Victoria 4!
Dec. 9th, 2006 01:19 pmOoh, DAZ has released Victoria 4!
I've got the free base waiting for download right now, but I'm going to have to play with her for a bit before I decide if I want to spend money to get the Complete bundle. I probably will if I like the way she poses.
Am not sure how this will influence me in terms of shopping - I'd still like to get the Stephanie Petite body morphs, since she's got a lot of lovely clothes out there. Of course, V4 coming out means they should have Micheal 4 in the works. I'd love a male figure as awesome-looking as V4 is in the promos.
Of course, since she's a brand new figure, Victoria 4 has a pretty limited set of clothes, hair, and skin textures. That will change in the future - DAZ will support her if no one else will, 'cause she's their flagship figure. My collection of V3 stuff just got out-dated, though. I can't even use V3's textures on V4!
Victoria 4 has a whole new UV map than V3 does, so all the textures done on the old UV maps won't work on hers. I'm definitely going to pick up the Ultimate Texture Converter when they release a V4 plug-in, because I've got a lot of lovely textures that I'm invested in and want to keep using.
This will also speed up me finding a good clothing converter for Daz|Studio. Same general reason: I've got a lot of good clothes for characters that I want to use on the new figure. Plus, then I'll be able to enhance my other figure's wardrobes.
*pokes around in her Runtime* Curiously enough, I think my David figure has more clothes than my Micheal 3 does.
Of course, something I really need to do is make some DVD backups of my 3D content and scrape the install programs off my hard-drive. That probably won't get done until next week, though, after finals.
