Quote - Just a thought.If we have V4,V5,Michelle,Rox's,V6 ,Dawn etc etc. In the V4 days ALL the venders made V4 stuff.
Who are they going to make stuff for now ?
I think those days are done. Genesis is a clearly a step backwards for Poser users, and will never be adopted to the extent Vicky 1-4 were. Unless either DAZ or SM goes belly-up, the market is permanently divided now.
Even if Dawn is a huge success and becomes the new Vicky...there will be two versions of her, a DS and a Poser version. Merchants will still have to choose, or put in the work to support both.
This is probably the best outcome. DS and Poser are too different now, and trying to keep one figure compatible with both would cripple it. I want a figure that makes uses of all Poser's strengths, including new features like weight-mapping, and I'm sure DS users want the same for their figures.
