"I love Apollo and I think Antonia has great potential--but if people don't support these other figures (Apollo is pretty much dead now) we'll never have any decent alternatives."
Hi Looking at the current state of things I am of the opinion that "Antonia" will never become the primary /Default female for poser.
If S.M. swallows their pride and continues to work with D.A.Z.on a Fully functional genesis in poser Solution ( as D.A.Z. reports),
Then "Antonia" Will be Crushed in the stampede by poser users rushing to get caught up on Genesis/V-chick .
If a Full res genesis in poser never happens
Most will likely Stay with V4 with her vast collection of legacy content weight mapped or not
D.A.Z marketing is clearly geared to Expanding the customer base.
Even the most Loyal Dazites become jaded and Slow down their purchasing and now that they have the auto fit option they will be purchasing each item only one time and fitting it to all the various genesis platform figures.
So the content supply chain has to be supported by
NEW customers.
If you are a newbie looking to get into the "Digital art Character scene" and you happen upon the D.A.Z site you are bombarded with really nice finished eye candy Illustrations and comic art ,3D renders of genesis/Vchick and a link to a FREE copy of DS4 .
If you are a newbie who happens upon the SM site
you are presented with Alyson& Ryan and alot of tech blather about terms you may not be familiar with
Like SSS , Weight mapping, and IDL etc..
and the lowest cost option to get started does not even have all these features anyway("poser Debut")
This IMO may send most newbies over to D.A.Z before they even have a chance to get initiated into the Alternative poser figure "subculture" where "Antonia" resides and will likely remain.
Cheers
