Having spent some time with the new figure I fine her a curious mixture of 'accuracy' and a body shape that would not past muster in an art school anatomy class. She certainly could not replace V4 who for all her flaws can be made to look like a real person. Enough different real people to populate a graphic novel. If that was not the purpose, so be it. But then I find it hard to see what everyone is so excited about. What kind of art is she actually good for? And by the way, accurate does not have to be average. Why not a base figure who is an anatomically accurate tall, slender female?

V4 has 12 years of upgrades and add-ons. LaFemme is brand new. It's going to be awhile before she has all the characters, clothes, morphs, etc. that V4 has.

As for what kind of art she's good for...she's Poser's new base figure. Theoretically, she's good for any kind of art Poser is good for. Though currently, most of the clothing and characters available for her are contemporary. I lean more to SF and fantasy myself, so my LF is currently wearing a lot of Dawn's and V4's clothing.

I'm excited about her because I want a figure that uses Poser's newer features. I like V4 and still use her sometimes, but she's really old technology now. She often looks stiff and awkward when posed, and her face is not terribly expressive. She has that "Poser" look - like a doll, as one of my non-Poser-using friends put it. LaFemme poses more naturally, and I love how expressive her face is.

I don't particularly want a tall, thin female. I want a figure that can be morphed to be a variety of figures, accurate and not.
