Quote - Poser/Smith Micro is not the one in the drivers seat here. If DAZ is switching to a weightmapping system, then Poser will be put in a position of "adapt or die". They've let DAZ have and control the content in Poser, and let them get a solid foothold in the software arena as well. DAZ has Poser by the digital cajones here... in my opinion.
I really doubt that, if poser/SM wouldn't adapt, DAZ would stay stuck with a huge amount of unsellable Vickies (figurely speaking). Smith Micro is the big party in this case, what I heard is that Miki 3 will not be compatible with DAZ|studio3 or any poser version older than P8 or poserpro2010. In case SM makes a real Vicky-killer, DAZ will have to adapt to survive.

Sounds like we're going to have a lot of NMIATWAS scenes going on. I don't think a lot of content providers are going to buy a new version of Poser just to creat content for a poorly supported character.
Or do you know something I don't?
