are you saying that DS clothing has overcome the joint problems of V4? Or is it just the clothing being created for DS? I mean does the program self adjust better looking joints on every morph or is it the care of the people creating the clothing that is making it better?
I haven;t used DS enough to notice which is the case, so I'd be happy to hear from you.
I have no idea. I don't use V5 or the Genesis female very much. As I said before, existing fixes to V4 have made her much more attractive: there's not that much reason to use V5.
As for the Genesis male, M5 is miles better than M4 because 1. no one's got around to detailed fixes for M4, so the nude M5 figure is, as yet, much better. 2. the clothing does appear to fit M5 better. Why? Beats me. I'm just the end user. I know almost nothing about what happens under the hood. But surely starting with a better figure has something to do with it.
That's not to say that any of it is perfect. Some M5 clothing still has bloated joints, and people consistently have trouble making good suits in all platforms. Some M5 clothing looks like girls' clothes stretched over a male body: not good. So there's a wide range in quality.
People have briefly touched on scaling. As far as I can tell, Genesis scaling morphs work well in Poser, and IF the clothing is working, it works when scaled too. So you can finally render a couple with a significant height difference.
Someone else pointed out in another thread that having an essentially unisex figure was probably the only way males were going to be widely supported. Looking at the Genesis clothing releases thus far, I'd have to agree. M5 has a much bigger wardrobe, relative to V5 than M4 relative to V4. It also fits him better, though still imperfectly. Not saying M4 can't be fitted just as well. Just that he generally isn't.
