Even with just the base morphs loaded, V4 is capable of a lovely open smile. There are many free face morphs available for her, and if you add purchased morphs she becomes very expressive indeed. For me, a figure has to be able to produce a natural-looking smile without a lot of fuss. With V4 you can get that without spending any money. That is the greatest shortcoming of the early Poser figures. Up to the G2 figures, they just don't smile very well. Original Vicky already overcame that. Posette, Judy and P6 Jessi don't have natural looking smiles, and no amount of re-mapping can fix that. To an extent you can improve the smile with additional morphs on Judy (Eternal Judy) and Jessi (Ultimate Head Morphs), but it is just too difficult to get a reasonable smile out of Posette, even with the additional morphs included in PosetteV3. Perhaps I don't have the skill or the patience. But for the purpose for which I use Poser, I need to be able to just dial a smile, and it must look friendly, real and engaging. The G2 figures smile beautifully, as does Alyson and her sisters. All the Daz figures come with a good smile. I appreciate that.
