Thanks for your honest opinion on this topic.
You, as a long-time contributor to Poser, are extremely valuable to this topic.
I'm sure you have to publish content to pay bills and so on.
I don't want to push anyone to produce stuff from their own pocket money.
I'm just asking you to share your expertise with us.
You say the Genesis figure is superior in terms of realism.
Would you say this is because of better geometry or rigging?
Does the way Daz handles textures make the difference?
By characters, I assume you mean whole sets of textures, body morphs, makeup, bump and displacement mapping presets, SSS material settings, right?
Would be interesting to hear your opinion on these questions.
As I wrote above, it's all about information and anything helps, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
