Personally, I'm using more the third generation DAZ figures than the fourth or the fifth. Unfortunately there is almost no clothing or expressions for the 3rd generation. So I was really excited and happy when Gen X came out. Now I can use my David3/M3/V3 on Genesis and put some decent expressions on them (not Genesis expressions, they are unnatural and AWFUL!!! I rather buy V4 expressions and use Gen X to transfer them on iconic David shapes). It's not perfect but better that than no expression at all for my David. I will never stop using David, even if there is no items for him. I like David so much, so I think I would have learnt myself to make cloth for him than never use him :). That's why I think Genesis is great. The iconic shapes of Genesis are absolutely fantastic...and without them I would never use DAZ. With Gen X, my David character is alive again!!! Clothing items for 4rth gen are great and I can clothe my David character with them. The Autofit of DAZ is so amazing! It's fast (really fast) and works pretty well. It still needs some work on shoes and long capes but the other programs (like Wardrobe, Clothconverter, Crossdresser...) have also problems with these kind of outfit.

The fact is that I buy V4 items for use on my 3rd generation people. I don't use V4 so much and I never use Genesis as it (without converting to iconic shapes). Why? Because I'm making some comics and it's really important for me to have my original characters. I can't suddenly use a new figure, just because it's bending better. I have to use the same characters I used from the beginning. Then if DAZ makes a new figure who allows me to use my original characters that's great! But if I can't use my character, it's pointless for me to use DAZ and I have to use Poser. That's why I'm a Poser user. I never really tried to use DAZ until this year. Personally, I am more familiar and prefer the Poser interface. So I think I would continue to use Poser if I could use all the great hair, expressions, textures, clothing, poses for M4/V4 on my 3rd generation people. The body of the figure is less important for me (I don't make nudes) but the facial morphs are really important. I can't make a new "David character" or use M4/M5 unstead of David3. It has to be the same character, the same David I used from the beginning, with the same texture (a person in real life can't just change skin texture or facial morphs). Of course I can use M4 or M5 (and I do that) to make other people and they look great! But they can never replace my original David character.

Forget my english :)
