Since it has come to call, perhaps I should explain why I like posette. 1) My view on art. I'm a big fan of creating insta-art, meaning that as soon as I've cognized the idea, I want to create the image and move on to a new idea. Often times the initial idea will go through three or four different stages of growth and change. But in order to realize that growth, I need the machine to move as quickly as I do. Thus, on my crappy p500/64 meg ram machine, posette allows me flexibility. Even if I can't adjust every single little part of her earlobe, she does fine by me. 2) I refuse to suffer for my art. Who am I really trying to please other than myself? By this logic, I've found that I don't need to spend hours working on a render in order to be happy. Often, I don't even bother postworking what I make. If her arm's funky looking, I just leave it at that. I'd done what I set out to do... 3) I rarely morph a character at all, let alone enough to need the precision of vicky or steph... A lot of what I do relies on clothing, hair, props, lighting and texturing in order to create different characters. Very contextual. Despite the fact that I use the same damn posette every time (I love Gabrielle...She's my weapon of choice,) most people would be hard pressed to recognize her from picture to picture. Thus, the magic of hair and clothing is evident. This is also why I need access to Vicki's catalogue of clothing...I've made her stuff fit posette many times, but it never quite suits me... All this isn't to say that the milennium people aren't incredible...They are...They just aren't for me...
