Ok guys not trying to start arguements so plz dont but I honestly want to know a couple things. First of all I have Poser 10...not wanting to use Daz Studio, dont like it at all. Also cannot afford the money or time to upgrade my Poser. I am what I would consider and intermediate user as I have done some nice work but am not real deep in the software nor is there time for alot of learning. Between work and school time is my most precious commodity. But...I really enjoy Poser and playing around and creating. What I am curious about...I use V4, I understand V4 and all my resources are for V4. By the time I was ready to get genesis they went to Gen2...as i`m thinking not to get Gen2 they come out with Gen3 and V7 now. What I fear is that if even now I start slowly investing in something nbewer than V4 they will come out with yet a new figure set. Making what I bought for the earlier ones unuseable in the newer. To me there re a limited number of vendors and a limited number of resources that can be made. So the more diverse the market becomes the more dilute the pool of things for each figure, its like the diversification means less for each figure. Soooo Is V7 based on Gen3F? there seem to be a ton of new characters based on Gen3f or V7 and then things made for that character line. Why do they do that instead of just making everything based off gen3f? Or V7? If you buy one of the spinoffs then can you use only the items made for thsat specigic one? Or any gen3f or V7 item? Can V6 and Gen2F items be used on 3? Can V7 and Gen3 even be used in Poser 10? If not then the rest are all moot points. If they can be used then for Poser10 are the new figures of greater quality as far as use and realism..ie skin etc/ if there is no perceptible difference in how they look in Poser10 then Id be wasting my money and time. If anyone answers then thank you very much...I see some great renders in DS but havent really seen anything in Poser. Just trying to make sense of this stuff thanks Scott
