What is it for?
My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice!

I haven't used it yet, but I assumed it was to save me from having to make everything white like we used to do to Vicki and Posette, before we applied textures to them......??

I read in a previous post the V3 blank figure is for meant for creating poses only.

It is sort of the low-res for Vicky 3. It is a smaller file, but you can not inject any Morphs into it. Sort of like a stand in, or that is how I understand it.

please ignore the first "for" in my last post :)

Hmmm, well it seems like you can just create poses with the regular V3. As for being an all white Vicki, wouldn't that be a Mat pose file? It just seems like a waste of space to me and that's why I was asking...so I could delete it if there were no reason for it. :-)

I think she's for developers, mainly. No morph channels - so she's ideal for creating poses (poses saved with morph channels are a nightmare!). No DAZ-owned morphs, so she can be used to distribute custom made morphs to others. Quick to load, because there's nothing cluttering up the CR2, which is useful for people using V3, but not for renders (eg creating clothing, hair etc.) and so on...

It's purpose? It is intended as a developer tool. It is there for a couple reasons. One being that it doesn't contain any of the channels for injection, and the only morphs that are stored in the cr2 are the JCMs... which are activated remotely and automatically. That being the case, when a pose is saved (even if you mistakenly include morph targets) nothing but the appropriate channels are saved, only the channels that make the pose. Another intent is a stripped (for the most part) cr2 so developers have a version that after loading additional custom morphs (for the purpose of creating injectable add-on characters) that they don't have tons of unnecessary channels to wade through to find the channels they want (manual creation of morph injection poses). -Rob

i asumed it was for putting in morphs so you can distrubit them easily instead of haveing to dl the file this time they included it in the package

I tried using it in Tailor. It comes in ok. But I can't get Tailor to work for me in win2k like it does in ME. Was unable to make a clothing fit of the dresscoat italia.
