Quote - You know a thought crossed my mind ,a rare event for sure but it does happen once in a blue moon.

Every year V4 becomes more & more obsolete.
Third parties attempt to patch her up with weight maps and stuff.
but there seriously limited to what they can do.

You can only patch up that old Ford for so long.

Maybe not today but one day V4 will become extinct.

That would be the day to ask about Dawns impact.

 

 

I am not sure what you mean by obsolete.  I can understand the old Ford where parts wear out and are no longer made but even here you could get some parts made. Do you mean when there is no longer any vendor support? If so, then just like the Ford you make your own, if you have the skill, or use the vast back catalogue.

I have no doubt V4 will be replaced with something better, but I have not seen that yet, at that point she may fade into the background but I suspect she is a long way off being extinct.  I also think that if the replacement is a massive improvement that it could also have a similar impact on Dawn as she is not a massive improvement, if any on V4.  I also wonder what the new figure will do for the average user that V4 or Dawn does not do today.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
