This week Daz is giving away free Vic maps...and they are announcing a new Victoria.

Ok. Where did you hear about a new version of Victoria?

Top of Daz home page...look for the button.

Low-resolution versions of Victoria ... interesting. Should prove beneficial for animation. And for those of us with lesser computer systems. Am I reading that right? Victoria 1.0 Reduced Resolution will be free?

Dang file cache!! It showed up after a refresh! :) Thanks!!

From the news page: Coming soon: The new Victoria 2.0 Reduced Resolution Figure 40% off ($11.97)- Reg. Price ($19.95)

This is great news for animators especially for scenes with large numbers of characters.

Looks like all those people that come here looking for a free Victoria will get their wish... I hope they do one for mike, too.

oops forgot to mention, it's 100% posette mesh & to thank thip for fixing her hands.

One more occasion to say a big "Thank you Daz3D" :) This low res Victoria will be very usefuf :) J-L

At last! I've been banging on about this for ages. Let's see if it's good enough to outshine Eve in the animation department......

Daz rules!!!

but i am curious as what problems animators are
having with the current hi res vicky??
I put her in "Box tracking mode"
and go into the graph editor and bring her to life no problems.
besides i do all my final animations in the powerful raytracer of cinema (using poser for previsualization
only)

Ive found the Lower res models look poorly under the scrutiny of a raytracer in closeups
but they render very fast in action shots :-)

Anyone else care to speculate that this will be the figure that comes with Poser5 ??? Thus making the millions of gigabytes of Posette stuff out there obsolete, of course.....

A low resolution Vickie, gee, I wonder where they got that idea? ;-)

The full Comming Soon text from the page... Coming soon: The new Victoria 2.0 Reduced Resolution Figure 40% off ($11.97)- Reg. Price ($19.95) Features: *All that the Victoria 1.0 Reduced Resolution Figure has *All of the morphs that Victoria 2.0 has. *Plus an additional figure that can wear the accessories of the Poser 4 female The Posette stuff will still work with this model.

Wolf, that's just it! Having to rely on box tracking mode reduces accuracy. It's fine for single figures but any kind of interaction between figures I find requires real time animation. In short it speeds things up....

I see your point
now that i think of it a low res vicky might
be more render friendly wearing one of my multistrand wigs.

Though I think just getting LRV may be the simplest solution, I wonder whether Posette could be made much more like Vicky with the Tailor? I don't own the Tailor (yet), bit maybe someone who does could offer an informed opinion. It might work, though perhaps the difference in how the body parts are split up on the 2 figures might be problematic...

Wolf, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your hair, it's really impressive....
