Its in the hips and the faces mostly, JoePublic. And you said yourself you had to re-rig them to get them to work properly. 

I'm not trying to criticize your personal work by any means, so don't take it that way. And I'm not directly bashing Daz or anyone else who has created models so far. 

But to state that it's unlikely anyone will come up with a better mesh than what Daz has come up with so far is laughable and defeatist. I see and work with far superior meshes every day. The only difference is that no one has bothered to bring a better mesh into Poser yet. 

Genesis will likely never be supported by Poser, as it functions on different technology than Poser currently has, or plans to support in the future, from what they've stated on the issue so far, and Daz has already stated they have no intention of developing a Poser-compatible version of Genesis. Whether or not that changes on either side is yet to be seen, but somehow I doubt it. It seems quite likely that the two entities have gone their separate ways. 

So does that mean that Poser is left to rely solely on old versions of Daz figures and whatever modifications its user community can come up with that make them function in future versions of Poser without violating copyrights? Surely there is room for new Poser-based models to be created that utilize the current abilities of Poser and are just as versatile as anything Daz ever did, if not moreso. 

And this is not supposed to be yet another thread about Daz vs Poser, so don't take it down that road. It's about the male figures and what they have available, or should have available, regardless of their creator.
