I'm so glad I released V3WM and D3WM (And I think I gave away one copy of M4LOD-WM and V2PreTeen-WM, too) without any expectation of saving the Poserverse from the evil empire of DAZ. Lol.

I made them purely for fun and to demonstrate what Poser is really capeable of and what should rightfully be expected from a "native Poser" figure.

I knew exactly what the "one-click-render" crowd expected so instead of "mad genius" rigging, I left the joint centers alone to make them compatible with non-weightmapped clothing without the need for any "cloth conversion" python script nuisance.

Don't get me wrong, that script, like most of cage's scripts, is probably sheer genius, but didn't you folk really know that anything beyond "load-pose-render" is way too much work for the average user?

Besides:

Antonia was a nice "amateur" mesh, but one look at her mesh topology was enough to give ample proof that she wasn't even remotely in the same league as the Vickys.

Combine that lack of proper muscle topology with more "mad genius rigging" and looks that only a mother could love and the result was obvious to anyone except those dreaming of becoming the white knights of the Poserverse.

Then you guys pressured Phantom3D into weightmapping V4. I warned him that he should only do the stuff he was really comfortable with.

He re-rigged her anyway against his better judgement and it shows. Her ass still explodes and her ellbows are like wet noodles. Then there was the need for cloth conversion and again everyone but you knew immediately that that would make her a stillborn.

Then Dawn. I mean, WTF? She looks like V1 before Anton made her pretty and then they claim her to be "made for Poser" while she was actually rigged in Studio?

Seriously, even Posette had better mesh topology. Before I resort to using Dawn, I rather use V1 or at least Stephanie 1.

Oh, wait, Dawn and Steph 1/Michael 1 were made by the same guy? How come he obviously forgot everything about proper mesh topology in the meantime, then?

Sorry, I knew that Dawn would be a dud the moment I saw her topology. (Or lack thereof)

And so knew everyone else.

Really, you folks must be around just as long as I am and you still DO NOT KNOW how the masses "tick"?

They want hassle free, one click functionality.

They want the latest, greatest Vicky to "just work" in Poser the same as she does in Studio.

Yes, they basically want Studio with a Poser layout because they can't even be bothered to spend a few minutes learning a new interface.

They are incredibly lazy because that's what Poser is actually all about!

Too lazy to model, to map, rig, heck, even too lazy to pose? Poser (and your creditcard) will do all this for you!

And then you throw that Nerdy McNerd stuff at them and expect them to worship the ground under V4WM's feet. Lol.

Sorry, but that's not how the average human behaves.

They want it all, they want it now, and the want it with as little effort as possible.

So, please, please, please can we finally put all that butthurt to rest?

Neither you, nor SM, nor Hivewire seem to have the slightest clue WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT.

They neither want dumpy Antonia nor soggy ellbowed V4 nor horse-faced Dawn.

They want something NEW and FRESH and HOT that still can use their myriad of V4 outfits they hoarded in the past. Without the need to run any conversion software.

DAZ knew that so they created GENESIS and AUTOFIT which can do everything you wanted to achieve, only better.

I'm so sick of the constant whining in this place.

Nothing you did was good enough. Because it simply wasn't "good enough".

And you have noone to blame for it than (mostly) SM for not giving you the right tools (I.e. a figure with a mesh topology as good as the DAZ figures have), and yourself for completely getting high on your own awesomeness.

Either PoserPro 2016 will have total Genesis compatibility or it's the end of the show.

You can bitch, piss and moan all you want, but that is what both users and merchants want.
