the DAZ specs on Steph 3 say: Approximately 5'2" Tall (Assuming Victoria 3 is 5'10" Tall). This last assumption will prove wrong.
For the sake of it, I've just measured in PoserPro2012:
V4.2 measures 192.8 cm
V3sr2, V2RR and V1RR all measure 193.3 cm
all within 0.1 cm accuracy.
To me, that's 6'4". Using a very scientific method: Zero Figure, then bend the feet so she stands flat on the ground (!), Ctrl+D to ensure the tough, note the Y-value, dial her down till she just disappears under the ground (works for mothers in law too), note the Y-value again, take the diff. And do use Front/Left/etc cam's, no perspective ones.
P4 Woman measures 185.5 cm, P2 Woman measures 181.5 cm. So they shrink indeed when they get older :)
S3 measures 179.0 cm = 5'10". Not 5'2"
From DAZ documentation, S3 is created from a real person body scan, so besides her length, proportions should do.
The length of S3 matches a Dutch / Swedish young adult, the length of V4 is somewhat exaggerated even for a Dutch / Swedish supermodel. She's absolutely unfit for the standard size 38 catwalk job.
The default Poser cube measures 1/10 PNU. 1 PNU (Poser Native Unit) = 8.6 feet (not 8'6" !!) = 262.128 cm (Ref manual, mind the precision). So 1 foot = 10/8.6 = 1,163 Poser Cubes as found by questo.
Some popcorn left, BB?

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
