Congratulations makers!

After working with her over the weekend and putting her through a lot of unnecessary tests. La Femme is proving to be the best commercially available human figure on the market today, and I love the fact that it's a POSER model. The chip handles alone are something that do not exist in the Daz world, and that makes La Femme > G8.

I'm a long time Poser user, and not a fan of Daz Studio because of the learning curve. That means I have pretty much been stuck with V4 for over a decade. Yes, I am well aware of the problems with V4: "V4 skins don't support Superfly, and older ones don't support SSS" fixed with D3D Perfect Skin SSS Lite, "the shoulders look bad and the armpits way too high" fixed with XandM Perfect V4, "the joints look awful when you bend to extreme" fixed with products like i13_Overhaul. These third party patch fixes help out a lot, but I'm still stuck with a broken model, and all V4 render looks the same to me from the neck down.

Now that I have spent time with La Femme, I really want to make her my primary model, but of course this requires the community's help. Conforming hair works great with the V4 fit patch, V4 poses work with only some minor hand and feet adjustments, but skin textures, characters and especially conforming wardrobe are going to need some help from the community.

The community right now seems to be focused on G3/G8 for good reason (she's popular, and stuff sells), it would be nice if La Femme would get similar support.

Like if Blacksmith3D would add V4 to La Femme and Genesis 3 female to La Femme texture converters to his Texture Transformer, If 3DAge made La Femme versions of her incredible clothing library, if ali released La Femme fit patches to his hair styles, if character creators and pose library producers filled in the gaps, it would be really easy to make the transition over.

I'm hoping this comes with time. Unfortunately, the Poser community has had a lot of promising new models: GND, Dawn/Dusk, Pauline/Paul, Evo, with only limited community support. I really want La Femme to be different this time.

I have only found a few nit picks, like odd shoulders and armpits when the arms are on the side, minor issues with teeth, and a need for a hip morph to close the thigh gap, but these are fairly easy fixes. There are also going to be community lesson learning like "Essentials Pose Set for La Femme" seems to mess with the eyebrows, ruining my meticulously adjusted character face. We might have to unlearn some lessons and learn new stuff.

But I'm excited again!
