The PROS of Genesis:

Best rigging of any commercially available mesh

More natural default shapes for Vicky and Mike.

Unlimited one-click mixing ability between vastly different shapes.

On-the-fly UV-switching, geografted mesh expansions, use of legacy content like 3rd and 4th generation morphs and clothing.

No need for activation or morph injection.

 

The CONS of Genesis:

Low resolution mesh has less built in body detail.

SubD smoothing has high memory overhead.

Constant presence of all morphs has high memory overhead.

One-size-fits-all rigging unless additional fix morphs were created for that character.

No "full integration" into Poser. Current importer breaks single axis scaling.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

People will have to decide for themselves wether the pros outweighs the cons for them or vice versa.

Personally, I decided I've waited long enough and started weightmapping David-3 and SP3 instead:

While the DSON-importer is quite remarkable, it is still a far cry from the complete control I have now over my figures in Poser.

I had hoped for the new Genesis teens to be a tipping point for me, but they are quite underwhelming.

So, while still being "mildly interrested in general", I would need to see native full integration into Poser for Genesis to spend more time with it.
