Anna v.3 is breaking all the rules. With a revolutionary twist of application, this figure can now 'grow' through an entire teenaged age range, remaining posed or animated the entire time. Twist the dial, dial an age. With the ability to accept V3, SF and SP textures and injection morphs, and to slide easily into most V3, SF and SP poses (and most other Mil Poses), Anna v.3 will delight you and inspire you. Built off of the DAZ Unimesh, this product's geometry comes in the form of RTE difference files which contain only the derivations and not the original unimesh, and as a result requires DAZ's Victoria 3 figure to already be owned by the user. However, once generated the figure and catsuit geometry are a standalone mesh all their own with their own custom CR2 and support files, injection poses, and so on. This approach allows XFX3d/Dodger (creator of She-Freak and Puck) and PoserPros to bring you high-quality Mil3-mesh-based figures in the form of what essentially amounts to a simple kit, making your existing V3 purchase even more valuable to you! To decode the files you need RTEncode, the PC version of RTEncoder can be found here: http://www.poserpros.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2822 The Mac/Java alpha version of RTEncoder is available at: http://www.geocities.com/RTEJava/alpha/index.html Required Products: Victoria 3 Sr1.01 from Daz3D - this update can be found on V3's main store page over at Daz3D V3 morphs (to change Anna's appearance) V3 catsuit from Daz3Dpdxjims posted Wed, 26 May 2004 at 9:59 AM

I have been seriously looking at these but what about fitting clothes for them?

She looks great. I definitely have my eye on her.

I'm interested as well, but the promo pictures don't do much to help anyone to make a decision. How about some better full body shots (same applies to all the figures). Wireframe is fine, if it's an age thing....but to buy a morph that you can't see details about just how it looks.... Also, the ads say it's easy to clothe them, but the picture above shows straps floating an inch or so above the collar. I'd like to see an explaination about what process is required, and some better examples (there are some at PP, but they aren't very good at showing you how well the fit really is). Also, if it really is easy to adjust clothes to fit and pose properly, I'd suggest to dodger to pick those old V2 M2 figures and do the same thing (especially the low res guys) Mil3 figures are hard on P5, which makes them less desirable figures for some of us. Please post any portraits you've done...dodger's are nice, but don't help in selling his products:) eric

can you do a render next to an "adult" sized vicky (it can be an older vicky or even mike or steph) Just so we can see proportions (leg and waist lengths, height, etc) Also, do you always get the face to change, or is that possible to leave the same (except for sizing)? eric

HI Eric. Thanks for the pics :) Besides the bodysuit, have you tried to clothe her?

so, let me see if I've got this straight because no one seems to want to answer... the only outfit that will fit her is the catsuit. all clothing must be made from that?
d-larsen posted Thu, 27 May 2004 at 8:03 PM
No, Anna is derived from Victoria 3 mesh. All the morphs for Vicki seem to be working for me on her. Just some INJection files do weird things if you are applying a different character morph from another character package. Most of Vicki's clothes that I have tried(conforming clothes) seem to work as well as on Vicki having to make a few adjustments here and there just like with Vicki. Smae thing goes for Seth, the teenage boy, except he's based on Michael 3. The clothes you get with Seth or Anna when you buy the base mesh are based upon the Cat Suits. So, if you want to use all the clothes that come with them you must have the Michael Cat Suit for Seth or the Vicki Ultra Cat Suit for Anna. They also give you the ability to make your own clothes for the characters based on the Cat Suits through some additional materials and MAT's included with the package. You can download the Readme file at the website. Hope that clears up the confusion a little?

Texture is Kandace Wright's "Shamina" and the hair is DW's "Handmaiden" hair. All morphs used are V3 morphs, although she also takes SP morphs (those might be better for morphing her breasts, which are naturally smaller than V3's).

to Dodger. He's looking at it now.
pdxjims posted Mon, 07 June 2004 at 12:19 PM
From Dodger: "It's a proportion ratio thing. Impossible to keep all the joints perfect through the growth. I kept it as minimal as was possible. Problem is really that Vicky's thighs are disproportionally and unnaturally long. For Anna, who is proportionally correct, to grow into her, the thigh/shin length ratio shifts which slightly offsets the location of the knee joint. It's also intended to create a 'halfway down' younger morph injection for V3 and M3 and that's in the works. It will be a freebie to any purchasers of the appropriate figures. At that point the morph will never practically be needed at over .5."

So he is fixing it so that you still use one dial, or you have to morph it with another dial as she grows? If it's one dial I'll keep her, but if you have to use more than one, and he knew that, I want a refund. There is no excuse if he knew about it and still sold her with the ad stating you only need the one dial. Marque
pdxjims posted Tue, 08 June 2004 at 8:57 AM
Marque, My understanding from Dodger is that a morph is being developed for V3 to take her down to about halfway to Anna's default, approaching the problem from the other side. I don't believe this is a fix for Anna herself. I'll try to get a clarification from him on it. Jim
Marque posted Tue, 08 June 2004 at 9:12 AM
Thank you, was pretty upset with these knees, and more upset that he knew about it and didn't mention it in the ad. I read that you could use the dial all the way up to make her grow. Maybe I read it wrong? Marque
pdxjims posted Tue, 08 June 2004 at 9:21 AM
You read it right, but there was more about the joints at the high end (I think). I've asked him to reiew the blurb. Anna and all the Aeon growing characters are new territory. No one has done human figures that grow like this before. Between the limitations of Poser, and the new methods themselves, some problems are bound to arise. Most of the time, the funky knees at a high value can be easily fixed with a little adjustment, but it does take more than one dial for the fix. The V3 morph should take care of the upper range problem in renders though. I know he's working on it now.
Marque posted Tue, 08 June 2004 at 9:36 AM
Right and I understand the limitations, but I just read the readme and I didn't see anything in there about the knees. Maybe I need to read it again. The reason I bought the item was because of the one dial mentioned. I can grow her myself using more than one dial. Sorry, but I am not happy with this one. There is no way to make her grow in an animation using the one dial as stated in the ad. I was planning on having her wear shorts through most of it. I would appreciate it if he could show me in the readme where he mentioned it as I have read it twice now and can't find any mention. Marque

Appreciate your help on the pdxjims. Marque

My only requests is some breast morphs to take V3 breasts down to Anna's size (or even Mary's) and for SOMEONE to explain Bodyhandle creation so I could convert a few other things over to her.
