Quote - > Quote - What do you think made V4 so popular? You can make the argumentt that she was a Daz figure, but you can make the same argument about Aiko and Stephanie Petite. You can make the argument that it was the mesh, but then why not the Aiko 4 or Stephanie 4 morphs for her?

Well. since you asked :blink: 

IMVHO she was the best quality figure and the best supported figure for a long time. V4 also is currently the "best" figure (both in quality and support) that can be used in any version of Poser from 4 up,  and in any version of DS. When she came out, she was considered by most users to be the most realistic figure available.

You also have to have V4 to use S4, Aiko 4, or G4. Most cloths that fit S4, A4, or G4, also fit V4 (actually, the cloths were suposed to be designed for V4, with morphs for the other figures to "work properly"), which kinda makes V4 the default figure that most of the content providors would create for, even if their goal was to create for the other figures.

Top notch quality, top notch support, and tons of images in the galleries made her popularity soar.

I gotta applaud that! 

V4 had everything going right for her, and that continued on for years, it is very hard beat that kind of popularity.
