@shvrdavid:

Almost all my rigging work is public. Feel free to "cut it apart".

(I just ask you don't do this out of sheer malice, but because you actually want better figures)

If you read the included ReadMe's, I actully ASK for people to modify / improve my rigs as they see fit and re-distribute them.

They can even have all the credit they want, as long as they also include my original ReadMe.

But, honestly, I don't give a rat's a** how many private little clubs you've been part of.

I don't care about all that "social" stuff.

All I care about is the final result.

So far there are three weightmapped V4's out there:

Aery Soul / As Shamin's (No official release)

Phantom3D's

My V4-17K

Guess which is the one who's butt does not explode?


Honestly, your whining and attacks get a little tiresome.

There are no parcitipation trophys in CGI.

Respect has to be earned and can't be demanded.

If you or your "secret" friends can't deliver the goods, don't complain to those who are willing to do.

If you think my criticism is harsh, try building prototypes for scale models.

Or mingle with the real CGI pros.

I'm a rank amateur, just tinkering around in Poser, trying to fill a void many people are obviously unwilling to fill.

I'd be more than happy if a real professional would come along, offering me some truly realistically sculpted and rigged Poser figures to buy, so I'd never have to touch that da*n joint editor again.

But this actually hasn't happened yet, so I think I have to keep going on.

And now you will excuse me.

I've more productive things to do than listening to you whine that none of your little toys was good enough to replace Vicky.


Yep, that's the original one.

Her mesh design is still riduluosly bad, but her sculpting and expressions are so heartbreakingly good, that I thought she'd deserved a couple of hours of my attention.

And yes, Poser dumbed her down when they released the 2.0 version of her.

And Sydnyeyey was a complete travesty.

Whoever greenlit that abomination must truly hate Poser.
