I was thinking about some discussions reported by pangor and others about how great is V2, V3 V-something against our beloved doll (and the Dork too ).
Actually is difficult for a beginner to start with Poser using Posette because the new versions of the program use a different character for the default woman, which is not conforming to the old model (I think on purpouse), however some of us began with P3Posette or P4Posette.
I think that after a while, after using the default characters one person is naturally curious to see if there is something more, so he/she get involved in what they call "enanched characters" sold as an extra.
In that phase of my Poser experience the V2 model was already used, but I found that some talented artist like Virtualsite (Sean Martin) were still using the Dork and Posette with amazing results so I decided to continue with Posette and met my beloved Posy .
The topic is: is less or more difficult to obtain a decent result with a Posette instead of a V2 or V3 ?
Obviously is more and more difficult, so it's obvious that Posette/Dork's fans have to be better skilled ... Too easy to fit a swimsuit on a V3, all you have to do is to conform it and all the poses works. Do the same with a Posette and the mess starts, one must compensate using all sorts of techniques ... My thought is that an advanced use of Posette is not for beginners because it involves the use of a lot of tricks and experience to obtain a decent result, on the contrary each newbie can do something good paying the last dress package for a V3.
So let's use the V-something for training because they are easy to pose and use the Posettes when you become more skilled
