In no way am I saying that Dina is the perfect example of a woman's body (what is that anyway?), and yes, the original model had some "enhancements", so she is not quite the "norm". As far as I know, she did not have a nose job, but who knows for sure. I also remember Vicki getting criticised just as harshly when she first came out, and to my eye, Vicki has worse anatomical "defects". Vicki's torso is too long, her hips are too deep and her crotch is not even close to being realistic. It's not just a lack of gentialia, but the fact that it comes to a point between her legs. Her hands are too big in proportion to her body. Her arms are too long. Her neck is way too long and her eyes and mouth have some definite problems that have been helped by the Vicki 2 morphs, but not completely corrected. Vicki's proportions are more that of a fashion model, which is nowhere near the norm for most human females. She is not "average" enough in any way to be considered a blank slate, and yet many people have made very attractive characters from this model. I think that one of the things that is happening here is that everyone's eyes are used to looking at Vicki's proportions (and even SMV which is more like a fashion illustration's proportions than a fashion model's), so Dina looks squat in comparison. I know how easily this happens from working in retail fashion for many years and looking at pictures of models all day long every day. After a while, a more normally proportioned woman looks short and fat. Posette, too, has her anatomical anomalies. Her neck is also way too long and her breasts don't really look like breasts at all, "enhanced" or otherwise. But people have taken both of these models and added their own vision of what is beautiful to them. The same will happen with Dina. I'm seeing it already. I've done some morphs for her myself because I prefer her legs and hips a little more shapely and her abdomen a little heavier. I also tweaked her nose and lowered her eyebrows. But that's my taste. It may not be the next person's. The morphs are available free on both www.thegrc.com and www.renderotica.com (warning, renderotica is for adults only). praxis22, please don't tell me that if you were to design a woman from scratch you would make her look like Vicki or Posette? :-)
