shes almost ready, but im kindof in a quandary here: im trying to figure out how to distribute this.
Anastasia for Alyson 1 works great. the morph is identical except for Alyson 1's little T-rex arms which i have remedied with some scaling.
However, everything in the GND: Anastasia package was built for Alyson 2 from the ground up. All of her content is geared towards the base Alyson 2 version. Her poses, her SSS shaders, JCMs, etc. Unfortunately functionality is lost with the Alyson 1 version. Even little things like her smart props and poses need tweaking. That said, the morph transferred perfectly and this is the best Alyson 1 has ever looked.
But I am not going to go through all the effort I went through making GND: Anastasia for Alyson 2 all over again just to completely port it to Alyson 1. Nor am I going to make every future update and add-on twice over just to maintain Alyson 1 compatibility... And I cant just put her in freestuff because its my full morph.
I was thinking of adding her as an unsupported free supplemental package to GND: Anastasia, with a disclaimer that you are getting her AS IS. There is still plenty there to be worth the while for adventurous Poser users who really want her in P8, but I'm not going to start taking bad feedback because the Alyson 1 version doesnt look/work exactly the Alyson 2 version. I'm going out of my way to provide extra functionality here, but I dont want me or my work to suffer for it.
Any thoughts?
