While it's great to see some vendor response to this I believe there might be some misunderstanding as to what I have implied as to the definition of "tested". As previously mention specific D|S material presets are not expected, most Studio users simply want to know if the product will load properly and be usable. Five to ten minutes of testing tops. Just a simple loading and quick render would do the trick.

Yes, D|S is material/shader challenged. The burden of this falls on the artist and I personally don't expect every vendor to slave over more material tinkering in a different app. Only a quick test as I mentioned above to see if it will be usable then a short mention of it on the product description. Something like -

*Works in DAZ|Studio but will require some surface editing.

*or

*Will not work in DAZ|Studio due to _________________.

*I really don't think that's asking for that much more extra work for what could turn into some extra sales. For what it's worth I rarely use the D|S presets that come with DAZ sold products, most are little more than starting points but there are a few exceptions.

For the record I don't expect anyone to... ahem... artificially cripple their products nor do I think they would be crippled as it is. They might actually look pretty darn good in the right hands. Artists are more powerful than applications when they try to be.
