Quote - As with all new models I have a question
sWhat about hair? How does hair for say either V4 or V3 look on her? Are you planning on releasing some hair with her?
I was planning to make some hair for her eventually, but if I wait with the release until all the little details are sorted out, you guys will wait forever. I've done some tests with Kozaburo hair props and quick magnet fittings, which didn't look too bad, but I haven't tried any more elaborate hair figures.
I'm thinking that the first release will be very bare-bones. I'll call it the development and evaluation release and put it online as soon as I get the rigged version from Phantom3D, merged it into the final figure and had some quick testing done to iron out the worst kinks. It will have a rather restricted, strictly non-commercial license to prevent merchants from selling products for a half-finished figure.
Then hopefully the community will contribute with lots of feedback and add-ons like textures, props, clothes etc., maybe even a UV-map - because frankly, I've never done one or even made a texture, and I'd probably suck at it - that will go into the final release. As I mentioned before, she will be free - at the very least as in beer. Personally, I'm happy to let anyone have to the geometry and do with it whatever they want as long as they give proper credit. I'll have to check with Mike how he would like the rig licensed, though, seeing as he is thinking about using it for other figures as well.
