Great points, primorge! All duly noted and agreed with. Going through in order of expected effort...

- Joint limits: I think past me was no fan, but present me may have changed their mind. ;-) Going through the rig and setting reasonable limits would probably be easy enough. But since I'm planning to go through the joints by and by, anyway, to check the settings and possibly add WMs and/or remove JCMs, I might just procrastinate a bit and defer the limit setting to when I redo the joint in question (starting of course with the jaw).

- Her wonky eyes: Yes, I turn the eye subdivision off for my renders, and it annoys me that I have to do that. I think a quick fix would just be a matter of turning off the hard edges, and possibly moving a few vertices around. I'll give that a try and if I don't run into any serious issues, include the fix in 1.3. New eyes would be better, but don't feel super-urgent to me at the moment. If it's easy to swap them out in the base geometry without impacting existing non-subdivision morphs, I'll do that. As for the axis orientation: yep, completely agreed. Will fix and instead add a dial for turning them outward a bit in the interest of added realism.

- The infamous breast poles: I know exactly what you mean. Morphing her breasts is a pain. The big question is: do I care about existing morphs to work out of the box in the next version, or am I happy to break them. Since Poser can now transfer morphs between different geometries, I'm tending towards the latter. Just change the topology and leave the shape as close as possible to the existing one. The thing is, I'd rather wait a bit and do one big change at a time, so maybe new breast topology in Antonia 1.3.1?

- Separate teeth: Probably also not something I'd like to pack into the next release, but I hear you.

-- I'm not mad at you, just Westphalian.
