Quote - BTW, like others, I don't have Poser installed to the default location. I never have since Poser 6, and still didn't have any problems intalling the plugin. There definitely was additional information in the Daz forum thread on the importer, and it was advantageous for me to read that as well, in additon to the installation instructions beforehand. Perhaps they could have thought it out a little more before they wrote the instructions, but even so, they were easy to follow. At least, I thought so ;).

I don't have Poser installed to the default location either and have never had any problems. I thought I did at one stage but it turned out to be the fault of a python script which was overwriting something it wasn't supposed to in a new service release or something. The only time I have had problems is when Poser was installed in the default location.

The DSON Poser Importer went smoothly for me. I uninstalled it and installed it again without any problems too. I've also made Poser Companion Files to transfer over to Poser with success. However, I do agree that documentation in lots of things is often lacking.

I've played around with Genesis in Poser and as far as I can see the main advantage is being able to morph the character into so many different shapes. Therefore if you are into monsters and non-standard characters it is ideal. However, I have had some problems with clothes not draping correctly or textures looking stretched even when morphing the figure to a standard child which does not seem to be the case when using DS. I think everyone involved in bringing the plugin has done a good job but there are still some problems. No doubt these bugs will be sorted out in future updates.

As far as bending, I am not convinced it bends any better than V4WM. The advantage is that no doubt there will be lots of items made for Genesis in the future. The disadvantage is that it will be expensive if you are an older user and already have an extensive wardrobe for other characters.

I think it is definitely quite fun to play with and as it is free you might as well. However, I'm not sure how far I will be going with this character although I do think it would be quite fun to make clothing items for it. I can fully understand how content creators would prefer to develop for it rather than the traditional characters.
