That gives them a commercial interest to some degree. But Daz existed as a company long before it ever thought of opening a forum, and it makes its own products. Daz is there to promote Daz products. There ARE no Renderosity products; Renderosity is just a marketplace that takes a commission on sales. It doesn't have a product line to promote in the way that Daz has. And since the RMP is 99% Poser, all the people who come to Renderosity for the Rhino community, the Amapi community, etc, don't see any commercial side to Renderosity at all. It's purely a community for them. Is there a flourishing Rhino forum at Daz? If you tell me there is I'll be surprised.
