Thank you!  Conveying emotion through body language is something I am trying to work on. 
Honestly, M4 and V4 can look fabulous in Studio.  I use Anagennesis on them on a regular basis which really makes the skin very much more realistic when rendering them in Iray.  I also have a utility from V3Digitimes that also works very well for converting the base skin to Iray.  But honestly, even out of the box, a lot of those skins look really good.  and V4 has some truly stunning body art and make up skins.

You're about the 3rd person to mention Anagennesis to me. I need to figure out what I needt than to keep spending money on what I think I want. LOL

I'm just working on emotion. That's hard enough getting the right look on a face. You're doing a great job with body language. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Emotion is very very difficult in 3d.  I'm working on that myself.  I have a tendency to default to the blank stare because everything else looks cartoony to me.

Anagennesis  is a fantastic skin tool but its not perfect.  I still recommend it highly, but be aware that it makes the most difference on the older models. Although a bonus is that you can use it on other models like the dragons and dinosaurs.  If you were to only get one skin product this is the one I would suggest.  But there are other good ones that will supplement this.  Did you see the new one by V3Digitimes that just came out?  Looks fantastic, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I try to have my people use expressions, but they look so goofy.

Thanks for the info on Anagennesis. I'll eventually pick it up.
