Not sure if it was Novica or Serene Night that said this product was awesome - http://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-model-pose-construction-set.

Will it absolutely NOT work with Genesis and newer bases? If it won't, any suggestions? I checked W.H. Whitney's page and it seems the vendor is not designing for newer models.

I realize I could buy, try and return, but thought I'd simply ask :-)

    I know I have used v4 poses on the Genesis and for the most part if I leave limits on they come out near perfect, some need a bit of work, but more micro work rather than large work. If I remember things like ankles are a bit off and a bit of "balance" work as they sometimes come out with a bit of flow problems or center of gravity issues. They don't always look perfectly balanced. But for the most part for v4 to genesis they do get 85-90% of the pose done with some tweaking needed to correct the balance issues that come up.

    Now for this specific product I cannot say, this is just speaking of using v4 poses on genesis, I have not used them for genesis 2 as of yet so I cannot speak to that. I will let someone with more knowledge speak to that part of your question.

    For the most part, it will probably get Genesis 80-90% of the way to a perfect (matching the v4 product) pose and the rest will be user tweaking. Is my opinion. Genesis 2 no idea.

    Disclaimer, I am still new enough around here if I turn too fast I squeak.

    In fact I am putting it into my wishlist to think about, even getting 80% of a pose done quickly before having to clean it up would save a lot of effort. I will also wait for a full weigh in from others.

    @talas - thank you for the reply and I could certainly live with that :-)
    PS - LOVE your Disclaimer! Wish I would have thought of that myself.

    Certain points of articulation are worked out differently on Genesis, namely the feet and hands. Don't expect those areas to pose correctly using generation 4 poses as they most certainly will require at least some level of user-intervention. Any pose compatible with Genesis will work with Genesis 2, though it might also require a bit of manual tweaking to look right depending on the morphs you're using.

    Ok, that's what I thought I remembered, the ankles and hands a bit awkward. And sometimes the balance a bit off. So I was close and it will probably stay in my wishlist as even 90% is a good help for my use. I hadn't seen the product before so thank you McKinnan for adding something else to my wishlist.

    I use Many of the Pose Kits for V4 M4 and F4 on my Genesis figures. Then I use Handy Dandy to correct hand poses. If needed I hand correct the Feet but most times I'll not show the full figure so the foot correction is not needed. It is easy when needed.

    I took the plunge and bought it! It's the only way to shorten my wishlist!

    Thanks all.
