To make a completed 2015 CGI character.really not that bad. It's a lot easier then it was back in 2000 The Dark Ages of CGI. If you know human anatomy ,how to make good topology,C4D ,zBrush ,Allegorithmic. you can make a unrigged unmorphed Genesis3 in a week.

Ok, so if I know human anatomy. Well I know the leg bone is connected to the. umm. .something or other. Ya, not a clue really. I don't know enough to make bad topology, and most of the programs you mentioned.. well complete mystery. But, I did stay at a Holiday Inn express. Well, not the whole night of course, got thrown out - sort of a long story really. Lol

I think your right on the money though, the big hurdle really is the vendor support, and it's a very strange equation - a new figure won't get widespread support without vendor support, and it's hard to get vendor support until the figure gains widespread support without it. So really I think a new figure has to offer something that will encourage people to use it and continue to support it prior to it really gaining widespread acceptance - which doesn't really seem to happen all that often.
