Quote - Yes or No ... well if you say NO ..then ask yourself how many times do you use POSER NATIVE figures jessy etc etc .. because in the end thats what you end up with..

if SM does not want to keep things compatible after a year or 2 Gen4 stuff runs shalow

And Gen5 is not suported in poser.. then your stuck with what you have..

Its not Sith Micro's Poser that leads the way, its DAZ figures that make's the "rules"

So SM poser will have a bit of a problem when they do not follow the new "rules"

SM figers are just not in the same league as DAZ figures are ..

ANd who wants to end up having no new things.. support for V4 etc etc will end some day.

I just wanted to point out that there is no real option for new things to come other then for SM's poser to follow DAZ .. and i that light so have their users..

PS please dont start a flame war over it

No.  

So what if the support of older figures ends?  The content itself doesn't wear out and will be just as usable in 20, 30, 50 years time, but I'll be dust in 50 years.

Yes, DAZ figures are (arguably) "better" than the native Poser stuff.  Or at least, much more popular.  That said, V4 is, IMO, completely manky and the vast majority of characters for it are hideous, too.  I find myself using V3 and the other Mill 3 figures much more.  Even V2 and the original Steph get a look in. 

I'll play catchup one day, when (if) the technology is mutually compatible and matured beyond its current state.  Or, if I get a lot of money to throw around, I'll use several different platforms, depending on my needs.

OTOH, I may just give it all up and stick to modelling content myself.  IMO, V4 content - at least the stuff I see on sale here and at DAZ - seems to have taken a huge step in the wrong direction.  There's nothing really appealing and, even if I could afford to,  I doubt I'd buy much more in the way of clothes, textures and hair. 

BTW, "Sith Micro"?  Interesting slip there. :)
