BTW, I used ZBrush many, many years ago when it was new and the UI still made sense. I also used tons of magnets, (Some of my early sculpts literally used hundreds of them)

But since the morphbrush started to work across groups and the smoothing brush became stable, I exclusively use that to create my sculpts.

Just had a look at Femme Fatale.

Nice sculpting work, as usual. A little too over the top, for my taste, but he is definitely one of the most talented Poser artists.

Still, he needed to subdivide her mesh TWICE to get that much detail out of her body.

If her mesh had proper muscular edgeloops, he could have achieved the same level of detail with a fraction of the polygons necessary. This would have made her a lot less resource hungry and better suitable for "lesser" machines.

This is not his fault. But shows the problems of a mesh with poor mesh design.

Finally, while he created some amazing morphs, it looks like he didn't address any of her rigging problems.

So, sorry, she looks cute but is still not someting I could use.

I rather prefer his NIA (based on the PT-Girl) and his Irina (based on SP3).

(Hmm, I have a weightmapped version of the PT-Girl. I think I should try that out with his NIA morph)

What can I say, I'm an old fashioned guy.
