odf et al— nice work!
One suggestion— with the "should the lips have a separate material" question. I find it easier to just modify the underlying color of the lips then to change it on the texture or use a lips-only texture.
I like the fact that someone is making a "normal" human bean. Model she is — just not one that Hollywood would consider. I'm actually dialing a V4 morph right now with a similar body shape, based on a real person. Realism is one of the big things with me.
Facial features and expressions are a must. V4 is good. But above good is better! Her expression morphs are generally fakish (did I make that up?). I am interested in "3d portrait photography" and as such accurate facial expressions are a must.
If I could help in any way, let me know. I can't help a lot, being a college student and all, but I'll do what I can. Maybe a set of initial poses? Search "Rancor Poses" in the freebies to see my first bitty upload…
At this point it sounds like she will be free. Well and good. If however you find that you need to take payment, that's fine too. Just don't price her as high as some of the other figures! I only have V4 Complete because I got her on sale for $10.
Antonia's shoulders are excellent. V4 is lacking glaringly there. If there is one change v4 needs, it is the shoulders.
Initially I thought her shnoz a bit large, but not now.
Sorry for the long post— had to catch up with everyone else.
Again, nice work.
