I shalln't change over - I just find Poser to suit me best and I do get on much better with the interface.
I'm sure that Genesis is very nice but given that buying into a new figure requires quite an investment to make it workable, I have to think carefully about buying into it even if it does become available for Poser. While folk are saying that the combined morph packs are cheap, they do look limited to me - at least considered against all the morphs available for V4, including the elite sets. With some loss of function, it can wear 4th gen clothes but if I want full function, such as for required movement, then I would have to have to buy new clothes. No escaping it, DAZ is in business and fair do's to that, I guess.
Where Genesis seems to shine is in its rigging, it bends very well. However, if much of what you do requires chlothed figures, then it has to be asked "does it do what I need significantly better than the figures that I already use?" - I've seen nothing yet to convince me. I remain open but it doesn't look enough to draw me from Poser. Right now, I have about all the morphs and add ons to make V4 and almost M4 to work as I need. Heck, I rarely buy any clothes for them now - almost everything released these days looks like something that I already have.
