Well, as usual, all I've wanted to do is start a thread about an ALTERNATIVE Poser-DAZ FUTURE (note the word alternative). It needs to be discussed, because the people
who own Poser and DAZ just MIGHT have their marketplace taken away from them in the next couple of years by GAME companies using 64 bit operating systems and software like nVidia's (hope you saw the very impressive REAL-TIME "DUSK" video near the top of this thread).

I think if the ORIGINAL Poser development team of Fractal Design folks were still developing Poser now, by Poser 6 they would be very much more in the area of "The Sims 2"
and what randym77's link to www.themoviesgame.com would suggest (a more ADULT and CINEMATIC type of SIMS game).

As hopefully most of you realize, while Poser and DAZ can go on making high-rez models and software that renders pretty pictures, it is NOT a major marketplace like the massive appeal that something like the SIMS or other new impressive game producers are now creating and delivering.

The people who own Poser and DAZ Productions need to SERIOUSLY consider the importance of the fast rising realism of games, game characters and the HUGE amounts of money this means to model-makers and character developers.

To ignore this (like it or not) would be extremely foolish.

And in the meantime- my MAIN point was that Poser model makers can cash-in on the SIMS 2 marketplace (and other game toolsets) until the day Poser and DAZ finally either offer their own Game Toolsets, or they disappear under the waves of brighter, more faster thinking Game developers.
