Quote - Thanks for the input, DM. Of course a lot of what you mention can be done with V4 morphs.

I guess I'm trying to understand the market niche that Steph fills. I get the feeling that she is younger and more petite than Vickie. Perhaps Steph would be the model to use if you were going for a teen or pre-teen. A replacement for Laura maybe?

 

The niche is normal sized people. The average human female is around 5'5".  If you put 100 randomly selected women in a large room, less than 10 of them would be V4's height (5'10" using the Poser 5/Daz Studio scale, 6'4" in the Poser 6 scale).  See:

for more info on figure height.

If all you are doing is images with a single character, it isn't a big deal.  Start putting more people in a scene & it will look odd that everyone is the same height.

In addition, the SP mesh had a number of updates that were never backed into Vicky.  Steph doesn't make a good preteen.  She is past puberty, so one has to do a bit of work to the mesh (hips, breasts, head, etc.)
