Well, she is here. Victoria 5. I am a bit puzzled by the fact that DAZ made V5 is DS only though. I bet DAZ have their reasons to lock one of their most popular characters to DS only. I figured out that it is in fact possible to export V5 to a CR2 and use in Poser (why didn't DAZ include a CR2 in the first place?) but the figure is going to be low-poly. I guess that's doable, but still, it makes me wonder. Are Poser users actually going to use V5 in their renders, or are they going to wait until there is a fully functional next-generation-Victoria available?

I mean, as a vendor I need to act on this. Most of my customers are Poser users. Is it really worth going to the trouble of making my products V5 compatible? Or is Victoria 5 so revolutionary that most Poser users are going to move over to DAZ Studio now?

What I'm really wondering is what the general opinion in the Poser community is of V5. Are people going to buy V5 for a lot of $, buy DS4 for even more $, export V5 to a CR2 so they can use a low-poly version of her in their renders? Or are Poser users just going to ignore V5 until there is either a new version of Poser that can import a fully functional V5 (or any Genesis character for that matter) or until DAZ provides a Poser friendly V5?
