Quote - I guess this is an endless debate.
I still think that a "Poser compatible" product should pay attention to how it renders in Poser.
Sort of, but not really.
The term "compatible" is the word to focus on. If I buy something software-wise that says "IBM Compatible" (anyone remember that term?), it means that it would load and perform the basics, and to not have any glaring bugs that are experienced across the spectrum.
OTOH, expecting perfection and the exact same results, on a computer that may not even have its monitor color-calibrated? Nope. It's like heating up a microwave dinner and expecting the same bountious over-flowing image of plump vegetables and salisbury steak... or are there still people who expect that?
C'mon - it's the same story if you buy it from DAZ, Renderosity, Content Paradise, RDNA.
They're like IKEA in a way. You see the pretty furniture, but you take home a box containing some sheets of laminated plywood, a bag of screws, and a sheet of instructions. You don't see too many folks bitching and moaning at IKEA if the results don't look like the showroom or suddenly attract bikini-clad nordic chicks, do you?
