DAZ 3D Compatibility Matrix

I thought this was a pretty good idea for keeping all the models straight and what works with what.

Do you think DAZ 3D should keep it up to date or is it a relic of the dinosaur age?

Also I could not find a link to it from the store.

    I guess the answer is no.

    Oh well.

    Honestly, it's of only very limited utility. None of the words underneath each character, when you open them out, are clickable links. It sort of tells you what goes with what, but for the most part, you can kind of figure that out just from names. If it has a 5 after the name, it goes with the Genesis generation. 6 is Genesis 2. 7 is Genesis 3. 4 is pre-Genesis unimesh. 

    As long as the compatibility matrix isn't a page you can DO something from, like click a link and get all the V7 characters or some such, then the page is only minimally helpful. And as a practical issue, since they seem to be adding one new Genesis 3 figure per month, at least, the table would look very odd very fast. So far, the only matches between Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 are Victoria and Belle. Every other Genesis 3 figure is new, which would make that table very long indeed. (Also, Victoria is at the top of the table and Belle is at the bottom, so people might never scroll down far enough to figure out that Belle 7 even exists.)

    On top of all that, even when the page was maintained better, it was effectively orphaned. It got unlinked in one of the site revisions, and became impossible to find if you didn't know it existed. (Actually, as far as I can tell, it's still unlinked. How on earth did you find it?)

    Thanks for saying something. I was feeling like a Maytag repairman for a moment there :-)

    How do I still have that link? I am the keeper of links to all things on the inter-tubes. You'd be amazed what I have downloaded. Websites back to 1995. Some people hoard stuff, I hoard data (easier to pack when moving and collects less dust). I'm screwed if the next zombie apocalypse takes out the power. Too bad pc data doesn't translate well to clay tablets, but atleast it saves all that dusting and lifting.
