My only issue was with the "not very well" part.  Some people like to say that because Genesis tries to do it all, it doesn't do anything well. You don't have to buy V5 or the Legacy V4/M4/David morphs for Genesis to be useful, all you really need are the Evolution head and body morph sets, which you'd have to for the equivalent of any other figure out there anyway).

The only thing Genesis doesn't do all that well right now is work in Poser. Anyway, thanks for clarifying what you meant.

Okay, however, part of what I'm trying involves an elementary school of the one room type where you have grades one through eight.  (I went to one of them.)  Now, trying to reproduce the way kids in that range move, it becomes obvious that there is no figure that will bend like kids do.  I see some things called extreme bends, which for a mesh may be.  For some one six or seven years, it's a normal bend.  In this regard, whether I used the Genesis figure or Penny would make no difference, they're both going to fall apart.  However, maybe due to unfamiliarity with undocumented software, I find the Genesis not as easy to pose and get an acceptable result.  For an end result that isn't what I want, more work than many other figures would be, I still say, not very well.  I do not have the cr2 exporter, or any morphs,  and as I'm not getting along with DS, it wouldn't make any sense to spend the money at this time. 

THis is a time of change, when several developments are being brought to a usable state.  I do not believe the end result is going to be any of the individual developments that are out there, but a compromise between many, allowing the use of many.  Genesis will probably be one of the ephemerals.  Here, flower, for a while, then as in it's present state, unable to adapt to other improvements, and gone.  The end result will be something different from what exists now, and something still to come.
