For your information, all my girls are from now on 'Project E', not V4. I promise I will hold a ceremony for V4 once the time is right.
Project E?
'Project E' (PE) is an entirely new 'Poser Figure', with a new mesh, that can handle V4 content. Poser is software owned and sold by 'Smith Micro'. V4 is 'Victoria 4', a figure developed many years ago by DAZ and has been the flagship of the 3DX scene for almost a decade. Read here wat 3DX is all about. What 'E' stands for will be revealed at a later date (and its not 'erogenesis'). I developed PE this year (2014) for my comics. You will see a lot of 'Lali' associated with PE in renders, but Lali's character (and the other characters) has nothing to do with PE except that I use her to develop the figure's general morphs, her Joint Controlled Morphs (JCMs) and her Weight Mapping (WM). PE is a base figure; Lali and her friends are characters.
Here is more info on PE.
Why Project E?
We have a load of figures to choose from these days, but none of them appeal to me. For my comics I need anatomically correct ladies, and not just in the genital department. I'm talking typical woman, fat rolls, folds, subcutaneous fat, dangling stuff, shearing flesh etc etc... None of the existing figures can deliver that without some kind of addon, plugin, injection or adjustment that doesn't even guarantee anything. Besides, they usually don't even have the polycount for it, or the commercial freedom to extend their talents to the software I use. Project E fills all those gaps... well for me at least :D
Now what?
Patience! Making a 3D figure for yourself is fun, but for the market it is a totally different ballgame! Right now she has V4's joint centers and you-know-who will have a lot of fun suing my ass back to the Triassic period if I just release her like that. So for her to have any kind of value for you, we'll need to think of some serious tricks, and I'll need to get some big fish on board (which might actually be feasible!). Besides that, there is a LOT that still needs to happen before I can release her. Currently she's not fit for the market (trust me!). The software I'm using needs a serious update before I can make JCMs that are market-worthy. I can hack it, but customer service will be red-hot like she is now.
So?
Suffer! Like I did making the damn wench! Hihi :D Look, I'll try get it all arranged, but you won't believe what goes into making a figure like this. Ugh. We need to wait until shit gets sorted out on the development side (and I've been hearing very encouraging things from that side!). But the wait is certainly worth it. Even with the version I have now, things are fucking awesome!
That's it for now guys!Peace!
