Klozen, I don't think it is so much that Daz, or any other vendor does not want their meshes used outside D/S or Poser, I think it is the inverse, that being that the meshes were originally created for D/S and Poser.

People who use higher end applications with sculpting abilities generally design their own characters or figure a work around to get meshes like V4 into their applications.

Meanwhile, the Poser market is full of users who are not interested or technically capable of sculpting their own figures and such.  This is what created a thriving marketplace for these meshes.

So, in other words, it is economics.  I don't know how many thousands of Poser users there are, but I know a lot more of them are going to buy V4 then all the 3D Studio Max, Maya, Z-Brush users combined.

It's not snobbery, it's just economics.

In the end, those who can use the high end applications to make cool stuff that we little people can use in Poser will always be welcome and encouraged to share their talents and visions.

Cheers!
