Description
You might not remember or even not know who is Yasmina, because I haven't post a lot of renders with her and the last picture of her is from Septembre 2018. (I haven't realised it was that long!)
Anyway, I have decided to convert her in G8. The conversion is not 100% perfect, but I think her G8 version looks great. That said I think, I still prefer the V4 version. =p
The V4 version being very good, I could continue to use it. My problem is that V4 always have a kind of stiffness when you pose her, that G8 don't have, probably due to the fact G8 has more bones, among other things.
So, yeah, I don't know what to do.
Which version do you perfer?

I don't think either of them is better made; I do prefer the G8 version but that's only because her skin is a little darker and it suits those looks better.

Thank you for your thoughts. :) Yes, technically I don't think one is better than the other. I think that if I prefer the V4 version it's because I am so use to her looking that way. About the skin tone, the V4 version had a similar tone to the G8 version at first, but when I converted her shaders to Iray, it gave me this "caramel" tone, which I liked at the time. But for G8 version I have decided to come back to a darker skin.

I agree with fireangel - particularly as G8 offers so many more options. Darker skin tones aren't bad either.

Thank you for your thoughts. ^^ I will end up using the G8 version, because like you said G8 offers a lot more options. But I'll work on the character a little more first. About the skin tone, the V4 version had a similar tone to the G8 one at first, but when I converted her shaders to Iray, it gave me this "caramel" tone, which I liked at the time.

Both versions look great! Although I would prefer the G8 one :)

Thanks! ^^
It's funny, at Deviant Art most people seems to prefer the V4 version, but here, it's the opposite. :)

I have used V4 for many years. I have not used Daz studio, because not wanting a larger runtime. I have not used V4 for a long time, because Poser 11 or 12 refuses to recognize the runtime. I started with V2 and V3. comparing V4 to previous versions, I prefer V4

It's weird and sad that your Poser versions refuse you to use V4. I have used V4 for years before going to G8. It took me some time to adapt to her but now I love G8, but V4 will always have a place in my heart and my runtime. :)
