Yes, the company has changed in growth and in mission As has CL, upon whose product this community and many of DAZ's products are based. Also, because the market is SO saturated with product, DAZ as a business has to develop other ways to keep afloat. DAZ Studio is one of those solutions. I try to stay quiet in the forums, but when I see unfairness I feel I have to speak out. Yes, I am a broker at DAZ, but this is not being said because they "give me a paycheck." With only two products there, you can't exactly say that I'm making money hand over fist. However, being a broker at DAZ allows me to see a side of these people that a lot of community members don't see. They are NICE, DECENT, hard working people who really CARE about what they do ... even though there are a lot of people here don't think so. These are hard times ... times when EVERYONE is forced to change in growth and mission. DAZ is a business that is made of people who work hard, as CL was when they were developing Poser 5. Those people worked for weeks on end without pay while people in this community demanded more features faster ... and look what happened. >> Anton creating a new male figure, Daz is gunna too and Daz didn't want to give Anton info on Daz Studio to help him get his model working in Daz Studio I don't know anything "from the inside" about this situation, so I am only commenting on what I saw on the outside. And, from what I saw, Anton didn't make any mention of his male figure until after he left DAZ, so I'm assuming he started it then, when he was planning on opening his own site. Additionally, DAZ has not made mention to any brokers about DAZ Studio features yet, as far as I know. But is that because they are conspiring to keep everything to themselves? No, I'm sorry, it's standard practice to keep those things quiet during software development, because ANYTHING can change before release. Want proof? Again, reflect back on the pre-Poser 5 release era. We as members of this community owe it to eachother to respect people's feelings. As far as I am concerned there are WAY too many witchhunts, which is one reason I try to keep so quiet. But when I see nice people being attacked, I have to stand up for them. It seems the right thing to do.
