The name techically is immaterial but like a family name it may help to get the category. The Mikis are a line of SE Asian figures. Terai Yuki was a (short) line of toon figures. Choice of a name is a marketing consideration. Re-using a name could lead to confusion, but can also help recognition.

The key problem in this poserverse, diversity, is also its strength. Had the figure specification been clear and fixed: rig topology, mesh topology and UV mapping shall be as for P4 female or Poser refuses to load it, then any possible change could have been accomplished by a morph, a pose, and a material file. I wonder whether the fold would still have existed though.

Problem we have is that every developer of a new figure wants to stand out and makes his own rigging hierarchy, his own uv mapping, and so on, makes his own set of proprietary morphs, with self-invented names, wields intellectual property rights over all of this, and then wonders why so few people are using their figure. Sure control chips and facial rigging are still a bit new technology and experience grows with time. UV mapping has been there since the Poser1 figure however, so I fail to understand why that has not yet converged. What was the big flaw in the UV layout of Pauline that made the makers of La Femme choose a different one? Paul/Pauline were free to use. There were no copyright issues on the UV layout. There were good skins around for Pauline so WHY was there a new UV layout that required starting all over again?

So, most important now: STANDARDISATION!!!

• Single rig topology,

• Single mesh topology (or if must one specific for each gender)

• Single UV mapping

• Standard set of body morphs (the ones affecting clothing fit).
