BTW, about the 4th Gen LOD meshes:

I haven't actually checked so I don't know how much of V4 LOD is in Genesis.

But if one is derived from the other, so what ? Older users might remember that I disliked V4 (And M4 and K4) just as much as I dislike Dawn and Roxy now.

Because I think that compared to the 3rd gen DAZ meshes, the 4th gen ones stayed way below their potential. I especially disliked V4's magnet infested rigging which still made her bend not really much better than the previous figures. Besides, the 4th Gen figures were the first to be rigged in Studio and had "Studio only" features and reduced Poser functionality. (All the scaling was messed up !)

But the mesh itself was the "best" (Or at least not worst) part of the whole 4th Gen mess, and in hindsight V4, M4 and K4 were "interim" figures that filled the gap until Genesis tech could be rolled out.

And after 8 years, nostalgia sets in so I'll look at V4 and M4 and K4 with a kinder eye.

:-)

ANYWAY......

The 4th Gen LOD mesh isn't actually that bad.

I weightmapped both M4 LOD and V4 LOD for Poser, and combined with Poser's SubD tech they make nice meshes.

If you want to have a look, I put M4 LOD up for download some time ago. (See Link)

If you have PP-2014 or D3D's Morphingclothes, you can transfer all M4 morphs as well as Hiro 4 or Freak 4 over to M4 LOD.

Bends just as well as Genesis, but is 100% pure Poser.
