Reality check, any new figure that is not made by Daz will die off within weeks regardless how great they are. Why? There is no other company/group that can sustain or market a figure like they do. Simple as that. This Dson importer will improve and soon Genesis will work without any issues. But use what you want, I just prefer using a figure that is a cut above the rest that has the most support and flexibility. If Daz was forcing a piece of sh!t model into Poser then I would be against everything they are trying to do, but that is not the case. Genesis is all the men you need all in one.

Yeah, well... until the DSON importer does improve, Genesis does not have much of a place in Poser. I am not buying any new DSON content -- the new horse, for example -- until I see a BIG, BIG, BIG improvement. I just don't trust it at the moment.

This I agree with. At the moment there are still way to many issues to be used hassel free. Yes I can Get all the functionality of Genesis, but at this stage it is a slightly painfull process to use.

It's kind of acceptable for single figure portraits, and I do quite a few of those. But, as with Genesis in DS, the clothing fits to non-vanilla characters are not quite right. And even with the clothing cleavage addon, what's up with Vickie's breasts and buttocks? Shirts and pants just don't fit her right. The shrinkwrapped apearance looks really, really weird. So at the moment, I wouldn't use Genesis to render any adult female character who wasn't wearing dynamic clothes.

(Then again, most of the Genesis stuff I've bought has been for male characters because it helps fill a gaping void in content there.)

Trouble for me mainly is that I can't bear the thought of going through and converting a bunch of content. I haven't even installed DS4.5. I just can't face the enormity of the task. It demoralizes me the moment I think about it.

ETA: Believe me, I want it to work! I want it to be stable, easier, and not too resource intensive. I really, really do.

 

zBrush is fast at fixing stuff

I see myself quoted, but I wonder if your comment is actually meant for me. I mean, if using DS4.5 to convert clothing via DSON is too much of a pain in the butt for me, you can't really think that buying zbrush and learning to use it would be something I'd ever, ever consider... just to fix some clothes that I have no intention of buying.
