Personally, I think La Femme seems to be pretty good, my issue is that there is just much more stuff for Genesis figures and I already invested a lot on those, so even though I'm interested in Poser, it's just not realistic for me to invest as much on stuff for La Femme even if there was the same amount of stuff for her. Honestly, I don't even need the ability to get Genesis figures in Poser, they can just have a system like CC3 which would let me use most of my library while still using Poser native figures.
From a buyer and content maker standpoint, we, the end users are addicted to buying content. After spending over a decade running like a hamster on a wheel, every new thing that came out for the figure (s) of my choice, I would buy up with glee but found that I used VERY little of any of it.
La'Femme and L'Homme are wonderful figures with ALLOT of potential. I'm an ex DS user so I'm still finding my way around Poser and the Material room but I have a character pack for L'Homme almost completed and other ideas for him in the works. He's fun to work with, he bends well and while I think there are little niggles that need improving I ask the community when a figure is in it's first year or so don't ALL OF THEM have their niggles and annoyances? YUP!
So bottom line folks aren't embracing these new figures because mostly there isn't a full on library of stuff for them, that's really it. Bottom line. I just supported Fabi during her sale buying ONLY Poser based stuff to send a message to her that HEY OVER HERE, WE NEED YOUR BRILLIANCE! Same with Cath and many others that in recent years have jumped over to DS to make some bank. It's understandable but it's sad too that it's either or for allot folks, including me.
Back when I was starting out doing content creation I joined Hivewire team and made some stuff for Dawn and Dusk and really wanted to support both DS and Poser but my older brain was just not having it so I just focused on DS. Then I realized that since DS has Genesis my sales were abysmal, so I stopped and then jumped over to Genesis 8 Male, made a wonderful character "Gino" but not one sale. I even have him bundled with clothing and fiber hair "Bio Accessories" I made for him over at ShareCG. NADA. That's when I realized that the market for Genesis 3 & 8 were over saturated with too many offerings. So that's when I took a break from all of it and then came back and jumped ship over to Poser. No regrets, none!
So folks just have to look at what they have, repurpose it with new textures and shaders to get things looking good and be patient! We are trying to fill in gaps but that takes time!
