I'm amazed that no more people have jumped in here and screamed ANTONIA!
Right.. she's not done, but she WILL be. As will Brad, who, although a lot less exposed here, will be equally amazing.
There ARE other people than the modelers at Daz (whomever they are after Anton left?) that can make GOOD looking humans!
And from all I have seen, Antonia is going to be as free as Vickie[insert number here] - as will (at leas I think...) Brad.
And both of these figures have joints that FAR surpasses anything Daz has ever come out with.
Seriously.. I'm puzzled.. Why are you all acting like Antonia doesn't exist? she has a thread her with more than 100 pages... it's not like she's a secret! There's a working beta out - for free. She has an awesome body and a nice, easily morphable face (I should know, I made several face morphs for her in an even earlier beta stage)
I can sorta understand why Brad is overlooked.. I haven't heard about him for a while either and he is a gasp MALE figure. And we all know that only gay people (and TrekkieGrrrl) ever renders males ;) But still.. he is absolutely up to par for a male counterpart for Antonia.
BUT...
the thing is.. just as some people do not like the Daz characters, or the native Poser ones, there are thouse who'll shun everything JUST BECAUSE IT COMES FROM RENDEROSITY! There. I said it. Some people actually hates this place! Whether or not their hatred is justified is beyond the point. They do and they would rather break their arm than download a figure if it came from here.
Is it stupid? Yes. Is it stupid to disregard the native Poser figures after ONE load of them with their default low rez textures? Yes.
As it is easily seen from my renders, my favourite figure is Simon. A native Poser character. He has a GREAT body and a very morph-friendly face. But a lot of people just doesn't even consider the native Poser figures because they've HEARD that ther'yre crap.
The women are. They look odd. But the males are absolutely quite lovely!
And no there isn't a lot of content for them. But as it's been said. it's buyer's market here. I have made stuff for the native Poser figures (Simon et. al..) and it sold so bad that most of it has even fallen off the Clearance vagon and into the great big void of Has Beens.
And it doesn't really make me feel like doing a lot more for those characters, eventhough they're my personal favourites... Not much of an idea in spending weeks on something that'll sell once or twice and then no more...
So the last two things i've made has (semi-reluctantly) been something for V4. A character I never use myself other than to make promos for my stuff.. but.. it sells... Go figure...

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
