Quote - > Quote - > Quote - > Quote - V6 is based on Genesis 2 Female (aka G2F). With Genesis 2 DAZ went back to the old model of having a female specific version of the mesh, and a male specific version (G2M)...

G2F is Sydney, Olivia and G2 Jessi and G2M is the Simon, G2 James, Koji and Kelvin crew, which have nothing to do with DAZ.    The males and females used the same respective bodies, but different heads.

You bring up a valid point there. The context of the discussion will definitely change the interpretation of the acronym G2F and/or G2M. I didn't even think to mention that some SM figures had the same acronym, probably because I assumed that pumeco new the other references - but then you know what they say about assuming something.

Thanks for the clarification.

However, unless you're shopping at Content Paradise, I don't think anyone will really be thinking of those older figures when you mention those acronyms, and they were not referred to as G2F or G2M.. just G2. Ok to mention for a bit of history, but not necesary to bring up in a a discussion of DAZ figures as acronyms have always changed to mean something different, always referring to the more recent ones.

G2 Simon and Sydney are included in Poser 10 and PP2014.   If someone started calling a figure "Michael" I'm sure there there would be quite a bit of debate, and it would be equally legal; Victoria's trademark was renewed, but Michael's for some reason was not. (I actualy got the information from the USPTO, but I can't link to the page because it's a database query, so this will have to do)..

BTW, G2 does indeed stand for Generation 2:

As far at the subject goes, according to DAZ Install Manager, V4.2 Base is listed as compatible with Poser 9+, and Poser <9, with the lower limit being Poser 6, according to the product page....
