Now, I'm not trying to be too critical here, because I know it offends some people, but here goes:

The Hivewire figures don't inspire me. I tried to use Dawn at the beginning, but her uv map put up obstacles for me (especially the face). Dusk looks like a slightly newer version of the Poser 4 man honestly. I did buy the dog and I have the horse and I do intend to buy the various deer because those are beautiful and I love the animal characters. If Renderosity can come up with a figure that looks as good and is as versatile as the Genesis figures, I will invest. But this is a hobby and I don't want to spend my time fighting with the software when I could be doing more relaxing things like making an image that's in my head :). I don't think I'm alone in this.
