Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 06 11:58 am)
I always look for the natural look - the human flaws that are usually absent in the plastic hyper-fantasized 3D meshes and textures. Makeup is easy to add - A good, fresh, natural look is rare. - I'm particularly partial to freckles and tan lines that don't look like they were made from ultra-skimpy bikinis.
...extrem and of highest quality.
All the basics are covered already (I have 20+ purchased Vicky textures). But I would buy someting like japanese whole-body-tattos, warpaint, scarification, stigmata. I would prefer PSD layers so I can apply this to any Vicky tex. Quality goes without saying, I became rather sophisticated lately. ;)
I will probably buy 'Maia&Morgaine' from Blackhearted/Kiera/Rio (solely) because of the tattoo.
There are only 2 Victoria character items on my wishlist, because much is work that I can do myself, and I'm a perfectionist. :: I'd like Kiera and Blackhearted's "Stone Maidens" because they have the sweep and shape as well as the texture of classical statuary. And LisaB's "Bougereau's Beauties" because she took the time to do the morphs as well as the poses, and they look spot on recognizable and very, very feminine. I purchase quality (Hi, Phil! Hi Anton! H'lo Bloodsong!). I value time spent in getting it right. Carolly
Lately I've really been into the cyber-creature look, but I haven't bought anything because I haven't seen something that looks terribly realistic. There ARE some cool ones out there, but all the airbrushing is obvious. I like a more realistic look. Definitely in the market for something really unique and different though - like places where the nature of the skin changes around certain areas but looks like its completely natural for that 'species'. Natural markings, that sort of thing. Some examples: The veins on Seymour from Final Fantasy 10 - they looked natural to his species. Or some sort of fantasy creature where maybe in the areas where the most sunlight hits, they have beautiful green areas where they have photosynthesis. Just putting on a tatoo or tatoo-esque spots doesn't count for me.
This will probably make me sound cheap, but if an individual character/texture costs more than $10 I usually don't want anything to do with them... Looking over my Wishlist, I can only see one that costs more... For something like double packs (two characters included in one purchase) I'll go up to $20, but I'm still only paying $10 per character...
I like more than just a texture. I recently bought one of Debbie M's because it included poses, a light and tan look as well as eye makeup and different lip textures. As for something unique, I'd love to find a good Native American Indian texture for Mike and Vicki with plain and painted faces.

Between the ages of 35 and 55. The textures out there now are either young and smooth or ancient crones, there is no middle ground. Let me have some laugh lines and crow's feet. Give me a bit of dry skin here and there. I want textures with CHARACTER. Maybe a psd file with a series of layers to age a texture from 20 to 90 in increments. Middle Aged Mike is a great texture set, now let us have the same thing for Vicky, Stephanie and Posette, please. Honestly, if I were any good at it, I'd scan my own face and make the texture myself, but alas, skin textures elude my talents. sigh Kate (who really does want more characters who are past the age of 30 in her images)
I have only ever bought 2 Victoria packs, Melody by Spectre, which has several variations and was also very reasonable on price, and Vairesh's Native american pack from Daz. One of my favourites was a freebie from PWFW. I like characters that give a very definate national character, like the native american girl.

I would love to see an ultra hi-quality hi-res african american texture that rivals anything else that has yet been offered. True glowing brown skin - not just brown paint on a caucausoid figure. And, since we're being very specific I would like to have a similar texture package that offers a range of realistic dark skin. A range from Vanessa Williams mocha to Naomi Campbell dark. And MAT poses for everything. And..... :)
Something that's still on my wish list is a dark, black, african woman texture for Victoria. Something on the order of quality and tone of Quim Abella's Zulu, but female. And photoreal, not painted. There's a lot of black woman textures, but all are american black or mulattos, not the ebony, Maassai or Nigerian black. This is something I'd use consistently wher I needed a unique look for a model, or where I need a good drow female texturein a fantasy pic. Not sure that one purchaser would make it worth a texturers while to do one though....

I would love to see older Vicky textures as VirtualSite says citing Julie Newmar as a perfect example of gracing into middleages and beyond. It'd be nice to see more Native Americans both female and male in any age spectrum, so many variations and some West Indians as well....also like IronBear I'd love to see some true ebony women.
I second the votes for older (preferably with some morphs), and Black (without the orange cast some seem to have). Photorealistic, hopefully < $30. and... No pubic hair - at least as an extra variation. There are good free and commercial PH props available and it's a hassle to try and smoothly edit out the painted on hair. This is my primary gripe with most textures.

... nonhuman. There are over six billion of you on this rock, and although you may well be endlessly fascinating, I'd like a little more variety. Textures, morphs, shaders and fur patterns (for the upcoming P5) ... anything that distinguishes the character from the human norm. Victoria's animal morphs are one of the reasons I like the figure so much.
I found a partial solution for the black textures, for me anyway.... the Vicki to Steph remap in freebies. It'll let you use some of the mike only textures that have varaints you can't get otherwise.

Unique? Non-caucasian? Alien? High resolution? Part of a larger package? not-pretty? A specific theme? How do you answer the question? (be specific!) for all you know a merchant will suddenly make just what you asked for :) Just curious :) Was looking through my purchases (and hoped for purchases) and realised that the only textures I'd wishlisted/bought were things I couldn't/wouldn't make myself, and very unique. (Enigma, RDNABeachbaby, Roxanne). Models I usually intend to retexture myself(Lifeform357, Noggin's Newt, Ironhart's wagons, etc) Lyrra
