It may be that the latest version of Poser has the tools to support a simple/effective transfer of Dawn clothing content to V4 and vice versa.  If so, that certainly makes Dawn more compelling for those users.  However, many people still have a significant investment in V4 poses and unless there is a tool for that...

As for Genesis, I still like the overall concept of having a unisex figure that can morph into lots of different shapes and still allow the fitted content to morph with it.  I simply think it was not implemented well and this has created issues that are adversely affecting us all. 

Some questions in my mind:

• What would we see now if Genesis had been released with native support for both DS and Poser? I think Dawn is evidence that such a thing is possible.

• What would the effect have been if Genesis had been released as a unisex figure without some of the shortcomings that DAZ is now trying correct?

• What would the effect have been if Genesis had true backward compatibility with Gen4 content/poses?
