I convert Genesis 8 and Genesis 3 hair, shoes, and clothing to my Poser figures all the time. Look, with the fitting and setup rooms, Poser content is unlimited......I can recreate (for my own use) any character made for the Genesis figures (I use Head Shop for Mac, which creates a morph for Genesis 2 F/M, but the product exists for Windows for La Femme and L'Homme)........... **Yeah, it takes some work. **
Work that 99.99 percent of the poser user base would likely never undertake from what I have observed.
And most of what you describe would be a non starter for any potential new content vendor, due to copyright issues, even if poser was free as suggested by the OP.
Genesis 8 has face rigging. Whoopdy doo! So do La Femme and PE
I personally think that face rigs are largely useless for the still render Portrait/pinup crowds that dominate the poser/Daz user base and not really any incentive for a content provider.
Except the genesis face rig now support the FACS Standard and there are Iphone Face capture Plugins for animated filmmakers to use Genesis 8. ..as does the Iclone/CC3 natives by default.
Character Animation is everywhere and those trying to compete in the 3D Character market, who ignore, it do so at their own peril.
