Well, of course my perspective is different, you are a genesis vendor, I am not.

Please don't play that. I buy lots of content, because I don't make clothing. So I can see when there's lots of bras, panties, etc.

 

Quote - The problem from my perspective is that too much content is just a repeat of Gen4 content that I already own.

No the problem is that vendors make what sells, irregardless of the generation. It may not be what you want, but it's paying someone's bills.

Quote - There was a real change from Gen3 to Gen4 with respect to content - what it could do, and what it looks like.  Gen4 to Genesis - not so much. 

No, Gen3 to Gen 4 was the change. There was simply lots of unique stuff for gen3 that never got carried over; and there's lots of simple miniskirts, bras and panties now.

But at least I got a surgeon outfit, delivery driver and a short order cook outfit out of the deal... none of which was made for Gen3 or Gen 4.

 

I will play it - you are a genesis vendor, and as such, you do have a vested interest in genesis - suggesting that you are "just another customer and nothing more" is a bit much.

Much like Apollo Maximus or Miki, Genesis is a niche character - it hasn't replaced Gen4 and I don't think that will happen anytime soon, because the vendors outside of those who sell at DAZ haven't embraced it.  Here at Rosity, there are what, 3 genesis clothing content vendors?  I see Sickleyield, Dzheng, and Oskarsson.  As far as characters, most genesis characters seem to come with a Gen4 character also.

 

DSON for Poser could possibly prime the pump as far as customer demand, but the vendors have yet to embrace it.  That may change if DAZ ever gets it's act together with respect to documentation, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.  DAZ doesn't appear to have gotten much documetation completed in the last 15 months or so.

As a customer, I can see a use for genesis, if Dimension3D gets his Genesis Generation X and his Gen3 add-on pack working in Poser. Or if Oskarsson's Preteens for Genesis work with the DSON importer. 

The only thing I see genesis being good for is filling in the missing Gen3 characters (The YT's and David).  I don't do fantasy or portraits, so what little content is available isn't much use.
