Still not sure why people are so anti V4 in the first place. I think she's a good figure. And I shop at Daz, when I, rarely, purchase pre made content. Perhaps others feel screwed by them in some way... but I personally have never had any bad experiences dealing with any of the poser content marketplaces.
My answer is: It is not the mesh, it is how she is handled. She comes with a whole lot of morph++ setting, which seems to be good, but all ou get in the sttores are remote dial files that set your morph++ sliders. And this for years. It just bores me. If anybody comes along with custom made morphes, I'd go for it, but this is realy a rare event in the stores.
For example: I was looking for a long time to find some nice smiles for V4. The default smile is just ugly, but nobody made a custom new smile set. all that was availeble are sets of existing morph++ combinations, that don't really make it better.
So, after allmost 9???years of V4 every published morph-set just look the same to me. Pixi-faces with that all the same "oops, I've stuck a magic mushroom up my butt" face.
so don't get me wrong, V4 is a great figure. It is too bad, that a modern weight mapped V4 doesn't get more support from the V4 fans, and nobody wants to do something unique with her.
I can only name 3 Vendors, who stick out of that mainstream morph++ all-the-same-V4-look:
AlphaseeD (Alice)
Blackhearted (GND)
Erogenesis (Lali) (Allthough not published, she is an example, what's possible with V4)
I usually liked to have a lot of morphes coming with a figure, but those should not block the figures development and lead into stagnation and a run of the mill repeating of all the same character sets.
But this is only my thought: I know a lot of users just like to click and render and that's it. But I think, it doesn't need a PoserPro2014, just to put a Pixi on a mushroom in front of a DAZ environment magic forrest.
So sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this, but there has been asked that question, and someone else liked it to be answered.
