Quote - I repeat a thought I posted in an earlier thread:

I think many are in denial as to what the vast majority of Poser users use Poser for. I have no hard evidence... just a gut feel based on the posted renders and the clothing available in the stores. But it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it until proven wrong! :)

And yes, I'm as guilty as the next guy... I have 4 times the clothes for my Vicki that I have for Michael... and I own about 90% of what is out for Michael... and Tyler... I used them (clothed) A LOT!

Given this, I've been ammused from the beginning of my involvement with the hobby how there is never any room for the male package in trousers made for the Poser males. Perhaps the ideal is the Middle Eastern Palaces of 500 years ago... many scanitlly clad females ready and willing, guarded by an army of eunucks! If a male character removes his slacks you get the "Wow! Where was he hiding THOSE" effect.

And, BTW, the Poser cloth simulation FAILS if you try to use dynamic slacks to remedy the situation. I mean, it lays down and DIES!

Too silly for words.

The Genesis 1 & 2 males have a package morph. I noticed, because in Poser, the automatic addition of morphs applies it to outerwear as well. Very noticeable! LOL.

I had the same problems with M4, until I discovered TrekkieGrrl's "Bulges" morphs. Work like a dream, both for dynamic, and in Morphing Clothes.

Edit: FTR, I agree with you about what I believe Poser is mostly used for. :D
