If you expect all that, then what's the damned point? Just stick with V4.

Plus, most of that is beyond the means/abilities and legalities of most content artists. Content artists are not coders. So without the tech being built directly into Poser, or a 3rd party script, it would flat out be illegal for content artists to try doing that. The only ones that can make a figure compatible with V4 content are Daz.

A lot of that old content would - and does - look like crap on a modern figure anyway. The CG equivalent of wearing your older siblings old hand-me-downs - a bit short in the arms and legs and don't quite fit.

And most figures are not built with the intention of being the end-all for their creator, financially. They're intended to be a new platform for new, better content, not a recycle bin.

That's why I agree with Wolf. Right now, DAZ has no financial incentive to come out with a figure to kill it's own creation. Genesis was supposed to do that and even it couldn't do the deed. Genesis was a non-starter with me for several reasons, but now, I've just lost interest. Dawn And Dusk are the only figures that have come out in the last five years or so that's caught and kept my attention to any appreciable degree and I'm happy with that... for now.
