Well, I don't like "Idealistic."

I find it boring and phoney. It might work in advertising (Also mostly boring and phoney) or fashion magazine covers (The epitome of phoney), but I don't want that rubbish in Poser.

Or, to be precise, I don't want people selling "idealistic" as "realistic" because they know that most people can't really tell the difference. (And yeah, DAZ is very guilty of that.)

 

Of course I like beauty, but only if it is actually possible in reality.

Make up ? Of course !

Symmetrical face features ? No problem. Some people have won the genetic lottery.

Triple stacked implants to create basketball sized boobs ? No problem also, as some women actually do that in real life.

 

But everything that goes beyond humanly possible needs to be reserved for cartoons.

I don't want any "Hmm, she looks great but wouldn't she look even better with their legs just a tad longer and her waist a just a tad smaller ?" nonsense.

(And yeah, I know leg bones can be chirurgically broken to create longer legs and ribs can be removed to create smaller waists. But, seriously ?)

A realistic Poser figure needs to be an exact replica of an actual human being, not the "fantasy woman" of the person who built her.

You can do that with add-on morphs if you like, but the default needs to be realistic.

Not semi-realistic, not fantasy-realistic, not photoshopped realistic.

I want "scanned from an actual human" realistic.

Photometrics are cheap now.

Use them.

 

Or simply call what you want a "toon" and not a "realistic human".

I have no problem people using toons for their renders.

Just be honest.

And not phoney.
