I think you also need to make it clear that Sasha now comes with the "Family Friendly" neutered option, for all the people screaming they couldn't use her because she had her naughty bits showing.

@operaguy: oh hey I think I remember that page now... I like the second image that shows the bending of the joints in wireframe. That is also an excellent point about not needing Poser 11 to use Sasha! I've no interest in upgrading to P11 anytime soon, so LF would leave me out in the cold and looking for other female figure solutions - it would be a great time to capitalize on this frustration maybe.

@ karina: I just remembered something else that made me apprehensive about switching to S16 when it was first announced, I already have so many custom V4 characters that I made over many years and was unsure that I would be able to port them over to Sasha. Or if the process would be too complex and take too much time, that also would have stopped me from trying out Sasha.

I am sure I would not be the only one with that concern. That webpage should have a link to some kind of tutorial to show potential users just how easy it is to upgrade an existing V4 or S4 character over to S16.

Hi Wickerman, When you say 'custom V4 characters that I made' do you mean ones you spun up from morph dials and/or morph brush morphs? Wouldn't that be:

1) save your V4 character in the pose folder
2) launch a Sasha
3) click the pose?

Hi operaguy, I remember trying something like that years ago when I wanted to transfer one of my custom characters over to the new WM V4 and it didn't work. Back then I also thought doing the pose-click would move over the character to a compatible figure. It didn't, not entirely.

I can't remember the details any more, but I think some dial settings did get transferred but not any of the custom stuff that I did using the morph brush and also I had used Lightwave to make various morph target OBJs that I had loaded into my original figure. Those OBJs were now scattered, so I wouldn't be able to find them again to load them into the morph targets of the V4-WM figure, nor did I really know how I would transfer over the many morph brushed changes over to V4-WM.

The good thing is that Barzing did create a script to help automate some of the process to transfer morph deltas from V4 over to Sasha... I was hoping he would someday make some updates to that script (e.g. Barzing's script only copies and pastes morphs but not the magnets, so things like boobs that use magnets to help shape them don't come out right).

The Wardrobe Wizard script in Poser does do magnets, but Barzing commented on why he thinks it's not a great script for porting over characters in this thread:
https://forum.smithmicro.com/topic/2805/...orphs-deltas/34
e.g. do not work with SASHA-16, V4 with perfect legs, V4 with pretty legs

So sadly there's no easy way right now to fully port a V4 character automatically without some manual readjustment and tweaking. It's still laborious, especially if you have a lot of V4 characters that you'd like to move over to S16. Maybe Barzing will resume work on that script again if S16 or even LF start taking off and more users want to bring their characters to the newer figures.

I see. Your character creation is deep, with custom sculpting, magnets, etc.

You are way ahead of me in this area. I hope you find a pipeline.

P.S. I bet Blackhearted would love to move his GirlNextDoor onto La Femme!

He already has That's essentially what the HD morph pack is

Yes, I agree, except no one, including Blackhearted, has posted a true GND-looking La Femme render. Maybe he is worried that if someone sees La Femme with GND (spun-up from from HD morph pack) they will start screaming for the "fit" for GND clothing!

Or ... maybe you actually can't get La Femme into GND shape using his morph pack!

Here's my render of Sasha-16 with GND injected. Nudity.

Click here for Sasha infected [sic] with GND

Least you think that pose is exaggerated: it is Blackhearted's pose, and came with the package. He's showing off extreme bending and inflaming desire for the bendy body.

I'm having fun making yoga-pose images for Sasha, to show off flexibility. If interested, check the latest at my gallery, here: [mild nudity]

Flexibility indeed, you dislocated her shoulder O_o

Nice setup

@Karina

Anomalous is using a figure he calls 'V4WM+++', which is basically his own tweak of (I think) Poserplaces' old V4WM, that he has tweaked and refined over many years. Not SASHA, but it still shows the potential of re-rigging V4

---

Just FYI: There are at least 3 other weight-mapped versions of V4, and I tried all of them before I discovered S-16!

The one most people seem to mean when they say V4WM is the one from PoserPlace. But there was also one by AlfaSeed that was posted by someone named Wim (or at least that's the name in the Readme). I don't remember where I got that one. And there was another one by Nerd3D, which I probably got from his web site.

A while back I did some comparisons of those three WM versions as well as the "Perfect Legs" etc. fixes, and what I found was that Nerd3D's WM version was definitely the best of the three, both in terms of quality of bends and ease of use. But none of them came close to the "Perfect" fixes in terms of improving bends. However, for my needs (clothed young adults for a stylized graphic novel), the "Perfect" fixes were overkill.

Before I discovered S-16, I had set up all my main female characters using the Nerd3D WM version of V4. But now they're all S-16!

Many of the things the commentators are begging for in Dawn 2.0 are already ho-hum in Sasha.

La Femme and Dawn can duke it out in their tiny worlds.
Sasha is the savior of the gigantic V4 world.
