FREE! Or will be when I get it out of my lab. Dryad Character. Compatible with V4, with texture maps for V4. Essentially load V4, load Dryad character, conform Dryad to V4. Pose V4 as you want, then apply leaf texture to V4. (Reason to wait until you are satisfied with the pose before applying texture is so you can more easily see what V4 is doing) The dryad character is completely made out of branches throughout the model. (If you cut her in half, she would be filled with branches- cutting her in half is not an option, sorry) Comes in two flavors, sparse (shown in pictures) and dense (Very resource intensive!).
She does have a number of problems I haven't been able to resolve. There are some poke throughs on the base model branches that intersect the V4 mesh, may be a feature.... Needs further refinement. There are no morphs, although you can create them in Poser 9 and above and they somewhat work. The Dryad figure shares no mesh with V4, and I have no clue as to how to make morphs. To get around this, you can apply morphs to the V4 character to suggest the shape you are looking for. (again, seen in pictures) And every once in a while, a part of her will spike out in some random direction. I'm told this can be fixed by adjusting the spheres, whatever that means.
I've made two leaf textures for V4 so far, Ivy and Grape leaves.
Still working on PDF instructions.
Hope to have it available before Christmas.
