MIKI (Yes, that old mesh from 2005) had several problems: A ridiculously high polygon count and very, I mean VERY poor rigging.

But her body was an exact duplicate of porn actress Aneta Keyes. And I do mean EXACT. Almost as good as a LIDAR scan!

So, naturally, I copied that bodyshape over to various meshes, including V4.

As V4 and LF2 now share the same shape, this allows Poser to easily transfer bodymorphs between them.

So, If you dislike V4's stylized default bodyshape (like me), here's something more natural looking:

As I said: Efficiency.

Once you have created ONE "translator" figure, you gain acccess to all of this figures content.

In this case, the new shape includes single-axis scaling. Which makes cloth adaption to this new bodyshape much easier.

But I also could export that new bodyshape as a morph, then tell Poser to create new joint centers. This would allow me to create even better joints for more natural looking nude renders.

But given her convoluted mesh topology and here overcomplicated face rigging, LF2 surely is not the best model to demonstrate what's actually possible in Poser.

But I think I could proof that cloth support doesn't have to be complicated. It can be just "one click" as usual.

And that still doesn't mean that every figure needs to look the same.

This was a custom V4 morph I transfered, but you could also transfer all of V4's original bodymorphs. (Remember that The Girl 4 or Aiko 4 also just V4 morphs. Or how about Kids 4? Or Stephanie 4)

The possibilities are endless, once you go down that rabbit hole.

Finally, I wasn't happy with LF2's default look, so I made me a new one:


(The ears are still weird, sorry!)


And also sorry, no, I won't support LF2, as I already have a lot of other figures to spend my time with.

But if you're a diehard LF2 fan, now you know what can be done to expand her possibilities.

Thanks for the look.
