Quote - "Realistic is as real as you want it to be, we are working in a 3D world, where anything is possible."

Nope. What is possible has nothing to do with what is real.

There's only one "realistic". Realism = depicting Reality.

If it's not realistic, it's something else.

So why not just give it a different name ?

As I said, no problem with Dawn being not realistic.

Just don't try to sell her as such unless you can proof it.

 

I don't know but after 60 years of slugging through this world I have come to realize that "Reality" is mere perception affected by gender, culture, socio-exconomic standing, upbringing, education....to name a few. When we try to prove our perceptins are better than others bcomes anathema of our social interaction and should be avoided at all cost.

I can give an example.

 I love centaurs as a mythological creature because i love horses.

I can look at a depiction of a horse and decide if it is a "true" depiction of a horse based on my history loving and drawing and photographing and viewing horses. The centaur being a cross between a man and a horse should have certain proportions to make it seem "Realiatic" to me based on my past understandings of the creature. Any model or drawing or digital manip- that renders a view of the Centaur that does not conform to my IDEAL fails to stimulate my interest.

In lieu of this I have yet to find a Centaur figure in one created for Poser or D/S that completely satisfies my definition of the IDEAL centaur either out of the box or with dials.

I am sure that also applies to DAWN or the big butt, shoulder deficient V3 and V4, or the homely out of the box Antonia, or the ugly foot ugly hand Miki, or..............whtever.

Ideals, as was stated here is all this is about and ideals change as there are people on this planet...or fickle opinionated community.

Thank goodness for the dials!   ;)
