Quote - Wow!  Definitely got my answer.  Thanks all 

 

Glad I could help.

 

Personally, I don't think Genesis is best judged against V4 (or against V3 or David or The Girl or The Troll or...) but on it's own merits. Because if one wants V4 - well, we already have it. I think Genesis is much better at being Genesis than it is at being V4, and V4 is much better at being V4 than it is at being The Troll ;) (I also tend to think that the origianl the Girl is better at being The Girl than V4 is ;) )

 

For example - here's V4 with smoothing turned off (so showing the actual mesh) and V5 with smoothing turned on (showing it as close to "as intended" as Poser does with it), side-by-side and using the same texture:

Although neither Genesis nor V5 were actually designed for Poser, I personally think that V5 (designed not for Poser, but for Genesis) looks better than Genesis-as-V4. That blck line actually only appears when the character is smoothed, so it may be possible to light it better to get better results. I'm afraid I'm not much of one for postwork so I hesitate to suggest using postwork to smooth out that one area - but to me the eyes and lips also look much improved over the "V4 clone" look.

Cheers,

PS V5 is short - so I've raider her up to get her head at a similar level.
