Quote - my point is that they don't have a common API (scripting and add-ons comment) at the moment.  and if they aren't in the same language, the programming teams couldn't share code (might not be able to even they were).  a common API at this point wouldn't really matter, would it?  because a common API would only mean new things might be shared.  it wouldn't mean (for example) that D|S could acquire cloth dynamics from Poser and Poser could get D|S's GI or SSS.  a  shared API would only work if it were based on common capabilities. 

i guess on the off chance that the common capabilities were actually the complete source of a capability particular to one or the other, you might be able to share existing features.  but i'm not sure there's even a single capability like that.  hence my statement about not being sure it's possible without re-writing one or the other.

but maybe i'm missing something.

You are, Gareee was talking about emulating features and abilities not sharing code, like perhaps poser can do this and SM can help studio programmers to figure out the best way to support the feature or Studio can do that and DAZ can help SM programmers figure out how to support that feature. in the process improving capabilities on both sides. but ultimately idle speculation based on a marketing decision is all that we have right now, nothing more than that.
