@primorge: I agree with most of your points:
- Lips can best be done via maps and/or (in Superfly) layers.
- There are issues with higher priority than full modeled/operational genitalia. For those who make work outside the more prudish clauses of the Rendo TOS there is PE One X and add-ons to other figures.- The most 'exotic' in Antonia's rigging is that the hip is a child of the waist ('hip2') and not the usual other way round . Also the zero pose of the arms is a bit un-orthodox. These two factors limit the exchange with other figures. Of course if you change these in Antonia2, it really breaks the compatibility with the earlier versions.
Not a priority. Simply a curious omission on an indy open source figure from a progressive content creator. Very few use PE One X to make Poser P*rn besides, near as I can tell Genesis and DS has that market sinched judging from my observations at the other R site.
Anatomical correctness would also be good reason, particularly coming from an artist (ODF) who obviously appreciates nude pin up style renders. If you're going to do something why not do it to it's fullest from the inception, I can only see that options would be an advantage to the figure. Plus, with the method I described above in my original post, I'm not seeing how it would inhibit or handicap any other feature of the figure... Or even really bring it into some puritanical realm of "prurience"... and the additional modeling is really negligible, and I know this from experience.
Anyway, was just a suggestion, It's ODF's time commitment after all... if thats what you're suggesting with 'higher priority', priorities which are actually only really known by ODF himself.
In the end does ODF really want to spend the, potentially, next couple/few years redesigning Antonia? Especially considering that he worked a long time on the original Antonia mesh before even revealing it to the Poser community. And here we are a decade on now. From my personal perspective a redesigned Antonia would be great, but the original figure is freely redesignable by anyone who chooses to do so. I've changed a few things on her myself and eventually plan on doing more. This hobby is slow going when full time work is a factor, there's many ideas, and frankly we're getting on in years, the effects of which probably many of us are starting to feel, ODF included.
