Quote - With regard to the inability to use the Genesis figure to its full potential within Poser, and given that DAZ would presumably like Posers users to invest in the Genesis range of products, what outcome would DAZ like to see?

Specifically, what solution is preferred by DAZ and what does DAZ see as the required steps (and by whom) to achieve cross-platform compatibility?

I'd appreciate it if your answer could address specific issues, rather than something along the lines of 'SM needs to work with us and build support for Genesis'  - I'm looking for something more tangible.

Is there still some technology that either party needs to build into their code base? Is the file format an issue? Are there legal issues? That kind of thing.

 

We would like to expand the cross-platform support of Genesis and thereby support of our company. This will be accomplished through support of our file formats and infrastructure like Catmull-Clark subdivision that we cannot implement ourselves in other programs. This is why the notion of a good part of this being in SMs court came about. Just to let you know, everyone at SM has been a delight to work with and we are all moving ahead as best we can within the best interests of all involved.

The end result? Hopefully a fully integrated and native genesis inside Poser. Time will tell.
