Zev, I'm glad you think Genesis is the way forward. If that is the case, you might as well stick to the Daz forums because Genesis 3 in not going to happen in Poser. You don't want Poser to move forward unless Genesis is in it, and you just basically said that for all to see. "We were willing" is past tense....

I'm guessing you supported every figure that came out of Daz, and now that many have left Daz you have absolutely no plans of supporting anything that does not come out of the Daz camp. It would not matter if there was a mass exodus for Daz again and another company sprang up, it just would not be worth supporting it in your eyes.

As far as to much work to do a conversion? I have never used Hivewires conversion service and do them with tools that I have. If taking an hour or so to convert a Studio piece of content to Poser is to much work for you, so be it. Considering I manually corrected Dawn for a SR1 template, I think I can say I know what I am talking about in that regard. I have corrected many other things from Studio to Poser as well, and it isn't rocket science contrary to what you keep saying. I have done far more for Poser "on the front line" than you will ever give me credit for.

Go stick to Genesis if that is what you think is the way forward. Genesis 3's dual quad rigging is nothing new, and was designed years ago to reduce memory overhead in video games. If using technology that old is moving forward, you have at it. Does it have advantages? Yes, but it also has disadvantages as well.

I will stick with using Houdini, Maya, Poser, Blender, Studio, etc. And use the programs for the strengths they have instead of wishing all of them were basically the same program.

As far as it being time to leave V4? (Which is the title of this thread) That depends on what you want out of Poser/Studio. I rarely use V4 and prefer V3s mesh over it and converting V4 stuff to V3 is really easy. I use Dawn, and a lot of other figures as well. I am not stuck to one wire frame, or the mentality that one could possibly be better than hundreds. I don't have a problem recycling content to use on other figures. I don't have a problem supporting new figures and have helped in the development of more than a few.

What I do have a problem with is knowing that people like you are going to try to convince everyone and their brother that Genesis would be a far better option than anything else right off the bat..

Oh, and Studio wasn't even around when V4 was released, so I fail to see the similarity in the business model. V4 in Studio used Poser content for years, not Studio content.

I am going to bow out of this thread and let you show your stuff, since everything you think is apparently gospel in the 3D world...........
