@Mec4D Thank you. It is so great to read some common sense nowadays. I honestly never understand this Gen to Poser thing. It is now some kind of obsession, no matter how many times they get explained that it is not on the Poser developer to decide if Gen goes into Poser or not. I use Poser since long. I use also DS , have invested a lot in Gen 2-8 products. I invested btw also in V4 a lot and don't even bother my self anymore with her. And people also like to forget how many xtra scripts, morphs from 3rd party creator was needed to make her bend and behave properly. LF is good, all she need is support and some small fixes ( have to admit her hand is awful , especially her thumb ) , but I don't think it is sooo difficult to fix this. And there is Dawn, soon Dawn 2 , which looks very promising .Personally, I am looking forward to what comes next in Poser and LF/Dawn development. And when I have the urge to use Genesis, I open up DS.

Let me explain why I like bringing in the G figures into Poser.

I need more than generic, instantly forgettable, early 20's Caucasians - which is every post-V4 figure. I need older people, younger people, normally sized people, and clothing for professions other than the oldest profession. AFA sets, I need normal stuff for sets.

This is why I still use legacy figures. This is also why I use the fitting room to make all of my clothing content figure independent via the fitting room. And it is why I dump money over at DAZ. They make what I need. Pity the software is a poorly coded pile of poo.

Poser, DS, Blender, whatever - every program has it's limitations. It is up to you to decide which works best for you - for me, it is no contest - Poser gives me the best value.

I understand where you coming from. And yes, I think Poser characters like Dawn/LF and their male counterparts could have more vendor support. More various characters, older age, ethnicity , monsters, etc..but I think here Poser users fall in their own trap. This is like a self fulfilling prophecy. As I remember, Dawn was already bashed before her official release. User give her not one fair chance. On the other hand, why should vendors spent time and money on a character which get already trashed before the official release? No support from user, no support from vendors. Poser character will disappear therefore in a void and people keep asking for another Poser character, which will have the same fate like all the others. Support Poser character, ask for new features for them, corrections whatever, V4 was at the beginning very poor too.
