Quote - I can see moving platforms to something like Modo ONLY if there are tons of aftermarket support for that figure. BTW, anyone hoping to make a new figure and move in another direction should still think about it being a much better female figure than V4. Then you will see the people here in that are known for their V4 designs in the marketplace take notice and support your figure well.

Modo is not like poser, Modo is a modeler with some animation features, getting better with each release. It does not use Poser stuff like poser does. It does not use rigging like poser does. Poser content can be ported to Modo but it doesn't work like it does in poser.Though someone is working on a poser/Modo workflow for future use.

Other content merchants will create something for any figure if they like it. NearMe and Sadie are good example. But you don't need to rely on merchants as you put it. The big supporters are the ones that do it for free and give the figure more exposure. Then the market people pick up on it. It's a hit and miss game with a lot of right timing and luck. Or like Daz who tells you everything is the latest and greatest thing since slice bread and the means to do it and all the followers that believe it. LOL. It can be crap but if Daz says you need it, (shrugs shoulders).

In a few years I would not be surprised to see 128 bit os as the system to have because all the rest will have cought up with us with 64bit and it will be the norm. But I still think that all highend will stick to low poly figures even with the big machines. The big machines will be able to calculate and use thier power for things like caustics, lighting, dynamics and such, all the things that use most of the power now to render. Only faster.  My guess is all.

peng, 350 morphs are not that much when you think of phonems, all face morphs, muscles and body morphs. How many does V4 have, or what was the count of V3 wih all the morphs.
