"I will note, to the topic of this thread, that I stopped using V4, in general use and renders about 3 to 3.5 years ago. These days I use her to set up morph transfers using GenX2 and for texture transfers to Genesis 2 Female and nothing more. Bend quality, even with addon "fixers," and clothing quality, just isn't, generally, up to the quality I have become accustomed to working with.

In my opinion, great for her day, yes. Compared to Genesis/Genesis 2/Genesis 3, no."

I recently Dumped  V4/M4 As primary Characters as well

in favor of G2 now that I have a clean pipeline to get  fully textured&animated G2 figures over to Maxon C4D for animation  projects via OBJ+MDD out from Daz

I will still use V4/M4 as well as the poser 6 natives (jessie& james), for some animations depending on what the clients needs are.

On the thread topic I will Add this to Why I used V4 For so long( and now her natural Genesis successors)

As far as I can tell All of the afformentioned Third party poser figures (and their rare token, after thought ,Male counter parts,)

Were based largely on someones Idealized,Fantasy notion of thin/fit caucasian/nordic/European breeds

I use My 3D character programs for$$paid$$ Client work both still illustrate& animated.

V4 with the Morph ++ along with the great free body morphs from "Die Trying",Was the first Figure to allow the creation of realistic

"normal" and Overweight & Obese characters for 

"Stages of life "medical Illustrations and the like

.

And Genesis is even better particularly with its HD Cellulite morphs.

not mention decent looking Aging morphs

Yes I am sure there were some "ethnic skin" packages for Dawn or whomever.

But show me renders of an overweight dawn,Rex or roxy that looks realistic.

Some of us need figures that offer versatility that is far removed from these Eurocentric skinny white girls that  those other figure largely represent.

V4 , and her genesis successors  offer such versatility.
