Quote - Funny how someone with proper knowledge of a horse's anatomy doesn't get shut down and ridiculed as someone (or make that plural) with proper knowledge of human anatomy did (back in the other place). It smells fishy.

But anyway, some seem to forget that there really aren't only Poser users who are unhappy with how things are going. Some of us longtime DS users are more than happy to make the switch in programs due to the treatment received. Some of us are even being called traitors.

What of it?

 

I rarely post here, but this statement is too true as well.  Whenever I have expressed my uncertainty about Genesis and it's ummm, odd morphing issues I felt a little ridiculed by those who continue to advocate for the "Best 3D figure in the world". 

The mixture of the morphs in one model can cause problems, I mean Vittorrio for V4 looked strangely feminine when morphed as well, and the female morphs for M4 just the same and I am picky when it comes to the look of the anatomy of my figures.  There are problems I see, many that I know will be fixed in time, but I felt that I would try to voice my opinion on them.  I was merely wanting to give some positive "negative" feedback to help out, and it was turned around against me.  All of this even after I stated that I am excited to try the new Genesis figure and that I am an avid Daz and Poser user so that I have no restrictions based on program choice. 

When I posted my concerns about the idea of gender mixed clothing from one outfit, the thread was locked because of the negativity going on around and I don't know if my post was even read due to the fighting going on.  Which is the fault of both sides, I agree, and the thread had every reason to be locked.  I was hoping for a thread that avid and brawl ready Daz "fanboys/girls" ,and I really hate that term as I am one of them, would stay clear from with the understanding that there were going to be negative points being made, but I saw posts from the same culprits calling out every concerned post with hostility and sarcasm, and than the fights began.  It would have been nice if both sides could have played nice so concerns could be addressed or atleast aknowledged by those in the know.

Incidents like that make me very resentful against something that I was anxious to try and use and spend tons of money on.

 

Sure I just spent a heck load of cash on DS3A, M4 and V4, kept my pc Membership up as long as I could, and spent money at Daz that I didn't need to just to show my support.  And at first shot I was hesitant to try the new figure, but many of my favorite PA's have done wonderful things with the figure and now I need to have it.

  But those types of backlash for a comment not meant to be demeaning in any way, that put a bad taste in my mouth, and that is why many may be upset about this rift.

 

Daz_Rand, I understand that you cannot control those who post at the forums there, and because of this my intentions are still focused on Genesis and DS4A and I have no animosity toward any of the moderaters nor the company itself.  The help and support I have received from many with the "Daz" before their titles, and the PA's who are wonderful enough to help and support my art as good or bad as it may be, outweigh the few who have brought about the negativity and arguments there.

 

But for me the money issue has only stalled my ability to use the new toys, it was the negative feedback anyone gave of it all that caught my attention even more.  The battle is not always surrounding Daz vs Poser users, as I am one who enjoys what both programs have to offer and I have been caught in this whirlwind of craziness.

 

Ummm now after all of that I have a few questions, and since this thread is still user friendly I though I may ask a few questions,

Autofit, this is one of the main things that I need to work when I do purchase my Genesis goodies.  I've heard mixed feelings on how it works, some say clothes carry over smoothly and others say the program does not work well on all clothes.  Is there anyone looking into this, I see you have posted that the Gen 3 figures are in the works for autofit, unless that was wishful thinking on my part, and I would like to think that by then autofit will work smoothly on the G4 outfits as well as the G3 ones.  Because I would give anything to be able to use all of my Gen 3 content on a figure that I can morph into having hooves for feet.....

 

If the above is a stupid question, I apologize, I don't know much about the technical stuff and I haven't yet had the chance to use autofit for myself, just going by posts I have seen by those who have.

 

A new equine on the way, call me excited to hear that.  YAY!

 

Also, I thank you for coming on here, braving the storm so to speak, so that those of us who want to have our voice heard without having to shout above the uproar just to be acknowledged have that chance.
