Quote - Update on Roxie. (That is halted right now, as I hurt my right hand pretty badly yesterday) I am suffering to type these few words.

One does not need more polygons.
Rex and Roxie are magnificent in the poly department. They morph extremely well.
It is what you do with the polygons what is important.

Their problems are mainly rigging.

 

I would almost agree, except that Rex needs more geometry in his legs in order to acheive any real muscle tone. As it is, it just doesn't work. I spent nearly 2 weeks working on a more anatomically correct FBM for him, but pretty much gave up cause the leg geometry just isnt there to achieve proper musculature. So not sure if I'll continue it or not, cause that aspect alone just bugs me and makes the morph less than what I want it to be. (It was an attempt to be a sort of precursor to the figures I've been working on).

I do like these figures tho. I didn't at first. My preference is still P6 James and Jessie (not their rigging, just their shapes), but Rex and Roxie are up there too.  

I like the idea of a mid-term content update, but it seems SM doesn't want to put the resources into it. They would likely need to bring in more artists, I'm guessing. Just guessing. Who knows why they don't focus on content, since that is the driving force behind their software and without it, the software would have no audience.
