Well, Vicky 5 loads in 22 seconds on my 4GB i5 Laptop.

Yes, that is slow, but IMO not that bad compared to how long it took to inject all morphs into V3 or V4.

 

A little workaround to speed things up:

Convert the V5 texture you want to use to V4 or apply a regular V4 texture instead.

(After you switched V5's UV's to V4, of course.)

Then save that copy of V5 with that texture applied to your runtime just as you'd do with any other figure.

If you re-load her, V5 now loads directly from an actual Poser cr2 and not via DSON.

She now loads in half the time, and as she reverts back to her default V4 UV set, the (V4) texture you saved her with will match.

This also saves you the EZSkin step, as the supplied .duf SSS shaders look pretty awful in Poser.

You can still swap UV sets afterwards by applying a different .duf texture, but she'll always load with V4 UV sets, as those are the Genesis I defaults sets.

You can also safe her with Poser Unimesh skinning SubD already enabled and DSON SubD disabled to save that extra step, too.

I had no problems loading her from a saved .pzz, either.

It's not ideal, but as I said, just a workaround that might speed things up a little.
