Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Smithmicro is not a very good company, Clip Studio is the most widely used drawing software in Japan, and despite the huge popularity of manga while SM had it, it was considered a joke by most people in the west (they never hired competent artists to do showcase artwork, instead had amateurish looking stuff to promote the software) and Moho had far more animation features than flash when they bought it and renamed it anime studio, then it got stuck in time, flash caught on in features while still being the king of web content at the time, and anime studio became another joke until nearly a decade later someone used it to make an award winning feature film so they chose to rename it Moho again and try to market it as affordable professional software, basically the same situation as with Poser and RWBY.
Given how renderosity is now the de facto official poser content marketplace since they shelved content paradise, and how La Femme is front page and with red text on the marketplace menu, plus the bundles with poser at a deep discount, I insist that at the very least the base figure was commissioned by Smithmicro themselves, at this point that's probably FAR cheaper than to try to catch up with 4 generations of genesis figures.
Also, I don't think Smith Micro is in charge of distributing Clip Studio in the West now: Celsys kicked Smith Micro to the curb and they took over handling Clip Studio in the West themselves. Arguably, the program is doing far better than it ever did as Manga Studio under SM's handling. Imagine that.
@altlabrat I think they outright stated in the news article on Rendo that SM bankrolled the project.Honestly, since Rendo is practically dickriding Poser and SM at this point, they might as well pull a Zimbabwe and chase out all the content creators making Daz-only products. Surprised they haven't done so already, because I've often sensed -and seen- an undercurrent of animosity/resentment towards customers and content creators on Rendo who buy stuff for DS instead of Poser.

Smith Micro is giving La Femme free with any update to Poser, so no big surprise there. It's their new figure of choice. At least it's better than the total failure that was Pauline.
I remember the time when Genesis first came out and it's true that SmithMicro just lost the chance to become relevant by refusing to help support the new technology. They were always very stuck in their ways and Superfly came a little too late.This is now a Smithmicro bashing thread lol. I guess most people started off with poser and begrudgingly switched to Daz Studio when it was obvious Poser was not gonna support Genesis.
@feymarcher renderosity has been the "training ground" for people that can't get their stuff approved by Daz for a long time now, be it because the products themselves are subpar or because they can't get their renders up to snuff, if rendo went and kicked everyone that made DS exclusive content they would end up the same way as content paradise in no time, I highly doubt there's enough Poser holdouts out there to sustain an entire marketplace unless they become a much smaller operation ala hivewire 3D.
Here is a question if i wanted to try this new figure out what Poser program should i get that's compatible with her and avalable on this site , i see there are several and some updates for some of them so which ones ?
