Quote - I'm quite surprised to see several posts over at Daz saying that this will entice Poser users to D|S instead. Is that just because it's free? If so, wouldn't they already be using the free D|S version anyway? Or are all other Poser users that desperate to get Genesis?

That is a surprise.  I can see some people using Daz4 as well as Poser.  I downloaded Ds4 and when I get really bored I will probably install it but it is already too late for me as I am hooked on the Sub Surface Scattering in the latest Poser.  In some scenes, where the character is not dominant, it may not be an issue so I might use DS4 if it gives me something Poser can't but it will not replace Poser for me.  I never had an interest in Genesis, not even when it was new and Shiny, and my time for the last week has been spent getting to know V4WM.  There are a few issues with clothing but on the whole there is a relatively quick quick solution, at least there has been for the majority of the outfits I use for V4.   There also appears to be a better solution in the pipeline so even that will go away.

May not be a game changer but in my book SSS and V4WM are much nearer changing the game than this Daz attempt is.

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
