I am a long way down the road and as far as Genesis is concerned I yet am in exactly the same place.  I will be interested to see if the announcement actually measures up the reality but that alone will not change my position.  The first thing I need to see is that Genesis can give me something I cannot already do in Poser.  I have yet to see a render that I think, 'wow I wish I could do that' or  to see a outfit that I WANT to use.

If some one can convince me that there is something that I can't already do then I need to know it will not take a great deal of jumping through hoops to get there.

I have been looking for all these wonderful advantages to be displayed to me since Genesis was launched and I am still waiting.  I do understand there are some benefits for vendors and some for those who like to creating creatures but I am not a vendor and do not have a strong need for creatures.

When Poser 2012 came out I needed to be convinced that there were some things it could do that were better than Poser 2010.  Then SM showed me SSS and I wanted it immediately.  Someone needs to convince me that investment in Genesis is value for money.  So even if the news is that the changes will send some people to heaven I will still want see some proof it will do the same for me, and in case history repeats I will probably wait along time even then, just in case Genesis becomes free.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
