I didn't go for Genesis and V5 and I'm not going for Gen2 and V6. She's a DSON girl which requires that I have DAZ Studio on my system to even begin the transfer. I speak only for myself and my laptop--DAZ Studio does not play well on my machine with Poser also installed. After installing, opening once and closing, I went to Poser to mess around and suddenly my renders went into a crawl. Something wasn't right at all. I uninstalled the program, rebooted, and everything was back to normal. So no DAZ Studio on my system. And even if I had kept it on my system, I would not have gone through the hoops of importing such a low poly figure into Poser where I'd also have (from what I read) terrible problems getting clothes on the figure. No, no, and no. If there had also been a version of V5 that had obj/cr2 and worked immediately in Poser, then I would have been right there. But no, DAZ didn't do that. And they've not done that with V6 either. They could have in order to widen their base of customers (which in this economy you've got to wonder why a company wouldn't want to broaden it's customer base to it's fullest). And she's again, a low poly figure. I don't want a low poly figure. I was here when people were trying to make P4 a higher poly figure! I still have the first version of that figure in my old P4 runtime. I also still have the EVE figure by Trav with her early version of the joints that would be seen in the DAZ figures. And then came this Genesis system and it's a low poly mesh and I don't care how you SubD it, it just doesn't have the detail that I would want for my rendering purposes. So I didn't buy it and with money tight right now, I'm not sinking money into V6 either for the exact same reasons.
Now, I'm very excited about Dawn, and guess what? Here starting price is right where my pocketbook can handle it---FREE. At least they say the base figure with some starter morphs and I think a couple of peices of clothing. I'm hoping for clothing coverter support (because I can't afford yet to get Poser Pro 2014).
So, what I'm saying and others are saying, is what RGUS started with, for those of us who are hard core Poser users, V6 is a Dud.
