Hi erogenesis, do you remember me ?

we had a lengthy exchange of emails when you just  released Lali.
I was among the first to buy her.

Lali is a beautiful work, I love her.

But I must tell you ... we are waiting too long PE ...

We do not resist more !!!!

hehehe yeah I remember you. Thanks for your support all these years. Trust me if I could release her now, I would. Its time we invest in ourselves and come up with our own figure and content and wish DAZ good luck with their future endeavors. Likewise I'm going to try and invest in stores that support Poser content from now on, no sense in investing in something that might contribute to the downfall of my software of choice. I really hope Nerd3D can iron out the kinks over at Poser, and I hope he gets them to take their heads out of their asses and come with a good figure too, it would take the pressure off me. Despite this, I will try to make PE available for DS because I have too many friends that use DS. 

So about the figure, as you can imagine, making a figure is no joke, especially for someone that's never made one before lol! But what's taking so long is software bugs, which are getting worked on. Project E is such an intricate figure that it revealed some nasty bugs in both Poser and DS that hamper the making of accurate JCMs. Also, Poser's WM transfer is not up to standard. So I'm waiting until that gets improved.

In the meanwhile I continued with her development and she's more-or-less complete, but the JCMs are asymmetrical as a result of finding a workaround. Besides that I've been using her since october 2014 and I've racked up a list of improvements that I need to do before I can start on her final development phase. Improvements involve polygons that are not placed nicely,  too many, or too few, UV maps that need redoing, etc. 

My primary goal here is to make a figure that will last me for the next 4-6 years. Therefore you understand she needs to be perfect, and forwards compatible in as far as that is possible. I also need to keep in mind that Poser might switch to dual quaternion skinning and I'm taking to people what kind of preparations I need to make for that.
