Hi Folks! I've been composing custom-made genitals on my Poser figures since version 2, thru props or Photoshop-generated enhancements. One of the great things about this software is that everyone can be a Pygmalion--and there are as many ways to build a Galatea as you have time and morphs to play with. (If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, go find those books on Greek mythology you haven't touched since junior high school.) Over many years of being a disk jockey and a serious record collector, I've acquired around ten different versions of "Up On The Roof." The only two worth listening to are the versions by The Drifters and Carole King, who wrote the song (yeah, I omitted JT's sappy rendition). But I keep all versions because I appreciate the possibility that one night, someone is gonna request one of those versions that I don't like--and I win a fan for life if I have it. I believe the greatest value to be found from Vicki and future Zygote characters is not in what they are, but in what they can be--and we in forums like this determine that by the extent to which we remake them according to our tastes. Vicki's physique pales in comparison to her posette siblings, but because of it she can assume a broader range of identities and body types than they can. Surely in the Poser universe there is a place for both Ethel Mertz and Laura Petrie. Maybe in place of free objects, Zygote can upload "service packs" a la MS that provide a regular stream of props and morphs to make our Vickies beautiful in each of our own eyes. Peter (Dr Zik)
