Quote - good-natured source of information that you could be reasonably sure was accurate rather than a fair amount of heresay, conjecture and theory that is sometimes mistaken for facts.
Is that heresey or hearsay? ;)
Good to see you're keeping in good mood despite the wide-raning dissatisfaction :)
Quote - As I posted just above, we have been steadily moving forward on compatibility. There have been some interesting developments in the Poser community on our behalf with python scripting that could improve the Genesis experience in Poser as well.
But that is the Poser community - "us" if we stick to combatative "us vs them" terminology - moving Genesis forwards without your help, rather than you moving it forward. Isn't it?
Quote - As it stands, Genesis will open in Poser and as demonstrated by many renders on our site, you can get nice results with it. Its not optimal but hopefully that will come in time.
IMO a lot of misinformation stems from slightly inaccurate phrasing and then Chinese Whispers goes into full force and before you know it someone is saying that Genesis will open in Poser "according to DAZ". Genesis doesnt open in Poser. It may seem a petty point, but a user cannot open Genesis in Poser - each user, individually, has to export Genesis from DAZ Studio 4 (assuming they can, and are willing to, run that program) and "exported genesis" will open in the latest generation of Poser. I am fairly sure that the fact that a Poser user cannot just "open Genesis" but have to get, install, and run DS4 before exporting Genesis is a large part of the problem.
Additionally, as DAZ Studio 4 / the CR2 exporter / Genesis itself continue to evolve, Genesis is likely to need to be re-exported from DS4 a few more times yet. This is both good and bad. Good in that it will hopefully be a better and better Poser experience.
