I had mentioned that earlier when I told the OP that you could serve both Poser and DS4 customers by offering both a Genesis and Poser version of your products.

No. your answer is very vague and does not give any impression of UV swapping. It makes it sound more like needing to create and include two separate products into one package.

 

Quote - There's a bit of Gen4 fatigue going on, where you're not seeing anything new or exciting for the figures... just rehashes of bras and panties, skimpy items and simple dynamic items being sold. Figure textures and figures are looking the same, with the same recycled merchant resources.

Your joking right? You have just described the DAZ store.  Pretty much all the stores in these communities for over the 10 years I've been around.

 

Quote - Our last few products have had been for both Gen4 and Genesis to make sure that both Poser and DS4 users can use our products and that's worked pretty well for us... and that's why I suggested it. From all the heresay and speculation that's went on the forums we were nervous about releasing a V5 item, but interestingly that ended up selling more that almost all of Gen4 items in their introductory period. With our last product (Santo), we separated the product into an M4, Genesis and Bundle, because we there was two much work that went into it to offer it as a single product (body shapes, scaling, hand, foot and toe morphs). But I thought it would be a good way to gauge if what was said about what sells was true (which was bundle, Genesis, and then Gen4).

Marketing. That's all there is to it. Sales are dropping not because of gen 4 but because people just don't have the cash flow they used to have and the split in the community. So DAZ needs to push the two app marketing. You can't even use your example to guage because it's being sold at DAZ. Do you really think you would get the same stats selling that product here? I don't think so.

 

Quote - Maybe because of influx of people grabbing the DS4 that could explain it

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

 

To the OP. The best post here was DustyRider. You need to demo both apps and make your own judgement on what you want to do. I use both. Prefer Poser but I like the Genesis figure. That's something I can agree with Male_M3dia. It would benefit you to learn both if you can if you want to do some marketing.

At least your question is easy to answer. Try both apps.

I'm still sitting here starring at the Modo 601 "buy it" button. To click or not to click that is the question.
