"Again, not to say it can't happen, but IMO, it will take more than lurid banners in the Poser forum. It will take advertising to reach those who never darken the threshold here. It will take examples that can persuade a lot of people that it offers them something they want and need. It will take, again IMO, the active and enthusiastic support of SM."
Well said !
I agree the existing users are already entrenched in their respective position for the most part so this wont be swayed in either direction by any mass "defections" from one program to the other.
it is new users that will decide what program& figure gets the most market share.
And a word of caution to any merchant /techie planning to invest in Antonia/Brad or whatever,
with hopes of tapping into some perceived silent market ready to spend on your products
this whole alternative figure effort has failed spectacularly in the past .
If Antonia was a serious challenge to the -chick line in the pre poser pro 2010P8 arena she would have already made headway against V4 .. the concensous is that She did not.
Now if DAZ just happens to tweak their CR2 Export enough to get a Hi-Res version of genesis/V5 into poser with IMHO Antonia et al will likely take their place along side Apollo Max and forgotten others as asterisks in the historical Almanac of poser history as DAZ'sV5 Continues her reign unabated.
Cheers
