Quote - I think they're a little overrating Genesis's appeal.
I think you may be right. I've never been that impressed with Genesis and have not seen anything that couldn't be done with the characters already available for Poser (for my type of use anyway). However, I obtained V5/M5 free on a magazine and decided to try it out in DS4. I also took it into Poser with just the regular exporter thingy. (It was definitely better in its native DS4 home.) I even made a dress for Genesis just to see what the process was like and to use the content creation tools so I think I gave it a fair trial. My conclusion was that it was over-rated and I haven't used it since.
Would I use it in the future? It is difficult to say. Maybe if was usuable without having to use DS in any step, was free and came with free content and morphs (which make it useable) I might (but might not) give it another try but I'm in no hurry and would not be upset if it never worked in Poser.
I would be delighted for those who have lusted after it for so long if it worked natively in Poser but for me it is definitely over-rated, especially considering the other characters that have now become available. However, I am also delighted that Genesis exists because due to its existence we have seen some remarkable innovations in the Poser community which may not have happened otherwise. In the end I think everyone wins.
Regarding heaven - I think it will be the staff at Daz who will be in heaven if Genesis worked well in Poser for obvious reasons.
