I am also astounded by the negativity.
Well, let me say why I do like her:
I like the shape of the body a lot, all three body morphs in fact. I like much it better than any other Poser figure in its default state. The body is sexy and womanly, I can relate to it. I like that the breasts look as if they have some weight to them. I like that there is some fleshiness on the torso when she bends sideways. The modelling on the abdomen pleases me, she has a nice waist, and the waist is where I want it, not too high or too low. The thighs and hips have a feminine look, she has curves and muscles but she doesn't look as if she spends her life in the gym. The Amazon and Voluptuous morphs look more like the African women I see every day than any other figure around, except perhaps for Bella. So she suits my purpose very well.
The face is a good starting point for making my own custom faces, and I am already working on that. Even in its default unmorphed state it is a face shape I can use if I need a caucasian character.
She isn't the latest in Poser tech, she was made using Poser 6. But why should users of earlier versions of Poser not have a new figure to play with? I'll be using her with EZskin. I'll make my own textures. I'll even share them. So she is not weight-mapped. That is a challenge, not a problem. I make very little use of weightmapped figures anyway.
There is a free version. The paid version, with three full body morphs and a good collection of other morphs, is only $10, for goodness' sake.
On principle, I support individuals who put in the effort to produce something new. For the work of one person, I think this figure is exceptional. BVH produced her in a very short time, and I see no indication that he is going to stop working on her. The Baron is open to feedback.
