Yes, I'm still beating my Vicki's. ;] Ko... I've never been a big Victoria fan, and I've made little secret of it. Further, in my very infrequent postings in this forum, I've often been critical of "the big guys" - CL and Daz - for generally what I've considered good reasons. So, off the bat, I'm generally not a mouthpeice for Daz's greatness. ;] That said... I've been reading avidly every thread and browsing every image posting I can find pertaining to Stephanie, and I'm pretty excited about this one. Shoulda been done long ago - like in the Posette/Dork days. ;] Think about it: Stephanie can use Mike textures with minor tweaking, as evidenced by the image postings up above. Probably the inverse will be true. And she can wear Vicki clothes... Suddenly it's going to be possible to have a few female character possibilties that didn't exist before. Like a female version wearing the excellent Quim Zulu texture for and extremely black female - a thing we hadn't had before. Might take a bit of cloning in photoshop to match the templates... no makey. Morph makers: Suddenly male/female "twin" characters become possible. The same morphs can be done with minor tweaks to give them a feminine and masculine cast - as opposed to having to virtualy design and duplicate the same morph from scratch on two different meshes. Textures can be designed in male/female versions with only minor tweaking... And she can use Mike morphs and vice versa... ringing us to possibilities for: Character Creation: Heh - if she can really wear most Mike morphs with only minor distortions as has been claimed... the Massive Mike, Muscular Mike, and Boris morphs should work with varying amounts of success, in addition to the built-ins on Mike 2/Steph. Think about this from a designer of Super Heroic characters perspective - a toned Vicki 2 with the vicki musclular morph doesn't do the job when you're trying to do a She Hulk character image. Or one of any number of "cut" looking comics babes. Trust me - I've tried. Stephanie could do it, no problems. The resulting character might even be able to use a few clothing items designed for the massive men... This sounds pretty cool to me. I like versatility and interchangeabilty in a character platform.
