Seriously Wolf, it's not fair to call the Poser characters crap.  I'm sick'n'tired of seeing DAZ characters that almost always look the same, effeminate males, and women that look like they have an eye problem thanks to that idiotic bead of liquid they have under the eye.  Poser males look like males, the women sometimes not so clever in previous releases, but in general I get more satisfation out of looking at a Poser figure than a DAZ one, they have more character.

The latest sculpts, Rex and Roxie are very good, the faces look way more human to me than the default DAZ faces do, I used Roxie in my avatar for a reason, and believe it or not, there's no custom sculpting involved, that's default Roxie, just as Teyon made her - the figure who's face people keep mocking for reasons I still haven't figured out.  I wouldn't dream of using a default DAZ character as my avatar, they look totally inhuman to me, but Roxie is good enough even by default.

People need to stop blaming the figure and learn how to light and angle stuff.
Rex and Roxie are good, human-looking sculpts!

I aggree mostly, but we need better default shapes for native Poser figures. Neither skinny nor fat, neither trimmed nor pear, nor sausage limbs or toons.  Genesis II is much way better there. Genesis creators just seem to have better sculpting skills. Sorry.

Don't get me wrong, I like Roxie, but we also need more new technologie involved in Poser native figures. I am thinking here of geocrafting conformings and I am hoping on a node based JCM-management system, in order to achieve different JCMs blend in nicely, when they are combined.

I have been working with Roxie from PP2014 release on, added a ton of JCMs and FBMs, but I have now reached the limit of what I can do wth her, AND still Genesis II works so much better.

I'd really prefer to rely completly on native Poser figures, but till now it doesn't work for me.

To stay happy with Poser I need both: A good software and good figures.
