My male gens project (TaB) is out the door for testing and I am writing the manual now. This project has helped me overcome some obstacles and allowed me to look beyond some of the issues I ran into with Project E, It has also allowed to to experiment with how to build up the materials and runtimes, the poses and several other supporting aspects of releasing such a monstrous product.
Thus my main goal for PE is definitely: plug and play!
However, I think I will have to cut corners to get this product out the door a.s.a.p. With TaB I could see that the possibilities were endless and that I needed to stop myself to get it out there. No doubt I will have to do the same with PE. So I will focus on this:
The initial release of must be able to:
-
Look like and bend like V4 Lali's Bits, V6, V7 and better
-
Be able to morph into any type of woman
-
all facial options, morphs and make-up
-
represent most ethnicities (morph and materials-wise)
-
ship alongside most basic poses, sports, yoga, dancing, everyday, modular poses etc
-
have some basic clothing: jeans, t-shirt, skirt, bra, undies, sneakers, pumps
-
nice everyday hair
-
mannequins for vendors to develop their own stuff on
Updates or expansion packs will include stuff like:
-
theme packs
-
special elvish morphs
-
aging morphs
-
alien / orc / monster morphs & materials
-
more detailed poses
-
etc etc
And now the most important part:
Because this will be my first Poser figure, there will undoubtedly be issues I will have not considered. These will come out of the woodwork as people work with her. Unless PE has an issue that can be quickly resolved,
all requests for mesh / rig improvements and modifications will go towards a second version of PE, and not an update. I will make a promise that the second version will have an identical topology so that we don't have to redo or re-purchase all our content all over again. Instead, if PE works out, we can now focus on perfecting what we already have.
