Which gets to the point of why I use Genesis. And Poser may well do the same thing, if it does, no commercial PA is using it. It isn't the out of the box figure, it's the morphing ability. I do comics, and I need loads of odd creatures for them. The point of Genesis is that you can morph it into about any shape you want, and most of the clothes and accessories will auto-follow. Not to the point of realism in extreme shapes, but If I put an Ogre in a Tuxedo or a Ballet Outfit I am not looking for photo realism. Rawart and Joe Quick are masters at making that base shape do anything they want, and there are others almost as good. If a stand alone figure has loads of support, I use them also. Hein and Frankie come to mind. But if I want to dress up a frog I use Genesis and the Joe Quick Frog, If I want one just to do the Warner Brothers thing in the Tophat I use Toon Frog - there is very little else it can wear. For the type of work I do, that's what I would need to come back to Poser. It wouldn't mean you have to import Genesis, though that is one way of getting there. It does mean you need that class of object, and the scripts that go with it.
For those of us that buy the content though, that's what we are looking for. We don't have time to create the objects, we want to do pictures or illustrated stories or movies, we aren't going to take the time to make much in the way of content. If Rendo wants to increase the Poser user base it's going to need to keep that in mind. The tools for the content creators need to be there and be good. But if the content creators want to sell content they need to have somebody to sell it to. That would be people like me.
Actually, La Femme and her content are selling very well. She has plenty of customers which is why vendors keep producing content for her.
Now, that's not to say we would turn away anyone who wishes to ride the train, but she's an extremely popular figure.
