Most are way past "the point of no return" in V4 investment.

Any "New" model will have to be a "VAST" improvement to change that.

Let us be ckear:

Recent models had

-None to bad topology

-Way to many useless poly's or poly saturation in the wrong bodyparts.
Who cares for a 5000 poly ear?
That will be covered with hair for 95% of the time?

-Where a texturing nightmare.

Correct those 3, and any new model has a chance to survive.
To become a hit.. ?

Do not know, but it would have to be a major-major improvement in all deptments.

I have seen the movie, liked the rigging.

 

Normally you would be right, but that's not how the poser/ds content market works. This market is dominated by hypes. If you can create a big enough hype around content, people will buy..... regardless if the need it or not. There is no point of return in this market. V4 wasn't a vast improvement over V3 at all, but still lot's of people bought it. Same will happen to V5, people will just buy it. DAZ is the master of hypes, they sell scores of people items each day they don't need at all or ever will use. It's the way this market works and if you know how to operate in it, you can sell anything.

Create a hype, make it look appealing, tell every they need it and make them believe they miss out on something and are left behind if they don't buy it.

 

What the eye sees, the runtime wants, it's as simple as that. It's not a matter of need or lack, it's a matter of what appeals to the beholder.

V4 was Free therefore the market was stimulated into moving in that direction

You might as well PAY attention, because you can't afford FREE speech
