Quote - Not True !!
Steve Copper (of Smith Mocro) wrote a blog to State specifically that there will be no direct support by SM of the genesis Figure within poser.

DAZ has stated repeatedly in their forums and on the DS4 FAQ that the most they are doing is **releasing a generic  Cr2 exporter that may deliver a genesis to poser  **
that is "posable " but frozen in whatever morphed state from with he was exported.

Despite thisSome poser users are in an extreme state of denial and will ignore these official statements and insist that DAZ and or SM are basicly LYING and "MUST" release a fully functional poserized Genesis figure as though it is some fundamental civil right  that must be honored.
it is quite a bizzare phenomenon to witness.

Sometimes (quite often, in fact), you speak the truth and make a lot of sense. This isn't one of those times. I'm not sure what's got you so wound up.

I don't think having Genesis in Poser is a "fundamental civil right", but I seriously doubt that DAZ is so stupid as to cut off a steady source of money just to ensure that DAZ|Studio is as different from Poser as possible, especially in these tough economic times.

I also didn't imply that anyone at DAZ or Smith Micro are lying. However, if DAZ is working on a Poser version of Genesis, you know very well that they'll be very tight-lipped until they're almost ready to release it.

I am dubious of his intent when he said it, but it rings very true in this situation.

The DAZ|Studio 4 FAQ states, and I quote,

Quote - Is the GenesisTM series compatible with Poser?
The Genesis series of figures relies on powerful new technologies that are currently exclusive to DAZ Studio 4. However, the new file format that the Genesis series utilizes is an open, ASCII format that can be interpreted easily. DAZ 3D is ready to help all those who are interested in adding support for this new platform within their own tools and applications, such as Poser by Smith Micro. A SDK is currently in development, and DAZ 3D has already reached out to several partners with hopes that they will be able to add support for the Genesis series within their own applications.

If you have a favorite application or tool that you would like to see support this new figure and the underlying technologies, please contact the developers and let them know of your desire to have them support this next generation figure platform in their application.

I see nothing in there that reflects what DAZRand said in the forums about the need to make do with a limited CR2 export. We'll probably have to make do with such initially, but I wouldn't go to too much trouble with tweaking/customizing such figures, as I'm quite certain that a Poserized Genesis will be released in the next few months. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

So, can we do without all the FUD for a while? That's aimed at several people BTW, here, at the DAZ forums, and at the RDNA forums. Up until your reply above, you weren't one of them :)
