I pop in and out of the poserverse as other projects permit - so I have a sort of "strobe light" look at the place. I notice changes I might not see if I were in it every day. The quality overall at Daz isn't great - and it used to be. There was a time when something you bought from Daz would be spot on. It was, really, the REASON to stay Daz only. You know it would work, you know all the morphs would match and so on. Thats not true anymore. Daz's decision to seperate itself from the Poser mainstream was a bad one... and it is only getting worse. They are fairly marginal now. They only support their own figures, and most of those are irrelevant as far as the market goes. V3 is still important as is A3 and M3 to an extent. But where they used to stand alone we now have Apollo (a M3 killer), Terai and Mikki. Daz is outside the Poser market now, instead of defining it. Content Paradise has always had the potential to shake up the Poser content world... a single source store was always a great idea. Even back when people laughed at the idea :) Honestly if it wasn't for how much I like A3 I would probably write Daz off, switch to Terai Yuki (I think Mikki is seriously ugly) and be done with it. The only reason I look at V3 these days is the stuff As Shanim is doing with her - but honestly since the demo figure isn't released for sale its pointless.
