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?<<
That is a good question, but because I'm just a brokered artist at DAZ, I cannot give you a definitive answer. Some people say that DAZ and Smith Micro were not able to work together well enough to get their content working perfectly in each other's software, I don't know to what extent that may be true. DAZ did want to take a larger step in their own figure development though, which I think is good because I don't know how they could have really improved that much on the fourth generation (V4 and M4) without some major technical changes. Again, I wouldn't rush to say that Genesis will never work properly in Poser, but it can't hurt for Poser users to have other figures to fall back on.
The upcoming MAIN figure will be the MAIN figure.
And Genesis was only a temporary technology demonstrator.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Or?
They put a toe in the water, to feel if it would be warm or cold??
ha-ha- and got a freezing shower in return... ha-ha-ha-<<
LOL, ohhhkay there buddy. :) I think it's already been mentioned about a thousand times on every forum out there, but the reason why Genesis doesn't have much support now is because DAZ released it with Studio 4 and before the PAs had the chance to really master the content creation tools and begin working on things for it. Yes, I agree that was a mistake because it's obviously given some the impression that no one is supporting the figure. Genesis content is definitely coming, the only question is whether it's real soon or "DAZ soon". ;)
