Do you guys really think the DAZ Gen 4 figures are ugly or are you frustrated because they're more difficult than they ought to be to use in Poser? This is just my personal opinion, and I'm not representing DAZ as so many like to assume whenever I post here now, but I honestly don't know how anyone can think V4 and M4 are not vastly superior to any other available figure. There are fixes for the armpits, you only have to put in the morphs you need, there are a ton of morphs as well as additional ones to change the face and body shape, the clothing support is obviously better than any other figure...aside from Poser-specific issues, I don't see why you feel the need for alternate figures that will almost certainly receive little support and likely not be as flexible as the DAZ ones.

I think we've reached a point where the figures and accessories are more important than the program. If Poser disappeared and DAZ stopped supporting Studio, we'd take our favorite figures to Vue, Carrara, Bryce, or even Blender. If the DAZ figures went away and we were left with a half dozen figures of wildly varying quality and a handful of clothing items, I don't think we'd see much casual 3D art.

I do not speak as a representative of DAZ, I speak only as a long-time member here. Be nice (and quit lying about DAZ) and I'll be nice too.
