What I think about all of this is :

the result of the new unsuported figures by Daz ( Genesiss and V5 ) Will cause to spluit the Market in two halfs.

Resulting that a creator specializing for one of the two sided will have eventually a loss of income of 50 Percent.

As for allot of people have invested for several years into Poser and V4 it will be a hard descision to drop the collection and start all over with an new figure, even worse with an all new Progeamm for hobyists witch costs as much as a Professional Programm.

The consumer will think twice on what he buys, also resulting the question an I gonna buy more for v4 if she whont be suported for the future !!

I think most will descide to stick on what they have!

As for the creators who do not support both System we all can assume the result for their income especially for a new Product witch is to handle with caution as it never will replace one that has lasted for so many years on a market.

Actually it is not the question who does better , who has the better figure who suported who ( Poser Vs Daz ) either one could not of existed without the other

so no Poser no Daz!!! No Daz = Poser not as good.

It is up to the consumer what suits him best and what he is gonna use for the future. witch will lead the markets direction and not the Producer of the figure the Producer only proposes a new idea if it fails he will need to change direction to a suported one.

 

Personally:

I Have collected eneugh over all these years and invested eneugh time on Poser so that I will not switch , even if it where for free, investing further into V4 or figures suported by Poser but not for an all new Librarie Collection Nor Programm just because of a Virtual Doll witch will cause to burn Holes into my Purse.
