Quote - IF the newer versions fo DazStudio or Poser came with better/improved/super-duper rigging and enchanced features, but your older content is not going to really work in the new system what are you going to do?

 

I would abandon the old content in a heartbeat.

As my "poser fever" wore off over the years I came to realize that the technology has real problems, and that the thrill of looking at what some item (especially of clothing) MIGHT do and what it will do are different.

To a large extent the Poser "click art button" problem is a result of the technology problems. The fact is that the super cool outfit you bought last night (the you is generic) only looks good in certain poses, from certain angles and on certain figures. It is inherantly restrictive and unnatural. Dynamic hair and clothing helps a LOT but still few merchants and users take advantage of them. 

I have a nice clean Runtime setup now. I will keep all my A3 stuff because its so damn cute... but I have decided to not buy somehtign that is not dynamic unless I need it for a client render. Additionally I am goign to work with Sydney as much as possible because she better supports the technology of the primary tool I use - Poser.
