@ basicwiz - Perhaps the Gen4 Figures are "over" for you. Gen4 is NOT a dead figure for a lot of us. I promise you there are still thousands of Gen3 users that refused to upgrade to Gen4. And I refused to sink another pile of money into Genesis (pickaversion). I just do not have the money. OR the desire. Genesis (n) isn't that much better than Gen4, no matter what weight mapping system is used for bones and morphs. I can tell you something else that really surprised me. The majority of 3D "Artists" that have gone to some kind of 3D Art school have acquired 3D modeling software I never could afford. Those people do not use 3rd party content. They make their own.
THIS stuff that WE play with are a tiny fragment of a very large industry with a user base numbering in the mulit-millions. Not a few thousand, which is what our little 'cottage industry' is working at. A few thousand individual people.
And don't even speak about the DAZ statement "Downloaded a million times!". I can't even count the numbers of times I've HAD to download it to keep up with their plethora of minor changes. Yes, Oh yes I started out using DS for years before I finally bought Poser 6. I do not HATE DAZ or DS. I do not HATE DS Users. Nor do I have anything against Poser. I do have somewhat against the people that are controlling Poser development and the same for DS development. Both have serious problems, neither are even going to be fixed in my lifetime.
