Quote - I paid nothing for V4, the base figure was free, as were all the Daz base figures at the time. I bought the morphs and content only - but the morph pack was loaded. That made all the difference.

I think it is the quality of the morphs that made her succeed. By the time I became interested in Poser, V4 was already popular, so I don't really know how she was launched. But the message I got initially was - she is supported, you can get stuff for her (free and paid for), you can do almost anything with her. And I never felt that those claims were unrealistic. African characters were available - important to me. At the time I couldn't model to save my life, and my texturing skills were limited. Getting the base figure free and being able to do so much with it for a small outlay was a bonanza.

Her downside when I started using her, was that she was high-poly and this limited what I could put in my scenes.

Yeah Nanette, I'm with you. The morphs are really important to me. My favorites are the Capsces series of morphs. I actually use M4 and K4 more than V4 and for some reason I like having a full family, man, woman, and child that have a similar look even though I may not use them together. The different ethnic variations are important as well and Capsces has African, Asian, Indian and European faces to get you started as well as some premade body shapes. All in one package. Some may not like their "artistic" look but I find it unique.

Creature Creator is also a plus. Once again cross gender with a number of third party tools to add them to your K4 figures. Add in morphs++, pretty much any skin shade you can imagine and "niche" clothing such as African, Egyptian, Victorian, and Native American and the Gen 4 figures are extremely versitile.
