I know its kind of cool to make clothes for the latest v3 model but some of us here don't want to switch over to V3 for some extremely practical reasons, namely memory and resource issues. For example, that wonderful V2/V3 hybrid posted is a God send and I thank the makers of it. even this model, with just the expressions injected takes my original figures from around 4 megs to 13 megs. That's with custom FBMs to eliminate the dozens or so I don't use. The full V3 is around like 57 megs. The point is some of us are not ready to abandon V2 yet and I personally don't see a lot of advantages of the V3 body over V2 for about 95% of the work I do. I'd hate the clothes resources to dry up because of the novelty to make V3 clothes. I think the community kind of pushed itself forward into V2 leaving posette behind. This I could accept since V2 is such a huge jump above Posette. But I don't see the same jump for V3 over V2 and am worried V2 will be slowly abandoned. V3 creates draw backs and limitations on resources that V2 doesn't and its almost a penalty to use her for more than a single figure render. Just don't abandon use V2 users. V2 isn't dead.
