Did she get released while I wasn't paying attention? or are we still waiting?  I'm not complaining either way :) just curious.

Hi John,
Miki3 is still being fine tuned in the development process. They want to make sure she is a star before she is released.

@ SM: Keeping us informed is a good idea  ;)  .

Would be nice, I was beginning to think they had shelved the idea.

No, the guy with the copyright for the term "soon" has moved from DAZ to SM ;)

I suppose SM has read the Antonia thread and realised that they had a lot of more work to do.

best regards,

Having been part of and seen the development process of Miki I commend SM for not releasing something that was not finished.
Too many times we have seen developers push a product out the door to the masses that was unfinished...and the masses would ultimately crucify the developer for doing so.

Miki will hatch when the time is right.

 Miki 2 is one of my favorite Poser figures. Although i have and admire V4 and Aiko4 i still like Miki 2 more.  

If Miki 3 looks like the images they showed on CP i may not get her.

If she looks like the girl on the Japanese Poser 8 box i will.

                                                                                     Once again :I don't want them to push Miki 3 and I don't want them to hurry .All I want them, is to stay in contact with us and tell us about the progresses .Letting us know that Miki 3 has not been dropped.

How is Miki 3 doing ? At which point of development are you ? What difficulties are you dealing wtih right now ? What do you think the release date will be ? Do you expect her to be the best Poser figures ever ? What references do you use ? Do you make use of the PoserMorphLoader tool to give her realistic joint angles ? Renember, Miki 3 is still the most wanted Poser item to me .

 I imagine the Japanese Poser community will embrace Miki3 more than the US.  We seem to have a Vicki obsession.

Look at what happened to poor Olivia from SM.  She's a really great figure.  Do ever see any renders of her?  And she has almost zero clothing items.  Meanwhile Vicki has a dozen of everything.

Yes Olivia ,really bad marketing : The same default body as Sydney and a face that is nothing but a morphed Sydney face . too bad I don't use Olivia because she is superficial ,I use Sydney instead.However I prefere G2 based females over all that "morph++ed"  Vickies.

It's true. Olivia and Sydney dont have all the goodies. I like Olivia and Sydney more than Vicky.

Now there's a banner on the CP hompage, which says "coming this fall". And it links to a sale for Miki2 stuff.

I think I like that new small portrait of Miki 3 more than the few other promo pics I've seen of her.

Hah !!! a sign of life .

Man,,, they have really maintained ziplock on Miki3.  Looking forward to this.

The joints in her arms look off.  It appears that they made conforming clothing/hair for her rather than dynamic versions - it's a shame they are not taking advantage of Poser's capabilities.

Gotta love those expressions. She has a great looking smile, something that has usually been lacking. Overall, from the pics, she looks like an improvement over past figures. I think its a good thing that the Poser team is making a notable effort to improve their figures. Warrants encouragement. :-)

The range of expressions they showed really makes me ready for this model to come out. It also makes me want to see a new Terai Yuki model... but I know that's just wishful thinking on my part. I'll make do with Miki 3 instead.

According to today's Facebook post, she's "on her way"-could she than perhaps arrive Tomorrow?
