the one thing with 'Leaving V4' is.. well what are you getting out of it, and what is it costing you. Is there really that much content being cranked out for other figures that is -that- much different than whats available for v4? Of course the newer figures themselves have lots of advantages over v4 BUT.. I find a lot of those advantages are kind of hidden once you make use of all your content (Ie.. clothe the poor girl!) Usually for me, the point comes to start using a new figure when there is a piece of content that I MUST have and its not available for a figure that i do already have.

THere are a few here who know me and my obsessive coveting of certain iconic figures of human history. One such figure is the Centaur and another is the Minotaur. When I was drawing and painting I did many images with these figures in place. I have collected furtively these same figures for use in Poser. I have been left wanting since Poser 4. Now that DAZ no longer supports Poser users with product compatible OUT OF THE BOX natively i see a Minotaur figure, the most coveted by me, finally available but only for D/S and with interface available ONLY with Genesis figures. When DAZ offshot from Zygote and started their much touted "unimesh" figures I thought back then, very excitedly that my days of waiting were over. That this new "unimesh" technology would now perhaps catch on allowing good content creators to start moving those meshes around to create new and exciting content realistic enough to use side by side with the more realistic Mil1 &2 figures in Poser.

Man was I freaking Wrong. When they finally got it right it is only for D/S and not for Poser. If I could wrap my dying gray matter around it and if i could afford re-buying all the content I have for use exclusively in D/S, I would but I can't so i have to give up my covetous ways and forget about seeing what DAZ is no longer offering the likes of me as a Poser user set in his albeit limited ways and with a huge lump of money invested in this hobby (yeah, I said invested because that is exactly what it has come to be). Because the heart can not covet what the eye doesn't see i go to DAZ less and less these days to avoid the sadness of never being able to have those gret little things i have always wanted to use in Poser.

I gotta say, that I did find a great solution for that Unavailable Genesis based Minotaur For D/S in Sharky's offering of the Minotaur for the mil4 figures and glad at least someone in the community is thinking of me LOL.
