Quote - hah that "renda" glimpse was funny - seems like a fig totally ripped off of V4.
I hate V4 - its just that it seems like she always ends up looking good in your render no matter how F'd up you set her up.
sort of like "ends justify the means" philosophy went into her build.
cuz right off the shelf she look like shit.
@ P3D - I recently closely matched the dimensions of a Poser native fig so I could see what would happen if I stole the rig - I mean i made the fig so that JCs could basically match up - and yeah the JCMs didnt serve my particular mesh well, even with the JCs doing not bad on a basic level.
also the whole array of application scale of the JCMS will never be right for your own mesh also , even with joint centers matching.
Hi Santicor :)
Nice figure you have going there. Good to see something new.
I agree, I always hated V4, because of the magnets. I liked her topology it was pretty smooth. But I hated all the mags and slow load times. She does look bland right out of the box, but I think that may be by design. It leaves more options open that way, she can be easily morphed into varied shapes. But with all the power of daz behind her of course she will be the most popular figure, was there ever any doubt? If another group (you would need a group) were to start making kickass figures, it would still take many years to ever top the daz figures in popularity. You have market trend and the general buyers perceptions to deal with. Truth and quality really have no say in the market in short term. If everyone believes something is just the bomb then it is. Long term, perhaps truth and quality may win out, but not likely.
