Well from what I have seen so far I would be more than happy to jump on the PE train, even if she was marketed at Genesis 3 level prices.

thanks for the vote of confidence hornet. Although this is not set in stone, like DAZ I might make her base free with the essentials so that people can get an idea, and then provide more detailed morphs on the side for a price (don't worry I won't milk your finances dry haha). The idea is that she's compatible with V4 at least. No idea if I can achieve that for G2 and G3

I like that idea a lot.  I think many users want to have a play with a figure, if only to see the potential, before they start paying for extras.  I certainly favour that way as I am happy to spend for a new figure but only if it has the potential to go past where V4WM is today.  I am not saying that Genesis was not an improvement, particularly if you use DS but, so far, it has never been enough to warrant the outlay. From the renders I have seen, PE would be my figure of choice, she is not only beautiful she appears to have the ability to smile that is reflected in the eyes and I have not seen that before.  If that is the base the potential must be massive.

Also, if you go down the this route I hope users would be a bit more forgiving than they were with 'Scarlet' but I have to say something tells me it is a forlorn hope.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
