Quote - consequently you end up forcibly becoming well versed in BOTH applications.
So you poser users who "hate" DS but plan on opening it "just long enough to run the exporter" will find you will be "forced" to learn more about DS than you Currently think.

And of course DAZ will happily count you all as Daz studio usersin thier marketing campaigns

Cheers

You keep forgetting that DAZ is/was for Poser users a content developer. They are now integrating the two together, making it incompatible with programs like Poser. So the main reason for Poser users being "upset" is the loss of a content provider and the market force it uses to drive other content providers away from making Poser content - not the features of the figure.

Having intermediate steps - like a DS4 CR2 exporter, DS4 Poser Format Exporter and a 3rd party Autofit tool - is probably too much for what advantages this new figure will give.

DAZ must have me as a customer for DS1,3 and 4 in their database. None of them lasted longer than a few weeks on my harddisk. Free programs have very little value in a market share analysis
