Mytho, that's a bit unfair to be honest.
I have stepped up for every figure ever made for Poser except Scarlet. And, what all the work for Roxie, Rex, Miki, Anastasia and all the rest got me was laughed out of the room.
I have a good following with my product base for the Hivewire figures and I have no intention of stepping up this time. Others can take the risk, for once.
I have a lot of concerns about Project E, and did not publicly voice them anywhere. Because I so resented when folks like Erogenesis did it to Dawn. I will politely keep my mouth shut and hope she does well, honestly hope.
As for the sniggers, Ero has an equal following to me with his porn figures and comics. There is no reason to make that some bad thing, especially when he included ovaries with his 3D barbie. That's his customer base and he has every right to cater to them. More power to him.
But, yes, I will wait and see if Evolution develops a following and stay right here in my comfort zone that I have worked hard to establish with Dawn and Dusk.
While I do respect your right to reply and air your opinion I honestly don't believe I aimed my comments at you personally. What I did say was that that 'wait and see' attitude can cause problems and it's quite clear that its an attitude that has helped hold Dawn back. I am aware that you have supported Dawn and, in fact, I have shown that appreciation by buying most, if not all of your products for her, along with those of the other vendors who have given their time and skills to producing for her. That's much appreciated by me and, I'm delighted to see by others. However, it's clear that vendors who have made products for Dawn are in the minority! A very small minority compared to V4. Sadly, that's the direction that 'wait and see' outlook leads. Dawn has now been around long enough to have earned a bigger following than she has, and deservedly so! So why hasn't she had better success? It's one thing to stick rigidly to one figure (as many V4 vendors have done) but its quite another thing to get yourself so mired in that it becomes impossible to catch up when sales start to diminish, especially in a field which is already over-saturated with identical products.
On the other hand, throwing out a remark about Ero's reason for creating PE and backing that remark up by misquoting him (which I hasten to add did
not come from you!) is somewhat beyond the pale! Yes! Erogenesis does produce erotica and has, in the past, used V4 which lead him to creating his own figures. Project Evolution was developed from that figure for the general market as a means of providing that market (especially Poser users) with a figure capable of taking their art to new levels and, hopefully helping to reinvigorate that sector of the 3D market. I find that the fact that PE is entirely created by one persons efforts amazing, and its one that deserves recognition and development by everyone involved in the market. Does that deserve derision because of that figures origins? No it certainly does not and we should all be careful not to make bullets for those with less than honest intentions to use as ammunition! With respect!
Yes, I was playing with one yesterday, and was surprised how little I had to tweak, though most of the tweaking was done to hands/fingers, which I always do anyway, and her feet/toes. Otherwise, the pose translated fairly well.
Hi Miss B! I've tried a good few V4 poses now and I won't confess how long I've spent just sitting here doing just that but, just between you and me, I should probably try to get a life! The one I used in the image is from Vikike176's Pose Collection for V4. Generally, the only thing I've found is that it helps to turn IK on to correct some minor problems with foot poses. Other than that I'm delighted with her!
