The thing is with DAZ ( I've learned having to start all over like a new puppy )... in DAZ Studio you CAN use all V4 on Genesis1 and 2 females... DAZ Studio will automatically weight map the clothes when you 'conform' them. Also, if you buy the utilities, Genesis females 1 and 2 can use all V4 skins and morphs. There's also utilities sold by 3rd party vendors to make all V4 poses work on Genesis 1 and 2 characters.

This means you never have to give up V4. She can even wear any clothes made for Genesis 1 and 2 ... and hair and skins.

DAZ spent all these years since Poser 5 working on a eternally beta Daz Studio building it upon all the mistakes Poser made. Poser is the pioneer software... it had to make mistakes because it was the one of kind app. DAZ had the luxury of watching what mistakes were made with Poser and building their app to get around these limitations. I think Poser has been the better app for many years, but ( stealing Poser ideas and being able to learn from the breakthrough concepts Poser introduced ) DAZ Studio has now surpassed Poser.

It has surpassed it because DAZ began as a high quality 3d figure company and they can blend their high quality character tech with their app that learned from Poser.

The DAZ store/marketing department itself has sucked donkey droppings at selling this point for some reason and focused on a DSON dinosaur that is a complete waste of time to battle.

If you love V4 and the generation 3... vicki3, mike3... etc... and don't want new content... you are rocking with Poser. If you want to use the new content of Genesis you will have to run through hoops and barrels to use it to it's fullest morphing capabilities in Poser.

If you render fully clothed characters all the weight map bending BS doesn't matter to you anyways... weight mapped blue jeans is a complete waste of time.

Daz used their high end 3d figures to their full potential with DAZ Studio 4+ . You will never enjoy this with Poser... but Vicki4 is the perfect figure for Poser. Vicki 4/Mike 4 will be the eternal best Poser figures... sorry Pauline
