Quote - tbh, Genesis doesn't appeal to me at all, I prefer my women to be women and my men to be men, ;)

In my opinion, if the same amount of creation time went into making just one figure, male or female, surely it would be time better spent....but I know nothing.....

Yeah, I do think that's a good point, Mystic.

Genesis offers a lot of convenience I guess... and does have some neat tricks.

I do think... and this is just my subjective opinion... that whilst a lot of standalone figures, e.g. Miki3, could be cited as having too much "personality" to be as widely used as she otherwise might, Genesis is, conversely, at risk of being too neutral.

But really that is just down to the quality and range of character morphs being produced I guess. Genesis is arguably more of a blank canvas, as has been stated.

But, from my viewpoint, I think that the "blank canvas" of Genesis should mean that character modellers need to put in more effort and probably, on average, develop greater character modelling skill, to get more diverse characters out of it. In principle, to my primitive oil painter's brain, a blank canvas means more work than a canvas with a "join the dots" or "paint by numbers" sort of outline already drawn on it, ready to follow (or indeed react against).

I think the potential danger of such base neutrality is more blandness, less range and diversity. Just my opinion. But, in my view there is already too much sameness in orbit around V4. Maybe this is down to market demand for slight tweaks of popular core looks though, rather than any other limitation...

...but this is possibly just so much subjective nonsence on my part.

In principle I will certainly still be getting hold of any and all good standalone figures that come out I reckon, e.g. Michelle (already got), Miki4, Tyler, Lucas... within reason... and likely working with them just as much... and I'm generally not averse to putting in effort with WW or whatever to do that.

But still, I'd be more than happy to welcome a possible "Genesis for Poser" to my runtime too and putting that through its paces, for what its worth...
