Quote - > Quote - make V5(genesis) not Poser compatible but please, say it

They are saying since the beginning even pretending that SmithMicro turns Poser into a Studio clone!

Genesis is not a standalone mesh, it vitally relies upon software support for working. I know it is a demented concept, something that nobody has ever done in the field of 3D graphics, but it is so. Supporting Genesis means gulping who knows how much code from Studio and becoming dependent upon DAZ licensing and royalties, something that SmithMicro is sensibly not even considering.

B.t.w, somebody could point out to me what makes all this Genesis thing so captivating to raise this drug-addict-like need-to-have? over DAZ I didn't see anything that would have enticed me, even if I did not despise them. To me, it all appears as a psychological dependence upon DAZ offers, not a specific, product-motivated, evalutation. If you need to spend some money, head to E-On e-shop and get Vue, so that your naked Vicky (3/4) will have some surroundings for her sword-wielding exercise :biggrin:.

It has nothing to do with DAZ - it has everything to do with availability of items on the platform of your choice - be it with DAZ, Renderosity, RDNA, PoserAddicts or where-ever. A split in this tiny market means that there will be less freebies and products for your platform. Having a Poser compatible Genesis/V5 figure would postpone that split,  but that is not going to happen. And the CR2 export is a non-option for most of the Poser users.

For me that means staying with V4 and M4 until there is enough available for other figures and then add these to my figure mix.
