Quote - Guys, not to sound ungratefull because I do appriciate your replies, but, my question isn;t aimed at reasons NOT to use Genesis in poser, those seem pretty much self-evident to me.

I am trying to understand what people LIKE about genesis that causes them to contimue trying to use it in poser when they know the results will be less that satisfactory.

I am asking this in an effort to understand the attractions and to see if there isn;t a way to use these attractions to improve POSER products. There must be smething about the genesis system that people want beyond just the scaling and morphs of clothing. Those features won't work in Poser any way. So if we can find out what it is and find ways to make it with poser natively operating figures then we've improved things for both groups, those that want whatever it is that attracts them to genesis and those that just want to use poser period.

If you donlt want to participate in finding the answers, please let's not be negative.

I am interested myself.  I ask the question:

What problem does genesis solve?  The only thing I have seen is that I can mix different figures.  - From my perspective, this is genesis' ONLY redeeming quality.

I actually use Gen3 more than I use Gen4 - I prefer many meshes with many shapes & more importantly, heights.  Both Daz and the vendors have made it clear that they are agressively uninterested in supporting any mesh other than a V4 sized character. - Which in real life is less than 5% of the population.  Genesis is a potential way out of this problem for people that are either tired of cookie cutter figures or too cheap/lazy to use any alternate figures.

Genesis would give me a chance to use figures of differing heights and body shapes.  I don't use V4 all that much because  she is between 5'10" and 6'2" (depending on which scale you use - I go with the Poser5/DazStudio scale, so V4 is 5'10".)  There is an SP4 figure that has about as much support as M4, that is not much. 

Genesis would give me a chance to have a David 4 figure. 

It would also allow me to have children of differing heights, which we currently lack.  No one appears to have any interest in making kids.

 

As far as bringing what is great about genesis to Poser, all other problems that genesis "solves" have already been addressed and addressed better in Poser.

Figure development had really stagnated since the release of V4.  Everyone settled for V4.  Now, that is unnnecessary.  Look at how many new meshes have rolled out since genesis.  Antonia, Bella, Cynthia, Kez, Michelle, Mariko, and more are on the way.
