Why would you want them to make the same errors as the last team did? If I have a model Roxie, Pauline or La Femme anyone of them is a good model and Poser can bend them fairly well and they perform as expected. The biggest issue is putting the color (skin) on them. The biggest part of new characters is the makeups (there is also shape changes). So why just as you start to build up a collection of content for a figure you dump it and start over. The problem is not that Poser figures are bad its that they never stay the same long enough to be useful.
I never understood why the old team would put out a new figure with each release of Poser. I get that they wanted to show off the new features such as scaling bending etc. however they could have used the last figure put the new rigging in and called it Roxie 2.0 instead of Pauline. And all the time spent on making a new mesh could have been spent making a Morph of Roxie to make her look like Pauline. That is one of the things that made no sense from a software company that reuses old code modify it a bit and put out a new product, except when it came to figures at which point they said build something new from scratch and do it in 4 weeks.
The best thing Renderosity could do is make it clear they have ONE flagship figure and that it will be around for sometime so they can build up content. When the next version of Poser comes out and they need to make changes to the Flagship have the program be able to transfer the changes into the content easily.
I never said I wanted them to make the same errors as the last team. That would be insane! I haven't used Pauline or La Femme, to be honest. I've stuck with Dawn. And to be perfectly honest, I wasn't disappointed with Roxie. I know she wasn't everyone's cup of tea, and she could have bent better, but I liked her.
It's rather obvious you don't like La Femme. Be nice if you could point out some reasons why instead of making everyone guess what you don't like. And we already have a growing amount of content for La Femme. Maybe La Femme 2.0 could address some of those problems.
The only thing you said that I do agree with is that Poser, for some reason, and with the apparent exception of Miki 1, 2, 3, and 4 could never seem to go past one update to a figure before making a brand spanking new one.
