I found Victoria easy enough to work with on even my older mac (300Mhz G3). As long as you have enough RAM and patience, you can make her work for you. The sugeestion of the reduced resolution figure is also a good one, she's almost as nice. I know there are a lot of hardcore fans of Posette out there, and I agree with them that default Posette is a lot cuter than default Victoria... but that's about where my agreement ends. I don't ever use Victoria in any default sense. I've morphed the heck out of her, and that's why I appreciate her ample poly count. There is just so much more to work with. To me, hearing the argument that Posette is a "better" figure than Vicky from people with slower computers and people who've never made morph targets is akin to listening to someone still using 256 color monitor extol the virtues of GIF over JPEG. Some guy actually flamed me on usenet once, saying I was stupid to use JPEG because it was lossy, unlike GIF. To him I replied "Knocking 16.7 million color shades down to a palette of 256 isn't lossy?!?" (we were talking in context of full-color photos) In the hands of skilled morph technicians, Vicky can do great things indeed. I would like to encourage you not to give up on her yet. Those who have truly experienced working with Vicky are not usually looking back... -Adam
