I use Poser 7 and Vue 6.5, and I also have over a thousand bought items for V4 and M4. Trying to "upgrade" to the latest Genesis would likely mean completely replacing all of this, along with learning a brand new way of doing things. That's thousands of dollars of software/assets and hundreds of hours of practice.

At this point in time I'm fine with V4, until there's a seamless upgrade path. I think she looks great, and my only real complaint is the lack of new products for her.

I think its a general problem with characters regardless of who they are. A lot of stuff is being made for G8 etc now. But when G9 or whatever is released people will end up with the same problems.

To me a lot of it comes down to what type of stuff you prefer creating. For the most part at least when I look at images with G8 characters, its seems to be mostly close up images which they are very well suited for. But if you are trying to build a scene with more than just a character in focus that is wearing armors or clothing etc or maybe some sort of comic book where you know that you are going to manipulate the final render anyway and might not need in your face renders. Then I see little benefits of using the G8 characters compared to using V4/M4 as they are much lighter to work with in the viewpoint if you need a lot of characters.
