As a vendor that creates a lot of characters here is my take on what it would take to make a new salable base character.

1. She has to look like a girl with a sweet, cute youthful girly face.

Not a tough masculine face. European not Asian, (but morphable into Asian and other ethnic looks) Sweet and hot like a cheerleader sells.

No matter how great her body is her face sells her first. Look at all the ads in the marketplace of the top selling products .Even the vendors buy those sweet girls to market their products with. Why? Because that type of face sells products.

2. She absolutely MUST morph into  both a voluptuous girl, busty, small waist, dreamy hips or slim and youthful. No boobs no sales for the base character.I know. I've tried marketing most of the "other characters".

3. She would need a weight mapped and a non weight mapped version. There are far more customers running older version of Poser that do not take weight mapping than there are that use it.

Strictly speaking from a vendor's standpoint. The absolute best thing that could happen for the marketplace would be an upgrade of Poser to support Genesis.

The market is so fractured from this rift it has cost all of us dearly.

It would be nice if everyone could play nice again.

These are my opinions as a vendor that would really like to see the market get stronger which would benefit everyone.
