Anybody have both of them and done a comparision? I already have Stephette though I haven't used her yet, but was wondering how she stacks up to Daz's Steph P4.

The only drawback I've seen with Stephette is that she is set up to take Steph head skins, but Posette skin textures...and unless someone can UV map her to take steph body textures (or Posette head textures) it's kinda hard to get textures to line up and/or match color wise. (IMHO) Haven't gotten Steph P4 yet though just because of Stephette.
Remember...getting lost is the senic route to the eventual destination. (And a lot prettier than the straight road)

Yes, that can be a problem with any combined figure. I'm only so-so at uvmapping and can't really afford uvmapper pro at the moment. Serpentis, yes, that's why I included a texture for head and body because I knew that that would be a problem. With all the p4 maps at happyworldland, you could probably find one that's close to the face map you're using. You would definately have to run it through photoshop or paintshop to match the colors correctly.

Netherworks, Yeah, I know, but during the semester I didn't have time to mess around with stuff as much as I would have liked. (School projects come first unfortunately LOL) But now that I have more time, I can afford to do stuff like that.

Hehe, If I really worked at it I could probably remap Stephette. But I'm unlikely to - cause this is my take on it: I like DAZ and I've bought many things from them. I thought that they would eventually do a P4 version of Stephanie. However, I thought that they would include it in a Stephanie 2 or have it as a freebie for Stephanie owners (Like Mike 2). I had no idea that they would change the strategy for this one and charge for a P4 version. I'm not nocking them, like I said I like buying from them. One of P4 Stephanie strengths, as Serpentis mentioned, is that she can take full Stephanie maps. I don't want to take that away from DAZ and hurt their sales. Also, I would think that P4 Stephanie is a higher poly character overall than Stephette. I'm proud of being able to offer something free for the community in the way of Stephette. It's not much in comparison to a "real" model like Dina or Natalia, but it's an achievement for me. Stephette was made available at least a month before P4 Stephanie came out. So, its not like "don't buy this, this ones for free". In my opinion, they are two different solutions for the same end result (wear P4 clothes). I guess I'm just trying to provide some closure on all this.

I'm working on remapping Stephette to take Victoria's textures. There are soem graet Victoria textures out ther eand maybe two for steph. I will make teh UVS file available as a freebie In a coupl days You may have remebered I made a version of Stephette but she did not survive beta testing. Seems I was tehb only one to get her to work. Oh well.

p4 body has already been remapped to take vicki skins and steph head has already been remapped to take vicki skins too... so just take those two remapped figures and recreate stephette? unless you want to do remapping for the fun of it :) i thought the people above were asking for a stephette to take fully steph skins though, not vicki skins. :)
