Deecey has nailed it:   Anastasia is now ported to Alyson 1!!!!   so Poser 8 support is coming soon.  I will post a render shortly, i just need to remember to turn SSS off :P

it means i will need to do a slight shoulder tweak for her, port over her supplementary morphs like breasts and calves, and rework the shaders for P8.  But its definitely going to be a reality. Of course P8 alyson has a couple quirks - like her arms will be a bit shorter, but other than that it looks pretty close. When it gets to that point ill be posting some comparisons of the P8 and P9+ versions of Anastasia.

Many thanks to Deecey's ingeniousness :)
