Quote - > Quote - It really all comes down to one question:  Is the figure superior to M4/V4?  If not, then forget it.  It's not going to catch on, it's not going to become popular enough to attract the support of "serious" vendors, and it's just going to languish in the same little backwater limbo into which so many other figures have sunk.

Yanno we ARE talking about POSER users here ;). And it may catch on to Poser users. I don't think any one expects that it would catch on with DS users. And that wasn't even the original question. With the right person modeling and getting the word out and vendors on board that make GOOD stuff, not the crap I've seen come out for other recent figures it has a chance. With POSER. Can't use what are now dead figures forever. And I don't mean Apollo ffs. Much as I loved his things, Anton is too big of liability for any 3D venture. I'm pissed SM is resurrecting an old G2 figure. NEW..that's what ppl want NEW and better than the last iteration. And if Daz doesn't give it to them, they WILL get it somewhere else. Whoever thought a rinky dink operation like Daz would become the standard for Poser figures? I didn't at the time that's for sure.

Yes, I know we are talking about POSER.  I started with POSER.  Until very recently, all my products were made for POSER.  Starting in around December of 2005, most of them also had DAZ Studio versions, but they were created and intended to work in POSER, and the DS versions were "secondary."

 

And M4 and V4 are POSER figures, in that they have POSER-based rigging and are designed to work in POSER.  For several years now, they have been "the" most popular figures among POSER users-- so it's entirely appropriate to say that any figure that aspires to become a "mainstream" POSER figure must be superior to them-- because unless and until such a figure is created, they are going be pretty much "the only game in town."
