your original question "why Still Victoria Products"?
A large part of this is due to Money
Genesis is new and was not made for poser, people and I refer to most of the high end clothing creators, no not all but several have made a product for Genesis and if it does not sell well they go back to what does sell and V4 still sells and genesis did not.
Now With the Dson some may be looking at Genesis again, but they will create what will sell, and Poser is a huge group Daz Studio a smaller group.
Dson=(DazStudioOnNarcotics) LOL...or is there a better one?
Tavia, I guess you missed this post from the mod, Kendra... so let me post it for you since the conversation was actually going so well before your post. I would think if you want to participate it should actually be factual and not the usual troll-post:
actually as I am incontact wih many creators and even test for some, it is factual except for my personal acronym for 'DSON' which was a bit overboard, but then some just read what they want to as is the away of the world. However the answer I gave actually answers the original question in its simplest way. Cheers!
I think the biggest non factual thing about your post is that DAZ users are a smaller group. That may have been true a few years ago, but it certainly isn't now. Also it goes without saying that talk to a lot of vendors as well, and it really comes down to the product you're selling regardless of the generation and who you're selling to. I think V5 would be a harder sell to people that don't want to give up their V4 items just because she's been out for years. However there's a increasing number of people that have came into 3D, looking for content that don't have that restraint.. and I hate to say it, but those people are replacing you guys simply because Poser doesn't have the content they want to render. Poser is a great program to render, however, that means nothing if you have nothing to put in a scene. And I think that's why Smith Micro and DAZ are working together because you'll be hard pressed to convince a newbie to plunk down $200 or more dollars just to render some older technology. And that's really what's driving the sales at DAZ more than people that don't want to lose their investments... that's certainly why I have doubled the sales that I've had with Gen4. Personally since I only render males, I'm not wild about either V5 or V4, V5 is fine out of the box but I can understand people not running to her feet. What she does have going for her is the fact that with a tiny bit of work in a modeler you can change up her look and body shape without bugging vendors to add those fits into clothes. If someone that can that can make extraordinary girls gets their hands on her, he/she could really make something spectacular out of her.
M5 on the other hand, is so much better than M4, it's really a hassle for me to go back.. though I did buy that Illusive Dancer for M4 and convert him to M5 (and made some gens for him... naughty naughty.. selling a male without toast ;) . Oh and if you didn't see my M5 holiday freebie on DAZ, go get it. ;) But it was easy to put him together and give you a custom body shape without all the INJ files I would need with Gen 4 and he fits the clothing without fits.
