Re: DAZ Purchases Eovia  Good? Bad? or who cares?

Thanks Crimmy (and happy belated birthday :redface: ). About The new "Victoria" there is nothing "new". It's simply another character with a multiplied number of polygons, heavier to load in the PC and with a tragic mess like the morph injection. What I mean is that there is nothing new in the way a character is made, it's like a soccer ball full of hair, made of polygons and empty internally, no tries to improve or find an alternative way to make it. And we are very very far to the point where one can not say if a picture is representing a real person or a 3d character, it still needs a lot of postwork and a very skilled artist. This is the reason why you still have problems in the shoulder/arm area, they have done noting more then create another character with the same technology with incompatible dresses and texture with the previous character in order to make money selling it to the people, the old V3 will become unsupported soon (as usual). As a base for the postwork what I consider more important than the number of polygons is a very good textures. In the premiere pictures of this Victoria 4 they show the texture till the pores, but obviously it's only a good texture map, nothing related to the way the character is made. If I take the same texture and port it to Posette the result would be the same. I'm actually gratefull to e-frontier for the NEW technology of the dynamic dresses and hair, this is what I consider NEW and worthing to spend my money, I can use dynamic dresses to wear my beloved Posy  :heartbeat: and the other characters because with a little skill (and the rayera's tutorial) they can be used even if they are not born for the character they were made for. This is the reason why the dynamic dresses are poorly supported, the conforming one CAN't be used for a different character so that you've to spend money, money money, and actually I've not too much money :redface:
