Unfortunately I have read some of the same things, and if DAZ can not offer a figure that works the same in Poser as it does DAZ than I will have to turn my back on it and wait for V5/M5 to come out. Yes I have heard that they will be morphs of the Genesis platform but I am betting that DAZ will not turn its back on the thousands of Poser users out there by making it a DAZ only figure like Genesis. That would be poor business sense if they did that, not only would they lose the base figure sales but the hundres of thousands of dollars that would encompas the clothing and poses needed to use those figures would be lost. I truly hope that DAZ and SM get past their "Whose got the biggest pair on the block" issues and come to terms with the rift that is being created by their stuborness!
