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?    ;)

Hi Snow,

Thanks for the info on DAZ. It isn't that I am worried about DAZ leaving its roots to try something new, it is more of a question as to why DAZ would alienate a whole sales base? I understand that DAZ has lived in the shadow of Poser for a while and they are starting to come into their own and they want everyone to know that they are not Poser. But why in the world would they design a new character that can not be used in Poser, which still provides them with a solid income? Like I have also stated I am not a DAZ hater, I just don't understand why they want to cut off their nose to prove a point? I would really like to use Genesis, BUT not at the expense of having to install another program, build my character in this program, buy an exporter, export the figure and then not even be able to get the full use out of it once it is transfered? I am sure that it is not their intent but I see that as a slap in the face for not using their progran in the first place. I can already see suport dropping off for the Gen 4 figures, I have talked to vendors that had projects in the works for V4 and M4 that have shelved them in favor of Genesis, projects that I had already had money set aside for to purchase. Plus why would you make a morph set for the new figure to use the last generations clothes and character morphs? If I were a conspiracy nut I would pull some theory about DAZ trying to force everyone to use their program if they want new content.

Like I have stated before, why is DAZ giving people the impression that they are trying to alienate a whole section of their consumer base? I shop at DAZ almost as much as I shop hhere at Rendo and RDNA as well as some of the more adult sites, and as more and more stuff comes out for Genesis only, the less I will be shopping there.

Sorry everyone, I don't mean to sound mad about all of this, I reall am not, I am just frustrated that a company that I willingly buy product from is by their actions telling me that I am no longer important.
