Quote - At least DAZ could build from the ground up and use whatever methodology was closest to Poser

That's why I doubt DAZ would ever buy poser. I mean, why would they want it? They've already spent time and money developing an alternative based on more modern code, so why buy the original? I don't subscribe to the 'Let's eat the competition' theory. Not if you have to pay $6 million for the meal. So that would leave poser's code, none of which is in any way compatible with DS or Carrara.

If DAZ did buy poser, I suspect they'd play it smart and hire the old dev team, then just carry on exactly as e-F, et al did, developing the app as usual and keep it separate from DS/Carrara. Maybe using the Poser SDK to bridge the gaps though, which would be nice.

xenophonz,

Nah, don't worry about being contentious - lol. I'm an easy-going guy, You'd need to be downright rude to faze me, and I know you're not that.
