Quote - I had been commenting on a thread such as this on the "other" site and like all of the others they locked it even if the thread itself was not negative in any way.  

So I have my doubts about Genesis 2?  Those of us who are not Studio cheerleaders are speaking our minds and we are hoping that something better might come out of it all.  I thought they would have made a difference with Genesis 2, guess not.

I am concerned about the skin stretching that has happened when converting from M4/V4 to Genesis, and if that still happens with the newer figures.  

See; I am asking these questions to see if I want to push forward, and I want to see what others have gone through.  If I post the question in a thread praising the figures I will not get an answer that does not include a gushy response about how the figure is wonderful.  Therefore I post in a thread where commenters are both pro Gen2 and against it.  

You see, I am not endowed with hundreds to spend on these toys, as that is all they are to me.  These programs are not money makers for me, I sell art that I create with my own two hands. So maybe my heart is not into it as much as the companies think it should be.  

I have to ask these questions. I've no other choice.

Sorry to sound so negative but to see my questions and concerns be so easy to toss aside by companies that I once respected and honestly helped fund to get to this point, kind of brings me down.

Unfortunately these weren't the things you were asking in the other thread before it was locked. It was the same type of things that were said back in november when the thread was created and necro'd back to life; thus the mods locked it because nothing new was added to the conversation. Now if you had actually asked if there were issues with UVs, that would have brought something different and a topic someone could answer for you. However you merely stated that you didn't want to lose your investment and that you'd be afraid you'd invest in genesis and then genesis 3 would come along and you thought tech was moving too fast and alienating customers... that was covered multiple times by multiple people in the thread so the mods locked it.

The thing to take from it is this:

A figure should stand on its own. Not everything not made for it is not going to look good on a different figure; things may be compatible, not identical. The compatibility is there for "good enough", but if exactness is a criteria you're probably better off staying with what you have. Benefits only come when using things actually designed for that figure; using anything else will mostly take some work to get it good enough.

We all have different needs, goals and incomes to dedicate to 3D content, if you have a question that you're unsure of, be specific and ask that question, but don't repeat the same thing that others said multiple times in the last few pages several months ago. That's when the mods see that nothing new is going on and locks the thread.
