"If only Smith Micro would let Blackhearted, the Antonia crew and BB get together to make some kick ass native Poser figures featuring every single Poser enhancement and a slew of content to go with them,"

For such an undertaking SM should
$$pay$$ those people you named their full commercial rate under contract.

History (remember Luxpose???), has shown that such "Community projects" have the potential to quickly go down in flames when disagreements erupt amongst the volunteers.

I completely agree, Wolf.  I wouldn't expect anything less.  I honestly believe a figure made by such talented people and with the full backing of Smith Micro would go a long way to making people see there's more to life than DAZ.  I believe DAZ has thrived for so long in Poserdom because - and let's be perfectly honest here - there's really been no complete credible alternative when it came to human figures.  Every single one of the non DAZ figures has had something or other which prevented it being an across the board success in the way the various Victorias were.  Even V3 and V4 with their many and well documented faults were immensely popular.  SM need to do something to fill the gap now that DAZ isn't playing any more.

One exception to the community project rule you mentioned is Antonia but for various reasons that particular model doesn't seem set to take over from Victoria.  That's not a criticism of the figure, btw, just my opinion on how it seems from here.  I don't see a plethora of Antonia this/that/other everywhere, unlike Victoria.
