So they swiched to their own app because they were limited by Poser but don't intend theirs to be any better... Okay. hehe No Anton, that isn't what I said, I said: they made it so that the content which they made for Poser would still be viable if Poser dissapeared. Nothing about being limited by Poser, I said there was a concern that if Poser died [and at one point it looked like it might] then if they didn't have an app that would handle their product, DAZ would die too. They didn't need something better, they don't need to compete with Poser at all really [though it's hard to put the hours in on code and not get a bit competitive] - all they needed [and still need] is to have a program that is compatable with their content in case Poser is suddenly orphaned. If Poser where to die unexpectedly [or even expectedly] for any reason, then D|S would be the only thing available [as far as I know] that all the Poser figures, etc, could work on. It's not a question of being limited by Poser as long as Poser is there - it's the fact that without D|S they would be dead in the water if Poser ever stopped being there.
