"This opens new doors of opportunity"

Which can also be the same door hitting you in the ass on the way out.

As others have pointed out, there are basic differences in the human male and female structures.  And there are ways these differences change between a child, young teen, teen, or mature person.  To say one figure will replace discrete figures, okay, I had the idea that it would be nice, years ago.  Genesis only proves that it will NOT work.  What you end up with is at best a kludge that doesn't resemble either a child nor an adult, male or female.  It does not bend like an adult, or a child, getting it to look right is difficult.  Made worse by a program that is unstable, which will not run in my better computer, barely runs in a cheap eMachines. 

Support for V3 is disappearing, fortunately I have what I need for that one, as well as for V4 and some for the male counterparts.  It begins to look like throwing everything they have into V5 and whatever else they come up with is their aim, and abandonment of the older figures soon to follow.  Were the genesis figure compatible with most of the already available software, it probably would not be a factor, however the opposite is true.

Poser can't conveniently use genesis, and the answer seems to be "Tell SM about it"  but the weight mapped poser figures won't work in DS, I so far haven't heard "Tell DAZ about it."  However, the genesis figure is not available except as part of DS4, then has to be exported, forcing anyone wanting to use it in anything else to learn an unfamiliar program to export it to anything else.  For the DS users, this is fine, for me, it's a stopper, full stop. 

releasing DS4 before any documentation was available was a mistake, a big one.  Releasing genesis with nothing available to modify it was another.  Lots of "advance interest", granted.  Followed by lots of users saying "Oh, well" and moving on.  Poser's weight mapping offers the possibility to change the older figures to have much better bending, all that's need is time for the right people to learn that well enough before a whole lot more are released in the form of morphs.  Two systems gives two choices, yes, change can be good, but it doesn't always come out as the changers hope.
