IMO that solely depend on her intended use:

If she's meant to be "just" a freebie vanity project, then she only has to please her creator and everything else is just a bonus.

I always say, if I share something and at least one other person enjoys my stuff, then everything's OK.

But if she would have been intentionally created (or choosen) as "THE FACE OF POSER" , (Like what Vicky/G8 is to Studio), then the expectations would be of course (rightfully) a lot higher.

(And THAT is why I get so riled up over La Femme's shortcomings. If she'd just stayed any other freebie, I wouldn't have said a peep. But as long as people peddle her as exemplary for what Poser is capeable of, I feel oblidged to say, No, Poser can do a lot better than that.)

But of course, it is always nice if your own creations are also liked by others, and if you want that, then "generic beauty" is usually king.

Lots of pre-made morphs are of course also great. (That's exactly why I chose the DAZ Gen3 figures as my "base". And why I prefer edgeloops. It is much easier for the "Average Joe" to spin a dial than to create your own HD morphs)

ANYWAY...

Here's a cute "button nose" variation of my teen morph:

This is of course just "eyeballing" it, trying not to loose the "Antonia-ness" completely.

Speaking of morphs, to get that expression I had to dial some of here expression morphs to negative values.

Unfortunately negative values are all set to 0 by default. (Probably to keep users from getting confused)

Still, it would be helpfull in future iterations to at least allow some negative values)

WOULD HAVE LOVED TEEN VERSIONS FOR ANTONIA WHEN FIRST WORKED WITH HER. WAS ALSO FRUSTRATING IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET MORPHS FOR V4 TO GET HER CLOSER TO YOUNGER TEEN/PRETEEN PROPORTIONS WHEN SHE FIRST CAME OUT. THOUGH FINALLY DID TOOK COMMUNITY WHAT SEEMED FOREVER TO RELEASE MORPHS FOR HER TO DO THAT. HAD TO GO BACK TO DAZ PT FIGURES WHICH WERE NOT AS WELL MADE AND WHOSE MORPHS AND SKINS WERE NOT AS GOOD AS V4...FOR MY NEEDS ANYWAY. SO PRETEEN/TEEN MORPHS FOR ANTONIA IN THIS RE-DEVELOPEMENT OF HER WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION.
