Quote - basically what carodan said sums it up. there are some smaller issues he didnt mention, but it all boils down to the fact that the base poser figures are a little rough around the edges and harder to work with from a vendor standpoint. i do disagree on one thing: the base body/head shape is totally irrelevent (except for the initial impression it leaves on a user) - and not something people should worry too much about. the issues i am speaking about are mesh/UV related. but for the past few months ive been pestering SM to make top notch base figures a priority and they are listening. but its not going to happen overnight. the base figures are just a part of the poser software development and therefore they cant exactly go and release a new SR every time a potential issue with them is found. keep in mind also that fixing some of the issues with them would invalidate all existing alyson content - since remapping, regrouping, changing a single vert, etc would nuke all morphs/textures/etc (~90% of addon content). i do believe there is hope for the base figures, however, since the people at SM do listen and are a very friendly and down to earth and open to ideas/feedback. the latest advancements in weight mapping and SSS also open up a world of new possibilities. i still intend to work with vicky but it really is in the poser community's best interest for there to be several viable base figures. this forces all figure creators to innovate and push boundaries rather than simply sit back on their laurels. alyson is a little rough around the edges but i do believe she is worth working with.

Uh...I know I'm a bit tardy to the party, but, Gabe, this is fan-f*ckingTASTIC.  I seriously sat staring at it for a few minutes.  (It could have something to do with being tired, but let's not go there.)
