This may set some people off, but I have antonia, and most all her freebies, I'm not impressed. She's Mil3 calaber at best. I mean no insult to her creator, I've rigged a few figures and it is a task to be prode of once completed. But I don't see why the Poserverce is all gaga over her.

And yes, I agree there is still plenty of life in the Mil4 figures. Don't know why so many think they are obsolete. Genesis is a new figure, a new DAZ figure, meaning it was released with bugs, and I doubt DAZ will have them fixed soon. But genesis is complex enough to be considered a DAZ app, meaning hold off for about 6 months for DAZ to get it fixed lol

I'm still at a loss though trying to figure out why people are upset about DAZ weightmapping not working in poser, when no weightmapping from any app is transferable to another app. Never has been.

And I still maintain it isn't up to DAZ to reset Poser so it is compatable with Studio weight maps. You all need to go at sM about this, not DAZ. It's not up to the development company to make their format work in your app, never has been. It's always been up to the development company for the app you are importing to, to make it compatable with the format you are importing.

Has everyone forgotten the hoopla that went on when the mil4 figures were released? Has everyone forgotten that at that time if you wanted to install the mil4 figures to a runtime there had to be a Poser .exe in the folder you were installing to? How could a figure have been more Posercentric?

Now I'm going to turn this around. The title to this thread is DAZ vs the world, I think that is a misstatement. It's more like Poser vs the world, because it seems Posers expect the world to bend to their whims. It's not DAZ wanting Poser to change to be compatable with genesis, it's the poserverce expecting DAZ to change genesis to be Poser compatable. It seems the Poserverce expects all the rules of thumb for most every other CG app to be bent and broken just for them.

So I reiterate, it isn't DAZ VS the world, it's poser VS the world.
