I was one of those "busy people" who "bashed" Dawn. And Antonia. (She was excellent for a "free" mesh, but not even remotely suited for the V4/Genesis-Killer role her fans tried to push her in)

And if I had had a closer look at Michelle, I would have "bashed" her, too.

Like I "bashed" Renda, EVA, Roxy and whatever other sub-par, non-DAZ mesh is out there.

Not because they are "not-DAZ".

I'd gladly PAY $200 or more for a NON-DAZ Poser-only "Family" that is as capeable as Genesis 2 and adheres to modern CGI-standards.

What many here don't get is that after all is said and done this is just a buisiness.

And top merchants are usually more capeable of properly judging the quality of a Poser figure.

And if you can't convince them with technical superiority and flawless craftsmanship, they won't touch your figure with a ten-foot pole. Because its THEIR livelyhood they risk by supporting the "wrong horse".

So publically "bashing" is an act of self-cleansing in an overcrowded market. End users can only spend a dollar once, so every dollar spent supporting a "loser" mesh is one dollar less that could have been spent on making a "winner" mesh grow.

Alas, it's too late now.

Nothing short of a miracle would be needed to make Poser relevant again.

Perfectly photogrammetry created photorealistic humans, flawless flexible mesh layouts and superior rigging like I showed in the examples given in my first posting. (Actually better rigging as I'm just a hobbyist, not a professional)

Fully implemented edge creasing so I can actually ADD detail via the morphbrush on subdivided meshes.

Give me that, and I'll happily be a PoserPro EARLY ADOPTER again.

Heck, throw in true instancing and a GC based render engine and I'll happily PAY FULL PRICE OR MORE!

And then I'll change my sceen name to "#1 POSER FAN".

But without all that?

Sorry, it is 2015, and if you can't give me what I need to make great art, I'll try my luck elsewhere.

Nothing personal.

Just good buisiness.
