So sad... My condolences to her family and friends. She was (and will remain for me) a great and wonderful artist.

Personally, I'm using more the third generation DAZ figures than the fourth or the fifth. Unfortunately there is almost no clothing or expressions for the 3rd generation. So I was really excited and happy when Gen X came out. Now I can use my David3/M3/V3 on Genesis and put some decent expressions on them (not Genesis expressions, they are unnatural and AWFUL!!! I rather buy V4 expressions and use Gen X to transfer them on iconic David shapes). It's not perfect but better that than no expression at all for my David. I will never stop using David, even if there is no items for him. I like David so much, so I think I would have learnt myself to make cloth for him than never use him :). That's why I think Genesis is great. The iconic shapes of Genesis are absolutely fantastic...and without them I would never use DAZ. With Gen X, my David character is alive again!!! Clothing items for 4rth gen are great and I can clothe my David character with them. The Autofit of DAZ is so amazing! It's fast (really fast) and works pretty well. It still needs some work on shoes and long capes but the other programs (like Wardrobe, Clothconverter, Crossdresser...) have also problems with these kind of outfit.

The fact is that I buy V4 items for use on my 3rd generation people. I don't use V4 so much and I never use Genesis as it (without converting to iconic shapes). Why? Because I'm making some comics and it's really important for me to have my original characters. I can't suddenly use a new figure, just because it's bending better. I have to use the same characters I used from the beginning. Then if DAZ makes a new figure who allows me to use my original characters that's great! But if I can't use my character, it's pointless for me to use DAZ and I have to use Poser. That's why I'm a Poser user. I never really tried to use DAZ until this year. Personally, I am more familiar and prefer the Poser interface. So I think I would continue to use Poser if I could use all the great hair, expressions, textures, clothing, poses for M4/V4 on my 3rd generation people. The body of the figure is less important for me (I don't make nudes) but the facial morphs are really important. I can't make a new "David character" or use M4/M5 unstead of David3. It has to be the same character, the same David I used from the beginning, with the same texture (a person in real life can't just change skin texture or facial morphs). Of course I can use M4 or M5 (and I do that) to make other people and they look great! But they can never replace my original David character.

Forget my english :)

Thank you very much. The idea is excellent. I encountered the memory problem on importing several Poser figures in Vue. Could you make more metapeeps? Could you make a Vue6 version too? For now I can't use V7I because of the Poser import problems, so I'm still using Vue6I. If you don't make them for free, I definitely would buy them :)

/Lyone.

I also have problems with Poser import (even with the latest update). I'm not using any Poser shader and I use Poser7 (not the Pro version). Vue7 is also considerably slower on opening a scene which opens normally in Vue6I. And a lot of time Vue7 crashes when opening a Vue6I scene including a Poser scene or when importing a Poser scene from P7. I sent a new ticket to e-on. I really LOVE Vue si I hope they will fix the Poser import.

Please show me yours!!!!!
(In community forums I made a request for separate gallery for male portraits and pinups)

Cool idea. I can also help. I will post some pictures. It's a good idea with a gallery with male portraits and pinups like the one at D.Z. Well I have to make my profile better here at  Renderosity....and put some pictures in my...hum....empty gallery....

In fact I can turn the situation in a positive way and thank the merchants for making stuff for female figures....because I'm saving my money!!! COOL!

There is a forum at DAZ for people who wants more male stuff " The year of MAN! Determine to buy ONLY male contens"  created by Mercedesk. Well the title of this forum says a lot. I began to buy only the products I wanted...well why?... because it's my money that I get while working hard....I want to put this money on what I want (not what other people want even if it's the majority...always easiest to follow the majority...). What I really want is male items and figures....a lot of them.... So I decided to keep my money...and I don't buy anymore any female products unless of course I have some use of them in my male figures. There is actually some clothing or hair stuff which is really great for both male and female. Well with all the female stuff out there you can imagine how much money I save each month...COOL! Now I can wait for the great moment when new male stuff is coming....GREAT!!!

Personally I have V3 and SP3 but I only use V3. I'm happy with her and don't need another female figure. I have more male figures (M1, M2, M3, D3, H3, the G2 males, Apollo) but it's not enough for me. I really like to render males so I'm happy with any new male figure who is coming. Phantom 3D your character looks amazing. He bends beautifully and I like all your genitals morphs. The face looks a litle asian for me but maybe there will be many morphs for his face as you mentioned it yourself...COOL!
Thank you so much for making him. I will definitely buy him.

Quote - > Quote - In fact I like him. He looks like ½ M3 and ½ D3 for me and I think it's great...well...for me.

At Artzone there is a new forum (Club M4)...This forum is for people (like me) who are especially interested in Male figures (M4 for now) and want to give their opinions and suggestions for M4.

Link? :)

Quote - Ya'll have so much money to burn instead of throwing it away into a new male model that will just eventually flop why not support what is already available or make what is available better.

I don't render females...Sorry but I like men much more so I will fight for having more males, and absolutely not for making the female products better. I won't buy them anyway. I didn't buy and don't intend to buy Aiko4.- Apollo is a great product but I prefer M3 or D3 because they are more convenient to use and morph...for me...of course. It's a question of taste I guess...

Quote - Two men is always better than one???

I absolutely AGREE WITH YOU :)

In fact I like him. He looks like ½ M3 and ½ D3 for me and I think it's great...well...for me.

I agree with you Vincebagna! I'm very disappointed now . A V4 who is not working and an Aiko 4 that I probably will never use (I don't even use Aiko 3). I use a lot of D3 and M3 and there is not enough products for them. I'm actually buying clothes or hair only if I can use them on male figures. Unfortunately we don't hear or see anything about M4 or D4. There is too much female figures in the market...I'm happy with my Victoria 3 and don't need more female figures....but I think it's a question of taste! Personally I'm waiting for M4 and D4 because they are the ones I use most.

By the way your product is fantastic. Thank you for making it and please please make more products for the male figures...

Best regards.

Thank you very much. 

Can we see some render with David? He is the one I use most. Thank you.
