Thank you everyone for your feedback on this. I guess what I will do is create a list of the items that I do use and include it with the submission for their information so they know it is legitimate content.

This is really marvelous work. Love to see that it is still in the works.

I had only recently finally decided to give G3 a try and I did like her, but I do think these upgrades come a little too fast. Also, the morph system comes in too many pieces in the form of specialized character sets. It is all very beautiful, but so very expensive when you start to add it all up.

My bad folks... I didn't mean revive Poser 4 Posette. I mean instead of throwing a LITTLE bit of money into the next Poser figure... and spend the rest on Poser software addons... I'm saying spend A L L the money on a new character that completely re-revolutionizes Poser as a 3D PERSON app which it was made for in the first place.

DAZ watched all that had gone wrong with Poser 5 and started making DAZ Studio based on Poser and then adapting from its mistakes.

Poser can adapt from DAZ mistakes with its people and make a kickass Poser-native character. DAZ's mistake with it's people is it releases a new 'primary' 3d base every 2 years now. It's stuck in a wash, rinse, repeat cycle.

The original Posette lasted for a long time. Support lasted a long time. This is what I mean. Make a new character in the next Poser that drives Poser itself for years.

With all due respect, Coleman, a new figure isn't going to fix anything for Poser. Not everyone needs a realistic figure that bends "naturally". I don't care if it walked and talked on it's own, not everyone would adopt it. Poser, unlike DS, can't just give out the software for free in order to get the figure in everyone's hands. There's no vendor support for the figure. Vendors follow the money so they're going to wait to see how well the figure catches on, which of course, is exactly what they did with Genesis and for that matter V4 when they first came out. I just don't share that vision.

And I think this is the main point that keeps Poser figures from catching on, vendor support and massive amounts of content by the software provider. SM needs to throw itself wholeheartedly into the content business for a Poser figure to gain a real market foothold.

I really think Tempesta has a very important point. In order for us to further her development, some of us are great at textures but totally suck at morphing and sculpting. I have long dreamed of a Smith Micro character that can rival the mainstays of the marketplace with a set of dial morphs for people like me that can make her a competitive market-based figure. I wish I were better at sculpting, but I have tried and tried again and have had to come to the realization that it is a limit. I would love love love to see a comprehensive morph set for Pauline or even your next generation whenever that comes out.

I just heard about this and I am very saddened by the news. She was such a great talent, and will be missed.

Seriously, I really love this figure and especially BH's Ana and Shae-- I really wish there were more support. I tried to do some, and occasionally still do. I wish others would too.

G3 is a really nice figure. I have her, along with every other figure I can get my hands on. Also, while many of us are Poser exclusive users, some of us use both programs! Keeping my options open means that I am happy whenever I see an awesome outfit or character, I do not need to worry about whether or not I can use it since I use it all.

Duh!! I feel so stupid. I have had Poser 11 Pro since it came out but I have been very slow to move from PP14 which I love mainly because I encountered this issue and could not figure out what I was doing wrong or if the program itself had some issues that needed tweaking. I picked it back up to fiddle around with it again today after installing updates thinking that it was some unresolved issue when it first hit the market. I am glad I posted this question so that I would figure out just how low my IQ is LOL! Thank you so much for your answer! Your fix worked perfectly.

Although I might never use this, it is nice to see that people who want to use G3F in Poser can now do it. Willdial and Lululee have done a very generous service for the community.

For the development of mesh5 I've decided to leave V4 out of the equation entirely. I repeat: Mesh 5 will not have a HINT of DAZ in her. No topo, no joint centers, etc. Nothin'.

But don't worry V4 fans, my runtime is still full of great V4 content, like yours, and I'm not going to let that go to waste. There will be a solution for us V4 fans, but I first need to get this girl off the ground without the shadow of DAZ's legal system threatening it.

BTW rigging has commenced.

I think your caution is well founded. Will you be distributing a set of templates with her? I love doing my own character skins and Io do most of it in Photoshop. I always sigh with happiness when I see a great layout on a template.

Honestly, this is an amazing work of art. I think she would make a great addition to the runtime, particularly if she will be able to use the massive wardrobe that I have for V4.

It is always interesting to see the work that people can do with the older meshes. Very artistic.

I think I am stuck in a time warp. Each time I come into the forums I seem to relive a day from about four years ago.

You know, I think you've nailed it. We're all stuck in a Renderosity Forum version of "Groundhog Day".

ROTFLMAO
