Thanks for the kind words, but I feel like I just kicked a puppy.
I have not doubt that they meant well, but reality is what it is.
It took me a while to come to terms with the fact that really no non-DAZ mesh past and present has enough potential (I.e. a good enough mesh topology) to go against the Vickies.
I wasted a lot of time "fixing" and "customizing" native Poser meshes myself, but in the end it was just that:
A waste of my time. Years of hard work down the drain because the foundation was simply not good enough
So instead of repairing what was broken I rather decided perfecting what was already good.
And I never regretted that decision.
And that's why I wanted to spare others the wasted time and dissapointment and tried my best to nip projects like Antonia or V4WM already in the bud before hopes would get too high and expectations way too unrealistic.
Poser still has the potential to be great again.
But it will take real sh*tloads of money and real professional skills and not some well meant community project.
But as I said: Feels like kicking a puppy and I really don't want to do that anymore.
