@Clarkie - Still don't like the idea of having a single mesh for both sexes. It's not only stupid from a commercial point of view, it's actually completely pointless. I also hate it when figures have gens separated from the main mesh. This is something I was especially pleased to read; that Shane had addressed it the way it always should have been addressed, by having separate male and female meshes, each with a built-in gen that can be morphed away into a form when not required.

If I were a figure developer, that's the way I would go about it too, it's the perfect solution because it means no more grafting, no more texture misalignment, no more effort other than to spin a dial. It's perfect, and is the way all figures should have handled their gens right from the very start IMHO.

I never understood why this was never so!

Oh, come on. It's not that hard to figure out. Oh, that's right, you're in the UK. Well, twenty to thirty years ago, the internet was a lot more prudish than it is now. Most companies that sold figures like Daz and Poser went the family -friendly route because there was less hassle. Places like Renderotica, though they've been around now for awhile, weren't here thirty years ago.
