Quote - I don't know that Poser would survive if DAZ figure support goes away.  It could, and should, but the masses would migrate over to DS.  The problem is marketing.  DAZ are masters at it.  No matter how good a figure is that is not DAZ, it won't do exceptionally well because it doesn't have the DAZ name attached.  Part of that is that people figure if it is a DAZ figure, there will be support of it in the future.

There have been very good figures that weren't DAZ in the past.  Where are they now?

This is just my opinion, for what it's worth. 

IMVHO, that mindset is gonna have to change. Is anyone really thrilled with the version 4 figures anyway? I'm not. They look unrealistic - even a step backward from the version 3 figures and they're, frankly, a nightmare to use what with all the morph injections and initializations and hoop jumping and everything else. That's only gonna get worse. Daz isn't the only business on the planet that has brilliant marketing skills ;o). Some enterprising folks could do just fine I'm thinking...lol.
