> Quote - Genesis and G2F/M are almost the same figure, sort of like V3 and S3; all V3 morphs and skins work on S3. So of coarse there is no issue with genesis clothes on G2F/M.

For a start this statement is not nearly correct, S3 is a morph of V3. ie Same geometry morphed to a new figure shape. So V3 is the base figure and S3 is a morph character.

There are differences between Genesis and Genesis 2 in Geometry, rigging and UVs. Genesis 2 even has additional bones from Genesis in areas like the toes and lower jaw.

The main point that you cannot seem to grasp is there has always been an issue in adding cloth's to a figure that the cloth's were not designed for, this is nothing new. What autofit does is provide an avenue to use the latest figures with your older content. Its not perfect as said numerous times. But compared to losing all of your content its a workable solution.

A lot of the issues your bringing up seem to be more in relation to Carrara then Daz Studio in itself. Something you may want to consider is that in business you need to focus RND,technology innovations and development resources in the right area's of your business. To put resources into areas where you won't see a profitiable return adds up to business suicide. These decisions are the core of good business planning. Make them smart and your business will flourish get them wrong and start packing your boxes.

For example there are few area's when your a PA that are a bit of a minefield. Often you will see posts begging for more male clothing. And sure there is a small market niche for male type clothing and some items do do really well in it. But often the item is released and the six people who have been screaming for it in the forums smile and make the purchase. But 6 purchases doesnt recap the time and resources the PA has invested and its common that the PA ends up out of pocket for the effort.

So the point to the story is that in business you can't always listen to those who scream the loudest for this or that to be done. You need to rely on market reseach and analysis of the key markets. I know for a fact that DAZ puts a lot of time and resources into deciding the best way forward in investing in its current programs and assets. And no decision is treated as trivial when it comes to there customers needs and expectations.

Daz Studio and Autofit are both free as well as all of the Genesis base figures. They are all being continually improved and worked on in area's such as back compatibility with runtime assets, cross compatibility with other programs and functionality within Daz Studio itself.

Redundancy of assets is nothing new in the modern world and I for one am glad Daz has invested the time and resources into providing some kind of solution to keeping these assets alive in our runtimes.

Audio Cassettes, VHS, Beta, Game Cartridges all have faded from mainstream use. Really you can't hold innovators responsible for keeping your back catalogue compatible with all new inventions. 

Really if your the guy who collected 9000 Audio cassettes at $20 a pop do you stand out the front of the Compact disc inventors office and harrass them to include an audio cassette player with every CD drive device they make? So you can continue to validate your investment? Or vow to never buy a CD/MP3 drive because it means you will have to rebuild your music library from scratch. 

Or do you accept the fact that nothing lasts forever and kick back and enjoy the high fidelity sound of CD's and embrace the evolution of the media strata? 

Heres a little render of some G2F's wearing lots of V4 stuff. Using only Daz Studio, Autofit , some smooth modifiers and clothing morph adjustments. All free as part of DS.
