Welcome back, JJ.

In terms of which direction you want to go, a lot depends on which programme you are already most comfortable with and how important or desireable the Genesis figure is.

Easy way to find out: Download DS4 Pro - it is still free! - and have a go. Some people say the interface is intuitive and stable and you don't really need a manual. You might find that to be true. And then, if genesis does float your boat, you'll be happy to know that Daz has all sorts of products for purchase available: 333 at last count. And plugins / plugins / plugins!

Or, you can go with Poser and get EZSkin for free, WM-V4 and Outfitter for free (and take advantage of your current clothing inventory), Pose2Lux for free (if you want to render in Luxrender), a dynamic cloth room (included) and dynamic hair and a material room that isn't in beta (all included) and Antonia-WM for free. And get sub-surface scattering, weight-mapping and a great manual in case you get lost.
