Ah - didn't know they pitched the AM stuff...

Sounds kinda stupid, IMHO.

I mean, real stupid. Yeah, Terai Yuki is the sh!t IMHO as far as meshes/figures go (though not as much as my current fave --A3+XinXin-- but still a damned sight better than almost all other meshes of that genre)...

But, I somehow don't see a sudden surge in supporting products for TY2 just because there's no A3 stuff around in the CP. Same goes with AM... James ain't gonna get more popular just because Smith Micro decides that AM officially doesn't exist.

Same with Miki, G2 male/female, any of 'em - the content determines the market's viability, not the other way around.

I can understand DAZ being shy about not supporting non-DAZ figures, because their core biz is still, well, selling DAZ figures and the goodies to go with 'em.

But the CP? It's not like the entire Poser-using public is suddenly going to forget that there's 3rd-party (read: Vicky) figures about. If anything, Smith Micro needs to get cozy with the likes of DAZ and RDNA (especially RDNA, who have been more faithful to default Poser stuff than anyone else outside of the CP itself).

Basically, Smith Micro needs to get back to being neutral (like Poser used to be back in the day), providing just enough to make a starter kit of sorts, then point to the 3rd-party market to let it determine what happens from there.
