Quote - > Quote - I mean, as a vendor I need to act on this. Most of my customers are Poser users. Is it really worth going to the trouble of making my products V5 compatible?

A dilemma faced by many vendors over at DAZ. Some have gone the route of developing products for both V4 and V5 (as have a few vendors here). Not sure how many of these products were already in the pipeline for V4 and the vendor quickly added V5 compatibility. Others have hitched their wagon to V5 and don't offer V4 compatibility.

I suspect V5 will be fully (or at least mostly) functional in Poser eventually. But we're really talking about Genesis. V5 is just a body morph that DAZ decided would be called "V5" and have a lot of hype and promotion and bundles associated with it. As far as I can tell it's no different than the other Genesis morphs that have been released, just a slightly different body shape. 

And yes, unfortunately, when people start fighting and launching personal attacks, the mods will shut down this thread too. Maybe locked threads don't show up in the search, which is why you thought there was a need for a new one.

V5 has more detail, more morphs, is shorter than Genesis base female and has weight mapping specifically tweaked for her. The expressions for V5 are some of the best I've seen.
