One of the few things I disagree with you on John..lolol. I don't think people will switch to DS en masse just to use Genesis. I really don't. I know I won't ;). I like my Poser. I plan to stay with it, no matter if there is a Vicky 5 I can use in it or not...lol. I don't think I'm alone ;).

You are by far, NOT alone :)

I also feel this is a strategic mistake but it no longer affects me.  The Poser community is resilient too.

I think the genesis idea takes away from a lot of potential products as I truly feel that folks (speaking generally) will be more inclined to just get by with "Fit To" plugin (or whatever the name) conversions of V4 clothing.  Besides skins, I just don't see that much of a market and if genesis is able to adopt those as well... what is left?

I have tried very hard to not be on one side or the other but there's really nothing for me in DS 4 or in the genesis line.  I have always leaned greatly towards Poser but tried when it's possible to support Studio.  Now there's going to be serious pressure to be on one side of the other.  deep sigh

I suppose that I always knew that it was inevitable.  No matter what, it's going to be an interesting year, for sure.
