I still don't get it. But I'm on the bottom of the bell curve around here so hopefully you brainiacs can use small words to explain it to me. I'm staring at about $2000 worth of Vicki clothes and textures and pose files I've got on about ten CD's which came from either DAZ or Renderosity. What I'm hearing is that most of those clothes won't work without major tweaking and that I have to manually UV map all my textures. What about the pose files? Now I can hear some grumbling already: "well it's just a bit of tweaking Fin, quit yer moaning and sacrifice a little time." Sure, when I was making gallery pics one at a time it was kinda fun to spend a couple days on one specific pic, tweaking this, trying out new ideas. But now I'm starting to do comix and having to fly through multiple renders in a short time. I don't want to screw around refitting all the clothes and remapping every texture. V3 cr2 to V2 cr2 - what's the point if it's just head morph transfering? And if I dump another butt load of money into Vicki3 items in 2003 will I then have to do the same in 2004 when Vicki4 comes out with similar issues? Vicki3 is fantastic! DAZ has created another great model! But do I need the new Cadillac when my '67 Shelby Mustang's running fine? What am I missing folks? Sell me, because so far I'm not convinced. Why should I make the investment when I already have a closet full of toys?
