I know that to some of you this would probably sound like a dumb request, but.... I was interested in seeing how that Michael and Victoria differ body part wise from their P4 standard counterparts. I would be interested in seeing how the mesh is divided up. Main reason is that I had thought about taking the P4 standard figures and reworking them so that they had better posablility. I know most of you are probably saying "Why?" Answer: not all of us can afford to fork out $120 for the figures. So if anybody can help me out (using pics, was in no way asking for anybody to send any meshes my way), just drop me a line at dthoward64@hotmail.com. Thanks! Dave

One difference is that the collar extends down into the chest. But that's about all I've noticed, other than the higher poly count. Melanie

Someone already beat ya to it Dave ;-) The figure is called EVE. She is free and downloadable somewhere. And was used as the prototype for Zygote's new figures. ScottA

Sorry but was more interested in doing a MALE version which has not been done. The zygote templates would help, but in some areas I wouldnt be able to tell where the body parts actually broke off from one another. Dave

I think Michael is cut up the same way as Vickie, l & r collars extend into what is the chest area on the Posette, almost to the center, chest is a narrow strip widening at the bottom to meet the abdomen, and at the top to meet the neck. There is also an upper neck above the neck, and there are l & r buttocks between the hips and the thighs. I haven't done much with Michael yet, but I'm absolutly sure that is how Vickie differes from the Posette. I gather (never used her) Eve is cut up similar to Vickie.

I dont think there would be any harm. After all the seam guides have been posted for Vicky, so why cant the "cuts" for Michael be posted? Anyone who has Michael and is willing to help me with the cuts, please drop me an email, or an instant message or something. Dave dthoward64@hotmail.com P.S. Any help greatly appreciated!
