But Does the existence of gen3 make gen2 or even gen 1 obsolete??…..nope.

Well if you're using DS then the whole thing is pretty clear cut. Use Genesis, adapt all other content to fit her, render in iRay and sleep happy.

It's when you're a Poser user or a cross app fan that things get a lot more troublesome. You can use V4 and live with the fact that almost all her content is obsolete and makes little use of current/next gen tech in DS or Poser. You can use Dawn and see her slowly fade into oblivion for lack of support and top tier content. You can use Poser natives or similar alternate figures and get even less support then Dawn. You can use DSON but get a figure that's a poor cousin of the one in DS. I suppose you could even go full 'commando mode' and start making your own sculpts or whatever but in that case you may as well move beyond Poser.

Or in short, what do you do if you want a modern, well supported figure but don't want to move to DS ?

That is a good altough frustrating question. I am leaning to starting using DS.

I have been using poser since poser 2, if i make the switch to DS it wil not be happily. I love poser as a software but this lack of new fresh quality figures is something that i can no longer support. OK there is DAWN and other figures and i have a lot of respect for the people responsible for making these figures. But as i said V7 is next level stuff.

Since there are a lot of items on the marketplace for V7 G3 i think it is safe to say that there is a growing user base.

This is not a good thing for poser.
