Sounds interesting.
I hope the proportions are better this time. Jessi looks like an extraterrestrial. I love Miki except for her arms. For some reason, CP figures have bizarrely long forearms. I suppose it goes with the elongated calfs you often find on leggy "glamor" figures. But unlike legs, arms really affect posing. Hands-on-hips, hand-to-shoulder, etc., poses just never look right when the forearms are that long.

Nooooooooooooooo!!! See The Runtime for my full ranting on this subject. We need to unite brothers and sisters, fight the onslaught of never ending, poorly clothed female 3d figures.Jarm, I read your rant over at the runtime.co.uk. Aside from the fact that you're absolutely right about them needing to focus on the figures they've already released, I don't see how you can possibly be so upset NOW! They made the announcement MONTHS ago that they would be releasing a new figure this year. That would have been the time to scream for better support for Miki, Jessi and Judy etcetra to change their direction.
no chance am I buying (or even downloading for free) a new female figure. But I do always like to see them come out, because they will have to come with clothes, which I can convert to fit my other characters. What I would really like to see are some better kids. All we have are the mil kids and Britta, to my knowlege, excluding babies.
again a new figure, pffffffffff. That will stay in the nude due to a shortage in clothing. They never listen, do they. Probably another zillion points, another mapping, and? must I go on? What we really need, and I read it all the time, @am I the only one?@, is ; 1 (one) decent LOWER POLY female, looking like a real female an not some superduper model with breast like balloons allmost hanging over her shoulder so high, and 1 ( one) decent male, looking like a male. Poly count somewhere between the P4Lo and Posettes figure. No, they continue to model zillion Poly things no one needs, no one dares to work on, hard on the PC's, and after waiting hours form the render, does not even look like a "real" (wo)man. Up till now, No figure, and I mean None, has properly bending legs, None has proper breasts, None has proper arms, without some decent figure work in an external 3d prog. to get a decent looking morph. Start improving the existing ones, before developping yet another one. Animaters would lover her, still makers would love her, clothing makers could love her. Lower poly means less work to make clothing, easy to adapt the figure, easy to make personal morphs = more characters, and so on, and so on, and so on. Lower poly models, with a decent texture and a displacement map, are the way to go. We have more than . . . for close-up work. Thanks for reading, just had to let go.

"Martian Jessi" Hahahahahahaheeheeheeheehooohoohooohooohahahahaha! Oh, the Prozac just kicked in. :) I do agree with you, though. Jessi is one weird looking model.
Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
Judy is as ugly as hell but at least her arms are more or less in proportion, unlike Jessi's flippers.
Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
That's old news..... I'm not in need of any new figure at all and for sure not another woman.

Who woulda seen that coming???*
Anyone who understands what sells well -- and what doesn't sell as well.
Sure: they could have decided to punch out a new male figure. And he most likely would have been received to loud applause from some. Followed by.......comparatively paltry sales figures.
shrug
It's the way things work. For all of the loud vocalizing to the contrary from some.
I'm not saying that this new CP figure will be a guaranteed success. But she has a far better chance to be a star out of the gate than he ever would.
"Revolutionary" new figure, eh? We'll see. I might just decide to buy it (her).
Hey -- in addition to the "revolutionary new figure", the CD includes:
Adult Orca Exclusive
Adult Polar Bear Exclusive
1 Outfit for Jessi Exclusive
1 Outfit for James -Exclusive
Manga Morph set for Miki Exclusive
All 65 Shade and Poser Freebies as of January 31
Sounds like they are supporting other figures to me. The only distinction being that they are putting the emphasis on the one figure that they believe will blow the doors off of the other also-rans in their collection; in terms of comparative sales figures.
I haven't noticed a big demand for adult polar bears lately......... I don't know what I would ever use an adult polar bear model for -- but it would be nice to have.
CP is supporting their figures. They had those free SF outfits for James and Jessi last fall. Passport members just got a free clothing pack for Miki. I don't think they have the manpower to make a lot of stuff, though. And they seem to be concentrating on animals (which they do quite well, I must say).
And I bet there will be a male counterpart to complement the new female figure eventually.

