V4.......Hated the figure. Magnets galore, and all sorts of problems. But wait, let me qualify, I dont really like any of the commercial figures, so no surprise. But then came M4, and I was actually half impressed, so much I even made some things for it, and I dont make anything for any figure but my own usually. Nice clean rigging without all the junk added to it. Out of all the figures produced by Daz or SM I think M4 has been their best. (except perhaps M2 still pretty good.) M4, a bit high res but I dont mind high res. Smooth mesh and decent to good joints, definitely a step in the right direction. IMHO.
So for the future V5 Lose all the junk, work on the rigging, simple but elegant. I would like to see the new P8 rigging used but if it's adds too much junk then dont. Realistic proportions would be nice, but not a deal breaker, so make what sells. I would like to have a quick lite version with just the basic rig that a person could be allowed to work on it without violating some proprietary rules. Let people make their own V5 with it, basically, you may like some of the things people come up with. A developer version I suppose. I dont know how that could be done really, but I would like it. One last thing, a good book or manual on Daz Studio so I can learn more of it than just the set up tools, please.
cheers.
