Getting back to the original post.....are we all here? The older clothing for Vicky Three and Four is still great and surpasses the wardrobe offered for all of the genesis girls together. dforce, as buggy, half-implemented as it is, allows the terrific older fashions to be used on all the newer girls, and the new ladies sure do appreciate it. My girls are not into the new wave of sci-fi and fantasy weirdness. There are places where fans of all this old stuff hang out but linking to them, possibly even mentioning them will get me banned...again. It's not up to Rendo to keep these items here. When the content creator moves on or drops out, he/she takes their items with them making them NLA (No Longer Available). We need a determination similar to what the gamers pushed through. When a game is no longer supported by the publisher, AND a certain amount of time has lapsed, the game is deemed to be in the public domain and fans are welcome to it.

seriously? i agree there are some Genesis/Genesis2/3/8 outfits that are somewhat 'lackluster', but to lump the entirety of the Gen/Gen2/3/8 wardrobe is just a bit silly. there are outfits in the stores now that simply could NOT have been created with really ACCURATE textures back in the heyday of Victoria 4/Michael 4. yes, dForce is still lacking in some features, but please remember, the other main rendering apps dynamic system has had virtually NO updates or bug fixing/development since it was first introduced way back, long before i started with 3D ( late 2007). Daz3D has its quirks, as do most other companies, but their flagship program is continuously being updated and improved, bringing in more features and new tools very regularly.

i use both DazStudio and Poser, although the later does not get as much use as it did, purely because i cannot use my figures of choice natively in Poser, and because i love the renders i can get from the Iray PBR engine.
