And then wait months, perhaps years until they eventually get fixed so they are one fine day maybe as good and useful as the ones I already have ? IF they ever get fixed, that is.
Genesis has proven that it is possible to release a complete figure family all at once. Women, men, children, the morphs, it was all there from day one.
You can't open a mom and pop store next to a Walmart wihout having a hugely superior product and then be dissapointed that people won't cut you some slack "just because".
Who says you should, Joe? Use what ever works for you? Some people prefer a chisel and stone to work on a statue, some prefer a jackhammer. Whatever makes you happy. But not everyone has your expectations or needs or wants.
Here's the thing for me: I first got into Poser because I needed a way to show the characters in my stories and screenplays. That need hasn't changed for me even though my use of the program has. I LIKE diversity in my figures. I'm writing a screenplay right now and I can go into my libraries and assign each and every figure a role to play. It becomes easier for me to visualize them as the characters in my stories. Just as if they're real actors playing those parts.
I'm not really into Dawn yet, I may never be, and like most people have said, without her morphs, for me at least, there's not much incentive for me to give up V4 or her accessories.
I've never used the "other" figure in that "other" app and I've never criticized the "other" figure, other than to say using it adds unnecessarily to my work flow just to get it INTO Poser, and even then it loses much of the versatility that you seem to tout so highly.
Frankly, I'm satisfiied with the answer that 9+ pages of this thread has provided. Dawn's initial impact in the Poserverse has been minimal at this point. But she has potential. And hey, I don't NEED a "V4 killer".
