Exquisite Poses for V4/A4
Renderosity Marketplace
$9.99
5 stars
1. Excellent pose package with an exceptional amount of included content. - 120 poses, backgrounds and materials all for $9.99 (these poses even work on M4 as well!!!!)
2. Readme generically named. ie named "readme". This causes other generically named readmes to be written over and after all this time there is really no excuse for a vendor to do this. I expect this should be changed with ALL vendors and start naming the readme for the product ie "exquisitereadme" would have been appropriate.
3. Poses all work as expected.
4. Everything is included that promotional page claims is.
5. No noticeable extreme limb twisting or unnatural poses - the poses are all ergonomically sound.
I would recommend this pose package to anyone - I did not have any experience directly with the vendor to comment on.

Melissa Clothing Bundle - Jasmina
Melissa Clothing Bundle
Renderosity MarketPlace
$13.99
3 stars
Unfortunately I can't give this product a good review. It simply did not work as expected. However the vendor was incredibly helpful and gracious. She was polite and understanding through all of our discussions regarding the product. The one and only disappointment I had with the vendor herself was that she did seem unwilling to take the feedback I gave into consideration and seemed to just write it off as me being an unskilled user. - Which really was not the case.
1. Directions specifically state that I should have V4 selected when loading clothing items into the scene. If I do so I find that it has absolutely no effect on how the clothing works. I still have to conform to the figure. This seems redundant.
2. The lack of limits on the dials renders the dials completely useless. I have to manually type in the value that I want rather than just being able to try out different dial settings. In Poser this makes the process tedious, but in another render program Carrara the dial limits were available.
3. Many many dials are included that do nothing for the figure itself. Examples: BreastIn BreastOut. Since there are merchant utilities available that will strip out unnecessary dials for vendors than it is hard to understand why they are there. They create additional confusion trying to find which dials will actually work.
4. Product advertisement claims that the clothing will follow any morph to V4, yet it only does so with great distortion and no way to fix that distortion. Examples are all of the Full Body morphs for V4. When any of these are applied to V4 the straps on the chest of the dress become buried in V4s chest - ie these morphs do not work correctly or as expected. - there are no adjustment morphs included to fix this. You can not use any neck or upper torso morphs on V4 and expect this to fit correctly. There are also issues in the glute and abdomen areas.
5. Melissa shoes do not conform properly every time and when they do, they do not fit correctly. I am required to set the foot for shoe dial on V4 to 2.0 in order to get a proper fit. The straps fly off and render the shoe useless unless you apply the no strap pose.
6. Melissa stockings have poke through in the lower calf area above the akles.
7. Readme was generically named. ie named "readme" so of course the unzip requested me to write over others named the same. By this time all vendors should be aware of the need to name all files uniquely. There is really no excuse for this.
8. No template included. Only material shaders provided so it becomes even more difficult to create a texture template for this figure. I am forced to map it myself if I want to create additional textures.
These fit issues are more of a problem due to the fact that A. they are not working properly on an unmorphed v4 and B. there are no included adjustment morphs for them.
The area where I am pleased with the clothing is in the movement morphs that you have created. This is a unique features and is not available in most clothing for V4. This nearly makes up for all the issues with the morphs. The vendor is most certainly on the right track for creating clothing that has features nobody else provides but the major morph issues need to be addressed.

OutofTouch / Bice
Overall a very good product. The price seems to accurately reflect the quality.
Zip unpacked properly. Readme was named specifically. All files indicated on promo page were actually included. Nice variety of textures. No template was included and I would like to see more packages including that.
Fairly easy to get to fit. I do wish a few more adjustment morphs had been included. The stomach was a bit of an issue to get on correctly without poke through. I would have liked to have seen some morphs for a fatter M4.
Renders fantastically! Even in Carrara and that is very rare. The wrinkles in the jeans look excellent - very well made model.
I had no need for customer service so I can't give mention to that - which is good in itself =D. I would recommend this vendor and product.

Pose package for V4.2
Purchased through Renderosity Marketplace.
$9.95
This package was a disappointment from beginning to end. I first found that there seemed to be extreme limb twisting in many of the poses, namely in the shoulder and collar. I felt that the package had not been thoroughly tested which unfortunately is the case with 99% of the pose packages that Renderosity offers.
Initially I left a review stating as much. I gave the product 1 star. The next day I notice a credit on my renderosity account and lo and behold my product review is missing. I received a site mail from the vendor demanding that I delete the files from my computer since they had issued a refund. Well needless to say, I was furious - I had NOT asked for a refund.
I was and still am convinced that this was the vendors attempt to silence a negative review. This dishonest practice is appalling! It is sad to say that my experience with the vendor was 10x worse than my experience with the product itself.
Aside from the terrible customer service in the end I decided to give the package 2 stars. It may be useful as the poses are unique but expect to have to correct some twisting and unnatural posing.
