Funny how it seems the needs are a bit reversed.
Poser has the tools for the content creators but lacks some finer elegance the "render only" users want
Studio has all the ease of a push pin, but lacks any ability to generate content.
To me Cheers makes a point.
"I don't think DAZ would have wasted a lot of time, money and effort creating DAZ Studio if they didn't think there was a market big enough."
Does it really make sense that Daz would spend three years and fully ignore two new versions of Poser if there WEREN'T planning on it being an eventual replacement.
The whole point, as we all remember, was to NOT have to rely on Poser. :) Peole forget that.
Yes not it is a fine freebie, but come'on. You really think this is just about a fun new toy that probably cost a mil or two and three years of full time resources.
hehe. People are naive. "It's all about the content Baby!" The base is free and cost is to be recovered through plugins.
10 Plugins later you still don't think it will be an alternative.
Hey look at it this way: when you have a Rendo Poser mod at Daz saying how much better she like DS over aweful Poser, that is a sign of division.
Just take the time to really think about it.
Everyone knows I am not a fan of copying. My opinion Studio is a tacky "poser lite". They are famous for their free LE versions afterall. Give away the base and rack it in on the add-ons. We all know how this works. :)
Considering how old the content is that STudio was originally wriiten to support is, it is tacky tacky tacky. No different than copying Vicki. I don't care what anyone says. Tacky tacky tacky. But all they do is copy anyway so it makes sense.
I think Studio is a fine app. I just think it would be more glorious if it were a matter of fair cometetion, not trying to create a glossy/streamlined "immitation of Poser". Think of someone making a copy of Vicki that uses all her clothes. They would say : "We can't allow it because it prevents the user from requiring the original figure. Well excuse me but where is the difference? Load the content, familiar features, supported files formates. But guess what. You don't need Poser. hmmmmm. lol Of course they are saying it isn't a replacement. Otherwise what would that make them?
PS: Does the STudio shipped content import in Poser4 and ProPack?? After all it isn't a repalcement right?
Forgive any typos.
