Quote - Going back and reading the original post, he was asking if he'd be better off to go with the morphs++ for M4/V4 or genesis, halfway into a project. He has morphs he likes. now, most up until you replied said stick with what he has and get the morphs++, I believe I responded with the majority.
However, here and in the daz forums, one of the biggest supporters of "dump poser, get DS4" is you.
Exactly what post have I said to dump poser? There's been far more posts that have done the same things you have, where instead of talking about the characters, have veered into things such as dynamic clothes, hair and random functionality and said erroneous things such as you have to buy plugins for the same functionality to render in DS4.
What I have said is that for females going forward, you have lots of choices. But for men, there is fewer choices... and at this point, there's only fewer choices and if you want to use the latest male figure and you're going to invest into another program then you may want to look at DS4. That's isn't saying dump poser, but advocating something that's not going to do what he wants isnt' going to serve his purposes either.
Quote - And one of the biggest insisters that DS4 can do anything better, even lacking decent dynamics in any area. One supplier, one designer, and IT WILL NEVER CHANGE. Optitex has had at least two years to show ANYTHING being done on a creation software, it hasn't happened, it should be evident it never will.
Once again, I've talked about characters, not about application functionality. That's what you have been doing, and you do this again. Optitex being a supplier for DS affects what part of character creation?
Quote - I have Antonia, the Advanced Morphs, now I have Poppy. The difference is this figure has REAL faces, the kind I see every day. She has a real body, the kind I see every day.
You can create realistic bodies with any character. Getting support for those characters outside of simple dynamics is another matter. Unfortunately the difference between Antonia and Anastasia is night and day. You hear more major vendors lining up behind Anastasia. Unfortunately, to be honest, antonia has a PLAIN face at best. Her body shape is awkward, there isn't enough polys on her hands and arms so when she bends, it doesn't look realistic, and her feet... well i've yet to see a pose there where she can pose it on the floor as well as Anastasia or V4, and that's without weightmapping.
And that translates very visibly into what's available, how it looks, and what is being charged for her clothing. It's real early for Anastasia, but right now, she's got mostly tight, short, clingy outfits from what's she has available... but the clothes are more in cost than what's being offered for Antonia.

Classy. I guess you threw in the towel on this conversation as well if you have to resort to flinging insults. ;)
