New Victoria 4 from DAZ!  Higher resolution! More dense texture maps now available! Higher polygons! Greater realism!  I understand that the folks at DAZ have bills to pay but the size of the current DAZ V3 figure is virtually unusable if more than 2 figures are included in the scene.  

As I look back on my favorite characters for past and present DAZ figures I've noticed that the best selling and popular ones tend to be created long after the DAZ figure is introduced.  How long after V3 was released did GND come out?  

Wouldn't this community be better served if DAZ chose to release (make that sell) patches to their existing figures that would make them easier to use (render)?  Yes with each new figure there have been significant improvements but these improvements have made them less usable with each release.  Who can argue that the gap between Poser content put out by DAZ and others and the ability to use that content has only been getting bigger.  

I made a post that if Poser 7 doesn't get it right then it will be the "final edition" of Poser and that comes from my frustration with the program getting more difficult to use and not easier.  You can't say that about many other hobby software products can you?
