@odf, that actually means alot to me.  With the morphs, I tried to keep things subtle.  Minor changes.  She is pretty the way she is and its not easy to improve on that and keep her nature intact.  Varieity is the spice of life so I figured the morphs could help with that.  Small tweeks here and there.  Slight change to the nostrils.  Subtle smoothing under the breast.  Gentile size changes to the glutes.  Everybody seems to forget the kneecaps.  Everyone has slightly different knees.  I have notes for some others here and there.  Nothing drastic.

The way I see women, there are three areas that really seem to create a distinction between characters.  Nose shape, breasts, and belly button.  Everyone seems to have distinctly different shapes in these three areas and these, at least for me, tend to make/break a character.  You can put the same texture on a character but if you change these three areas, each character will appear different, sisters perhaps, but different.

Most of the characters I have bought cover 2 of the three.  I don't understand how some of these character creators can totally ignore the belly button.  They are almost as unique as fingerprints and all they can do is make them a pit in the abdomen.  I have yet to see a character come with an "outie".  When V4 first came out, I stopped buying characters after a bit because every one of them had the same belly button with the same texture/shape from Sarsa's merchant resource (with the piercing scar).

 

@SteveJax, You also have to take time into account with the texture list.  How log has each mapping been around to make textures for?  Listing 10 textures from one and 2 from the other is misleading if you don't know the one with 10 has been around for 2 years and the one with 2 has only been out for a couple months.

 

Of course I agree about adding individualizing character options to the figure. But remember the eyes dwell on those parts that interest the individual. You mentioned belly button/navel. Though it's wonderful to see a nicely softly rounded deep oval navel on a woman belly, for me it is equally nice to let the eyes wander down.....to the feet. I am a foot freak and feet are important.I think I even addressed that desire to see nice feet/toe options for Antonia earlier in this thread. Thought the fwwt and toes are cute I douby there are any individual toe morphs for her. If I knew how to do it I would create my own and offer them but in all the years I ave worked with P4 I have not even been able to figure out how to create and use magnets.  :(

When V2 came out with all the additional mesh detail and character/body shape options there was someone (apparently another foot freak!) in the community who offered "Groty Foot & Toe morphs" for her. I snapped them up faster than you can say toe jam. They weren't perfect but greatly satisified my foot fetish. I avoid working with other characters now (though not sure I am correct) because I never see any renders where the artist used whatever foot/toe movement dials might be available and therefore assume they don't exist. Everytime I ask as to their existance I get the proverbial silence. A few created smaller toe morph for v4 but individual toe movement or "Perfect" toe morphs and other foot shapes?.....No!

Over  at the new Antonia thread at DAZ someone asked us all what morphs we all wanted. I ran up a huge list hoping she would actually create even half the requests.

That was all I could offer it seems.  :(

Thanks for these guy. Look nice from what I can see and look forward to getting them.
