Quote - > Quote - I know I will get slammed for this, but multiple versions are going to kill this figure and just add confusion. Its a fork in the road basically. The one path is constant updates and upgrading (which I have nothing against) Vs the general public wondering what is going on.

No offense, but for a very long time, every DAZ figure has come out with the default version + a lo res version + a blank developement version. These are all "Support" figures. Why on earth would having a Walk Designer version for developing poses for the Official version kill Antonia? It's a support version. Many figures have come with support versions in the past and have been more than successful. In fact, I'd venture to say that any figure that hasn't come with support and development versions has had piss poor support.

I may not have any memory but didn't (doesn't) Posette (P4 Nude Woman) have multiple versions for her too? EVE and all the others that were modified to work with better more advnced mapping and updated mesh for genital details etc.?

I know I was confused by all that. Just when I thought I finally got a hot Posette I had to find something els to either make her work or try one of the other versions.

The developers got through this problem and variations of Posette are still out there being used. People got used to wading through the variations of her to get what they needed and she managed to please a lot of users in the community for a long time. Of coure she was an industry standard with mucho support both in private and corporate sector but users got the idea. If you recll she had suh a large following until very recently her fans had a big site dedicated to her: POSETTE FOREVER

I am sure it will eventually work with Antonia......if you get the following now.

As a dunderhead, what I think would make it easier for me would be this:

A permanent DL site with:

Antonia 1.0.0 or whatever updated variation developed with a clear statement this version it is for regular posing and rendering ONLY.

For use of anoni in: Whatever app or function DL one of these:

Antonia-WW

Antonia Mimic

Antonia-PuppetMaster

Atonia-Walk Designer

Etc.

Forget the numbers or if you want to include numbers to mark version updates proceed it with the word "UPDATE" and a note to read the Readme for explanation of use.

That way if I don't give a hullablloo about WW or WD or whatever she is going to be used for I can just step over it, under it or around t to the newest version of the dolly I want to play with.

Simple enough a third grader can figure it out....I think!  :o)
