Are we getting into >>personal< preferences, Laurie? That's you, and that's respectable - I'm on the opposite. I respect Genesis but I hate it with a passion. I hate the idea of getting the same mesh and twisting it into grown man, grown woman, baby, monster. I'd hate to do kink content for Genesis adult and think of the ease with which someone could fit it into a child character. I hate thinking of a clothing piece and wondering if a customer would come try to demand it should work for another Genesis thing that has a completely different shape in which my clothing would look awful and would be extra hard for me to make.

Most of all, I'm really tired of being here since DS was first made, COPYING Poser, and now people expect Poser to stall its development to copy DS.

DS was (from what I could see, admittedly I was never in the backstage of things knowing what was actually done) born copying Poser tech, but as it was free and much more limited, the then-owners of Poser allowed it. Now it - thankfully - moved into its own thing, developed its own tech and is florishing on its own.

Poser should do the same. Poser owes nothing to DS - even though it might owe its fame on the success of V4. Poser doesn't have to bend itself for Daz things to work with it. La Femme is PROOF that Poser-only can make quality things, and the only thing that's needed is for vendors to pick her up and make more stuff for her.

Wanting Poser to make itself ready for Genesis is simply reinventing the wheel. It would dedicate all developers in that effort, and then DS would be already churning out the next Genesis, and then Poser would have to dedicate to making THAT work, and then -- wait, when would Poser be developing its own things?

Nope. Please. Next.

Everything gets abused, even good things. Can't blame the creator for what consumers do with their product. If figures as good as Daz figures can be incorporated into Poser, I'm all for it. But the Genesis figures, for as much as you might not want to like it, ARE nice. And there's benefits to it being one mesh...maybe more than there are for it being separate ones. Having said that, if Rendo can come up with figures just as nice, I'm on board. I can use both. I'm flexible ;).

I guess I should mention that so far I haven't seen any content that makes me want to come back to Poser yet, and before you jump all over me, I have the greatest respect for a lot of the content creators that have been working overtime on Poser's current lineup of figures. They just aren't what I'm looking for :). But Gabe and Dee know I love em :P
