I use V4 for 90% of the images I create. I love the figure and have a MASSIVE runtime for it.

I have Just started getting in to using Genesis 1 in my work.  The figure does have fantastic Versatility, The UV swapping, the morphing ability, dynamic morph injection, weight mappping etc, Really are great. 

I think though that Genesis makes for far better monsters and Male characters than it does for Female ones.

However Genesis 2, is a fantastic figure. The subtle details are excellent, the bends are much improved, expressions are more realistc, you can see that it COULD be a wonderful platform for Realistic Female figures, and I was REALLY excited about what I saw in the Figure...particularly with the additional morph support from the P.A.'s

But do you know what, I HAVE NOT BOUGHT HER YET.... why???...because of the way DAZ has handled the release of this figure.  Some key compatability and functionality has been lost, indeed not even addressed by DAZ.

Its like they have just thrown her out onto the market place without proper regard or understanding of their customers, in an almost take it or leave it fashion.

Its understandable why many view this figure as just another cash cow for Daz to wring more money out of their customers.

I would buy into Genesis 2 and V6 in a second, if I believed in DAZ the company. 

If I was confident that this figure would be properly nurtured and the views of, and wants of THEIR customers, acknowledged and acted upon.

But alas I am not confident, and that is a failing more of DAZ as an organisation, than of GENESIS 2 itself.

S.K.