I agree that it's likely. And that would be a good thing all of the way around, IMO.
Ok, I recant. I would but this figure, if it were ever able to be produuced *Female with normal looking perporions *Breasts, butt, and Belly (If morphed to propper size) MOVE! Real breasts and and bodyfat moves. Vicky can be hanging upsidedown and her breasts stay in the same spot! *Joints that moved like human joints. *WAAAAAYYYY more controll over abdominal movements. I could use an extra three or four bodyparts where "abdomen" and "chest" are now. I would like to see full manipulation of spinal ability. *A Morph to make her fit the Vicky Clothes, so that I have a place to start when converthing the clothes *Morphs to look like a human being that eats. Not super anorexic. *Good Morphs to look old. I want to be able to hit every range from 18 to 118. *Fat morphs *Morphs for cellulite. Not all people are perfect, but looking around the market place, you'd never guess it.
will it come free in Poser 7 along with the male counterpart ? btw ... i thought that brown bear looked pretty bad ... or at least like a cub, nut a full grown one.

There is a statement that it will NOT be FeiFei, I think due to contractual situations. But looking at Miki, she has support and it is growing, slowly but growing. And as they announced that they are working on a process of standardization of the character creation process, I expect more new figures at lower prices (looking sceptically at that). For me it implicates, more varieties of ethnic chars, not afro morphs for african figures. Everybody knows, this works only if you don't look into the details. If those figures were UV compatible, hey, would be great.

Well I posted my comment there :) Just as Xeno said, anyone who has been around the communities for more than 6 months should KNOW why female figures are going to get the spotlight. They are going to be better supported because just like in the real world - more personal gear exists for women. Cosmetics, Clothes, Shoes, Jewelry. Unless you get into specific gear like historical clothing, sports equipment and goth regalia then a couple of clothing packs for a male figure pretty much covers the range of male clothing. Also, in general, I truly feel that both male and female poser users tend to gravitate towards female figures. Though many of the folks I associate with are exceptions to the rule, male users are making digital girlfriends and female users are playing with digital dolls. I suppose I'm also biased as I make figures now. However, my first robot figure was "male" and my first toon critter was "male" so I get two points there :D

I don't think they have the manpower to make a lot of stuff, though. They just handed out a Free Jessi Leather Warrior outfit this week as well. The staff they do have appears to be outwardly doing their best to make improvements. cheers DR

Again the idea of an "investment" really depends on what you've invested. A $30 or $50 figure IS an investment. However, V3 and A3 (currently and in their BASE state) aren't that much an investment because, well, they are FREE and only cost you bandwidth to get them. I wholly agree with Anton too - if we see some new features in the figure, it certainly might be worth a look. However, as an end user myself, if it's just another "body" with nothing new to see, It won't do much at all. When I see words like revolutionary and evolutionary - well, um, I'd like to see some of that. Heh.
.
No Fei-Fei? Bummer.
I would be happy with a African figure, though.
I just got my weekly CP newsletter, and there's a new Miki clothing pack. Holy geez, but you get a lot in it. Clothing, three vehicles, and a Tokyo street scene. And a bunch of new head morphs. It's part of a new Miki figure pack, but the clothing and stuff is being sold separately for those who have already bought Miki. It's a Passport members preview now.
And they're offering a free Passport membership if you buy Vue.
And the Miki CE add-on pack is pretty cheap for Passport members. If you use your monthly bonus its at about $ 8 and you get the clothings, the buildings, the scooter, some cars and a bus, some poses and hair textures, ... That's not too expensive.

You still get an awful lot for the price. An entire Tokyo street scene, with skydome. There's a PZ3, all assembled. Each item can also be loaded as a separate prop (vehicles, street lights, crosswalk, sidewalks, buildings, etc.).
lots of cool stuff for miki, but without being a passport member, and now with the price at $60, its a no go for this tapped out guy...I'm not sure I would join anyway, evem at $29 ...well I didn't before... They had a sale over there..not too long after they opened. I was not given the discount on my purchase. When I inquired about it, the rep, can't remember her name, wrote back that it was a screwup with the store software, but never gave me a credit, or anything ...pretty much blew it off, plus had the gall to make a statement such that it wasn't any big deal for the amount of discount I would have gotten` anyway. Well that just pretty much pissed me off, and I haven't purchased anything over there since That bear is terrible.

When CP introduced the passport they spoke a little bit about a new figure. Now in the forums under the thread above there were several hints, it seems to be a woman and she will be availble end of February or beginning of March.Lets see what it will be.
