I agree that going for a-symmetry is important. As has been pointed out by many studies, our biological instincts attract us to symmetry as "beauty." This is most likely why people resist changing Vickie's face; by leaving it alone you achieve perfect mathematical symmetry. More than one person has mentioned that when they attempted to 'dial away' from perfect-zero-Vickie, they end up dialing back again, pulled by the strong tide of "beauty." Meanwhile, in real life, yes, we flip over a man or woman or child whose face is nearly the same, left and right, and whose features are spaced by a certain geometrical 'pleasing' proportion. But...not 1000%. If you saw the real equivelent of Vickie, you would get sqeamish. Every human, even the ones with symmetrical faces, have something slightly askew, something joltingly out of round...that's what makes you take notice. Anyway, that's my two cents on that, and I'm glad Vickie 2 has left/right dials to aid in this. EJ, of course, has them to the nth degree. ::::: Opera :::::
