I disagree estherau. For several reasons. Studio, if it makes it to full blown application will be, of necessity, considerably different to Poser. So posts regarding studio sections. Materials, path reference, and whatever plugins are designed for it will be vastly different to Poser. For instance, I would not dream of asking for help here for the Shave & Haircut plugin for Cinema, although it does pretty much the same thing as Poser's Hair Room. The reason being that it's vastly different (and far better). Studio is the same. It already is showing considerable differences to Poser and placing the two applications in the same forum will create problems. Studio being the newer application and still under the "wow cool" factor will flood this forum with posts that are utterly irrelevant to anything. It is totally unfair to Poser users, new and old, to expect them to wade through umpteen posts about something they either won't or aren't using and perhaps have no interest in. If future characters are introduced like Steph Petite, you'll find out about it in this forum just as fast as in the Studio forum. That forum is for STUDIO, not Daz figure/cloth/hair/texture releases. Those will for the foreseeable future still be poser based because that's where the majority of their user base is, and because Studio is still only test-ware. Embracing both softwares is neither here nor there. I use Poser, Bryce, Cinema4D and Rhino. Should I post ALL my questions in this forum just because they're "related" to Poser? Or because I use Poser figures? No, there are specific software related forums where I can get the answers I need for the software I'm using without having to wade through dozens of utterly irrelevant posts. I'm hardly unique in this so I don't think this is a bad move by Rosity at all. In fact, for a change watches admin fall over in shock I actually agree with this decision of theirs.
