thanks for the advice, I'm trying everything discussed here, and the tutorial was very informative.

I can post a WIP to demonstrate where I am at with this project. its slowly but surely getting there.

Im a noob to poser, bout 1 year. but been 3d modeling with AutoCAD since about 2000 and Viz since about 2006, so I do know my way around software.

I do notice the level of support for DAZ figures and nearly a nonexistant market for Poser characters, EVEN inside of content paradise. I thought to myself jeez, what kind of business provides more support for a "competing model" than its own, on its own site? Vicky is ok, but honestly I should be able to get at least the same level of support for SydneyG2 on Content Paradise.

I think Poser has a lot of potential, and will be upgrading to pro 2010 in the near future. I think the hottest thing ive seen for SydneyG2 is the Jasmina morphs and ultimate headmorphs from Runtime DNA. Combined with a few tweaks in the faceroom, and some portability to Mudbox, I am pretty much entrenched in the SM Poser camp.

I would like to see more for the G2 figures, i do have victoria 4.2, and she is really versatile, but its pretty obvious that the perception of which model is "better" is really a matter of smart marketing. Daz has the edge for sure, but I like the G2 figures better.
