Welcome back - 5 years!, you may find this a whole new world.

I have stayed with Poser 2012 not through any problem with Daz4 just that there was nothing that caught my interest enough for me to spend the time learing a new program.  Poser Pro version is also 64bit and I guess it is worth going the 64bit route with either program, I am certainly happy with the speed of Pro 2012.

Poser 9/2012 was in the same time frame of Genesis but I was blown away by examples  of Sub Surface Scattering shown a RDNA long before it was released so  I pre-ordered Poser and I have not been disappointed.  I did not get the same feeling over Genesis as I have seen little that excites me enough.  Others are quite taken with it so I am not trying to condem it just stating I have not seen as much evidence that is big a step forward as the new Poser features.

More recently I have spent my time using V4WM from Poser Place which is free.  Using Outfitter from the same source I can convert all of the V4 clothing for use with the weight mapped figure.  This has given V4 a whole new lease of life for me with just the outlay for Poser 2012 which explains why I am having so much fun and have no time to learn another program.

Hope you find your path back to enjoy your 3D time again and I look forward to any renders you produce, DS4 or Poser.

 

 

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.
