Advantages of V4 over G3F? And where do I find V4 anymore?

I shop a lot at Renderosity, simply because I like their skins.  Skins by Tempest3D or Fredel simply look more lived in, like their characters have stories, as compared to DAZ.  BUT, I've noticed that many artists and merchants seem to prefer V4 over Genesis3.  Is there something that I'm missing?  And where can I even find V4 anymore?

    You can buy her in the DAZ Store. You need to buy V4 & V4 Morphs++ though. I think you can buy them in a bundle. Same with Michael, M4 & M4 Morphs++.

    V4 is the last figure produced by DAZ which works natively in Poser. Genesis and Genesis 2 can work in recent versions via the DSON Importer, Genesis 3 doesn't work in Poser at all. And a lot of Rendo vendors use Poser, or both Poser and DS. That's the main reason why they still support V4.

    As for advantages of V4, the main one is that she's been available for so long that there's a ton of content available for her.

    Genesis (the first one) natively uses 4th generation (M4, V4, etc) skin textures....

    Thank you all.  I've been wondering if I should switch, but I'll stick with the latest model and wait around.

    Don't think you are limited to one or the other, use both.

    Heck i even use the venerable V3(victoria 3) on occasion for back ground characters and sometimes primary characters. It's purly a look thing.

     

    The main reason for using V4 over G3f is how much ram each takes up.

    At present my full load v4(morphs++, elite, reby, NBM, plus a few extras) takes about 500-600MB of ram with a character applied.

    G3f with way to many characters, takes over 1GB per load.

    The biggest advantage of V4 over Genesis series is that instead of every single dial you own loading with the character, you can pick and choose what does and does not load. Basically you have alot more control.

    The next advantage, for v4, is the voluminous amout of stuff for her. Although you can use, with add ons, 99% of it on the genesis series figures.

    I've used all sorts of V4 stuff on Genesis, g2 and g3.
