Separate plugs designed for each app. DS/Carrara get thier own version. Kind of eliminates the need to export/import between the two.

For the record, so some will understand, I don't use DS but I do try the new versions to see what is going on and I can have an honest veiw of the software. I'm also not one of those who thinks Daz can't do no wrong. Hex2.2 and V4.1 proved that recently. So I don't think it matters what company it is, there will be bugs.Ef is no different.

Sure there are those that go out of thier way to bash ef for everything. You get that with any software. But there are those that are having crashes with P7 and complain to find out that they are not the only ones having the same problems, they don't have to think why is it only them. It's not much but at least you know your not alone. I have a new machine, bigger, faster and better. I have had a few P7 crashes and the problem with these are,P7 crashes when doing different things and it does not seem to be the same things, which makes it hard to file a bug report.

 
"I noticed that the point that D|S and other Daz products are being supported via content channels was totally ignored. Plus, these features that are comparable to Poser's features are "add-ons" and require additional costs."

True, but lets not forget that so are many of the plugs used in poser. But no doubt that Poser is the all in one package. Between DS and Poser.

As for content, Well poser has more, true, But let's not forget that Daz gives the Starter package for free and the same with V/M/A3. Yes they are Light versions but so are the extra ones you mentioned.

"Wait, do you get a 6-month subscription to the Platinum club @ Daz with D|S? I got my Content Paradise membership with P7."

Thats an apple to orange statement. DS is free and we payed for P7.

"Let's also not forget that CP offers a new freebie every month to everyone who owns a legit copy of Poser."

Not really. It is only for P6/7 users and those that have a membership. Daz's is for anyone every week. But CP offers thiers every week too, but as I stated, for the chosen few.

As I said before, I hope the best for poser. Yes, I also think this is over the carrara6 thing. I also will wait to see what has been done with poser before I judge it. This competition is the good kind. It makes for great debates and better features for use in the long run.
