Description
Sometimes, it's just hard to beat an original.
Remember when they changed the formula for Coca-Cola several years ago? Yeah..... That worked, didn't it? LOL
I've seen a few renders of the new version of the Girl - G8, and while she is really cute (and I'll most likely end up getting her), she is a complete departure from the original "The Girl" look. I know Mike mentioned that in his delightful post with her. It seems each new iteration of her has stepped farther and farther away from the original. Maybe this is what DAZ is trying to do.... I do have G6 and G7 - which I love - but G4 will always have a special place in my heart!
I'm sure by now most of you know I'm the biggest Girl 4 fan in this universe, and probably several others. When I first started playing with Poser 8 back in 2009, she was the first thing I actually bought from DAZ - and I went all out and bought the Girl 4 Pro Pack for 100 bucks. I never regretted it.
Anyway, I felt inspired to do this piece with one of my all-time fave CG ladies. Hope you enjoy! BTW, I have a UHD (3840 X 2160 @ 300dpi) version with no watermark on my Patreon.
Again, thank you for all your prayers, well-wishes, and support for Joshua. He's started his therapy, and is doing well, but it's still going to be a long road for him.
Thanks for stopping by, and for all your wonderful comments and support!

Cute image, I love the background.
Pant, pant, where the AC when you need it? G4 is bursting out of that tight bikini my friend. I'm a Pepsi man mostly, can stand canned coke but fountain ones like at Mcdonalds are good. G4 liker also, Now I think I need to run threw the sprinkler!
Fabulous presentation of G4. Like you, I prefer G4 and A4. while the newer versions have their place, the classics will rule
Cute
We live in a "Clone World", Rod! Next time you are sitting at a stop light in heavy traffic, try to name every car you see without looking at their logos and badging! THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!!!!!!! What makes it worse, they are at least 90 percent white, black, silver or some shade of gray! Point being made, DAZ is just trying to mold G4 closer to the other girls so she isn't so conspicuous. Note: Changing Coke was a really stupid idea (duh).
Girl-G8 in a definite party mood, as depicted in another one of your fine renderings of her and her ilk. Lots of decor going on here, and masterfully detailed. And best wishes for Joshua on his way back to full recovery.
So cute my friend love it :)
well done!
Super image!
G4 is our girl:-) Point well made.
The original is still the best. Don't care much for the newest version. She's lost all the character that made G4 unique. Fabulous job with this scene.
I don't drink sodas--beer is my mainstay (it's good for your bones)--so the whole Coke thing is totally alien to me...aside from that >> love your scene--nice little gal enjoying her afternoon sun...that tomato juice looks nice, especially if it's BM.
Nice work
she is so dang hot Rod. she defines sensuality hand over hand
Mexicans thinks that Coke bottled in Mexico is better than in the States. they shell out big bucks to buy imported coke bottled down south. for many years they put sugar instead of sweeteners. they finally dropped the real deal and does it the same as the USA
Absolutely fabulous render - and Girl 4 is iconic!!!
Awesome work on a super awesome scene. Agree with you on this Rod. Cheers have a great weekend.

I like this girl, sexy image !
Yes, 'New Coke,' and 'Coke Classic.' I ordered 'Classic' for too many years afterward. The kids kept telling me, just order 'Coke.'
OH Yes, I feel hot like her. Maybe not in the same way ROFL!!!!!!!!!!! The room temperature here is way over my comfort level.
G4 for ever! I still have the "Oopsie!" image with the cannon ball hole in the monitor. As you say, each change makes an old favorite less like its original and thus causes a creeping estrangement. There's a reason I stick with Summer and a few others, like DNA_ Beach Babe, Amelia, Alicia, V3 Dorah, V3 Suzel, V3 Amazing Grace. I have more V3, and they stand up pretty well even today. Some are unfortunately no longer available. Keep up the good work! We want to recognize out favorites! :-)
Love your take on G4! She is a real doll! Your images of her are the greatest! Glad to hear Joshua is mending and getting better! Always in my prayers! Have a great today and tomorrow! Best wishes!!!!
she sure is sexy. that's an alluring pose. I hope you enjoy the new versions, too.
'G4' is lookin' good, and she knows it!! 'lol'!! I bet she would rather be drinking an ice cold can of 'Coors Light' instead of that 'Coke'.....'lol'!! Nice one Rod!!
Actually, Gee isn't that much of a beer drinker. She would much rather enjoy a nice glass of a good red wine, or sometimes a smooth Kentucky sippin' bourbon after a good meal. Otherwise, she'll grab a coke or a coffee.
You'll get to know her a bit better later this summer or fall.... Including her real name.....😉
I remember "New Coke" or "Coke 2" as it got called just before it slipped into the nether world of "never happened". The same place you can find the original theatrical release of 'Star Wars' - Han fired first!
For me of coarse, it is V3. I've tried other models but I keep coming back to her. And I can still get things at DAZ for her - lots of hair styles still available.
I actually have 2 VHS versions of the original SW triolgy - the first theatrical version, and the "enhanced" version. I'll have to digitize those one day soon. I have one working VCR, and when it dies, I'm SOL - you just can't find VCRs anymore.
Yeah, I'd have lit up Greedo first, too.... LOL
Now I want a coke. Well done and fun art.
Excellent
she has a tan! loce the suit1 it was hard to dress g4
full size really brings out your way with pose, light, skin tone, sheen, and studio quality pinup work. I know nothing of the generations of 3D models; I can only read of them via you, Mike and others: It's so foreign to anything I know. But I get your point that some versions are just classic, and all future 'improvements' just don't reach that level again. But then, you've made G4 into someone unique; as I've seen her in other galleries, and she doesn't have nearly the same presence. This is very photographic, her skin is what a photographer would work a long time on to get that sheen and smoothness. And her pose is pure old-fashioned pinup; a real classic pose. And the browns in this piece---incl in the pitcher---really harmonize with her copper tones. (Her hair has never contrasted better.) Good choice for the suit color too---it's kind of the highest tone here. And putting her off-center allows this whole backdrop to support her fully. A really fine 'capture', Rod. And I'd have gotten here faster, but your ebot arrived a few days late. Several ebots did that...but I'd have checked your gallery regardless: I've been here too long to know, if I haven't seen an ebot from someone for several days, to check their galleries...
I wish continuing strength, endurance and healing to young Joshua. Hope he starts feeling his strength soon...
She's a sexy cutie! Great scene!
