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.

And, yet, despite your constant consternation, Poser and Poser users just refuse to die. It's clear how much that thought just burns you up.
