them. Or we could make this a community effort... you Laurie do the mouth area, you Paul do the brows, I'll muck around with cheeks, let Fred there clean up the ears, and Glenda... ummmmmmmmmm, you can do textures, Glenda... you're GOOD at that!
Whaddaya say?
