" it is no wonder vendors still make skins for her as her facial features IMHO beat anything G3 G2 G1 have ever been able to do - "

For $38 USD the GENX2 Plugin can transfer ones favorite V4 Faces& shapes to the G1 or G2 female and with UV switching all existing V4 Skin maps are usable with G1-G2 I have completely recreated V4 & V3 legacy characters as G2 figures using this Plugin.

"Daz show you how amazing she renders and if I used Daz then I would be prepared to wait 24 hours for a render as amazing as they make her in there pics,

Not sure where you are getting this "24 hour "render time perhaps with your hardware config but there are people who have invested in proper NVDIA capable graphic cards who are not waiting "24 hours" for Iray renders but the same holds true for Octane or Reality/LUX users ..........its all about the hardware

"I prefer Poser so V4 is still the girl for me! "

Yes for a poser user V4/V4WM is still the superior figure to all of the other efforts by Smith Micro and other third parties ,but I suspect "Project E" may soon Dethrone the poser Queen.

Hi Wolf thanks for the reply -

1. I only ever used Daz to DSON over clothing fitted to poser for GF2 and have to say that anything GF2 or GM2 looks low key as opposed to textures for V4 etc and I find the actual figures to be great on muscular attributes, but doll like on facial and hand details just not realistic - I can't say how GF3 looks as I use ProDev 2014, Poser 11 when I did buy it was a mess the library did not work and it crashed every 2 mins (got a refund for this btw)
2. The 24 hour render comment was just being sarcastic as compared to a render in poser it is way too long and when I did take a good look at Daz as I have a good Nvidia card I resulted to using 3Delight as it was quicker and a lot easier to set up - Yeah I can see the results using Iray are quality, but I would imagine Daz's pictures are heavily photoshoped and probably take a long time to render - but in truth I prefer Firefly it is fast and delivers quality renders too, unless you are doing close up's of hair and have a lot of metallic reflections then your in for a wait (also word of note to anyone who has found that skin looks blocky- turn off reflections)
3. Oh yes I cannot wait for E Project from what I have seen so far looks immense - I am guessing that the clothing system that will be employed for her will be similar to the Weigh Mapped V4 script [ http://www.runtimedna.com/Outfitter.html ]

Just a final word I am not trying to make this thread a daz v poser one, I have bought poser since 7 to pro dev I just want vendors to realise that v4 is very much alive and combines both software users unlike GF3

Then if you do not want to make it an App war post, which you did and probably shouldn't have done, then please post accurate information as all three of your points are wrong.... Especially wrong is about Project E using V4 clothing, it won't and it can't if it doesn't want to be shut down by DAZ. Also if you looked in the Cgbytes forum for Project E, the figure has put on indefinite hold with multiple problems getting everything to work and was rebuilt in Poser 2014 (downgraded from Poser 11 because of issues) and now it doesn't work in Poser 11. Feel free to hunt down the thread there as I can't post links. But seriously this about if you still use V4, not uninformed posting about software wars so stop the baiting post and stick to the subject.
