A quick check of the first page of PoserWorld clothing listing, 18 items for non daz figures, including Anastasia, Antonia, Tyler, Miki4, Kez, and fewer than ten for the daz figures, zero for genesis. Dynamic for some, that Poser can use. That's only one page, go further and you'll find far more v4-m4, even v3-m3.
Some for K4, the PT's, some for V4, M4, exactly zero for genesis, and no listing for genesis in the catalog. Support for the gen 4 and earlier isn't going away.
Skankwear, go to daz. Something real people would wear and not have to worry about being arrested, don't look at daz, there isn't much. Daz turned their collective backs on a lot of us, now we turn our backs to daz. I will probably make two more purchases this afternoon, then I will have everything in the daz store that I would want from them. Landscapes, not clothing.

How did Daz turn their backs on Poser users? By Getting off their asses trying to develop some new tech while SM wasnt interested and was quite happy with minor updates to their app each year relying on V4/M4? V4 is over 6 years old for crying out loud. Time for a change. Genesis is a marvel. We all want better tech and improvements but as soon as it threatens your comfort zone its a big issue because your app of choice doesn't support it properly? What has SM done to improve figures? Release WM capabilities so they can recycle their old figures? At least Daz is attempting to get Genesis to work in Poser something they don't have to do. And if Daz was soo worried about loosing the Poser customer base, they would still push V4 content. I use Both Apps, Poser for some, and Daz for Genesis. Stop with this app loyalty shit. It's downright stupid.
Why some keep bringing up the same tired stale useless "old technology" is beyond me. My truck is now nine years old, and I have no immediate plan to drop it for the next ballyhoo job of any manufacturer. It has less than thirty thousand miles on it, I'll be driving it for a long time to come, it gets me there and brings me home. It ain't no status symbol.
Genesis is a marvel, like the tube sock of years ago. "One size fits all" What they forgot was "One size fits all poorly".
In my opinion, and for what that's worth, there's a reason DS had a price that was only twenty dollars less than Poser and now it's free. It's called bailing the daz butt out while they still had a company left to bail out. A techinical success does not automatically equate to a financial success. Most of my female figures are going to have on at least knee length dresses, dynamic cloth, Poser compatible. What do I care if the bends I'll never see aren't perfect?
I stilll use my old Starrett #436P micrometers that I bought in 1967. I hear a lot of guys saying "But the digitals are so much better." What they mean is they never learned to read a micrometer and with digital, they don't have to. They only have to replace them every five years. Genesis vs V4, same argument.

Umm, Daz can afford to give its app away for free, because it makes its money from content. All their previous versions before was free. You can't give something away for free and then expect people to pay a heavy price for it. So its logical why people didn't buy it. And it did not hurt them financially at all. Can Poser do that? Nooo. Where will they get their money from? Certainly not from content lol. Poser's only income comes from its app and content sales for its extinct figures, which isn't much. How many people buy the Poser app on a regular basis as apposed to content? See the difference in financial gain?
