Shadow seemed to be concerned that DAZ would be moving into gaming and away from making content for 3D artists. I have heard from at least one source at DAZ (take whatever you want from that) that they are not planning on focusing more on gaming than on making content for Poser and Studio.

LOL, you just had to get that little dig in there about not worrying (i.e. caring) about what DAZ does, didn't ya?    ;)

It's my job, ma'am.

Actually, I'm really sorry I missed the discussion earlier at -that- -other- -site- ... I would have tried to defend your position. I'd like to commend you on your bravery and your willingness to face what you must have guessed was going to be rather unhappy people.

I don't mean to sound flippant about anything, but at the end of the day, it's really all about what suits. My lack of caring about a product shouldn't reflect on its viability or quality. Before I got into Vue Studio 9 (just upgraded) there were a lot of things on Cornucopia that I simply couldn't use: they were for a version 2 generations newer. So, the same lack of caring about that particular product applied.

Same here with Genesis. As has been said, the beauty of Genesis can only be appreciated with the supporting tools, and those tools are only available for DS4. SM isn't about to develop any sort of plugin or addon or service pack to emulate those tools for Poser, and per Daz's own statement neither are they. It's a case of either using DS4 and using Genesis or not using DS4 and not having access to those tools for Genesis.

Seems pretty straight-forward to me.
