Oh, poor, poor DAZ. 

As said in another thread, it's DAZ and DAZ PAs who wish to sell Genesis stuff to Poser users.

You might want to consider that doing so will require NOT pissing off Poser users.

 Ahhh!  Speaking for all Poser users are you?  If you are, then take a look at my join date here.  I am a Poser user and nether you or the others claiming to speak for Poser users speak for me.  And just because I also use DAZ Studio doesn't make me any less of a Poser user either.

Would I like Genesis to be usable in Poser...yes.  Is that because I'm a DAZ PA...no.  I want people to be able to use whatever figure they want in the program of their choice.  I also want content creators to be able to create for whatever program they use.  Is that such a bad thing?  

What company doesn't want everyone to use their latest (& greatest) product?  SM does.  So why is it such an evil thing that DAZ wants the same thing?

 

Is your join date supposed to impress me?  If so, why?

We are addressing our concerns to a DAZ rep, not a DAZ PA.  Do you really think that DAZ_Rand needs you to come here & defend the great DAZ from those Poser-using ingrates?  He is a big boy & he came here willingly.  He asked for it, & we are addressing our concerns to him.

If, as you claim, you want Genesis to work in Poser, how are you helping?

From my perspective, the way DAZ has rolled out the content creation tools has made your job harder, not easier.  And as a mac user, don't get me started on dynamic clothing or more acurately the lack thereof.

If you want Genesis to work in Poser, as you claim, shouldn't you also be joining the chorus of folks that are asking for a Poser compatible version of Genesis?  

I haven't seen DAZ make any effort to get Miki 3 working in DS, so I don't know why it is SM's responsibility to get Genesis working in Poser.

The concerns that some of us have (and as someone who makes Poser compatible products, you should be even more concerned) is the whole "app store" concept.  DAZ appears to be tying the app store to DS4.  Rand has already mentioned moving Carerra & Hexagon capabilities to DS.  Given DAZ's apparent coding skills, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

That SHOULD concern you a lot.  There is more than a few folks who don't like how DAZ tied CMS to DS4.  

The installer issue has cost DAZ PAs sales.  There were a lot of products that I wanted to buy from DAZ, but couldn't because I had no way to install them (OS9 installers).

If I have to have DS4 to purchase content from DAZ, well, I'll miss them.  And I am sure that 'Rosity & RNDA will send thank you notes for the increased sales & traffic.

From my perspective, the issue is one of control.  I am a Mac user, and I recognized this real early.  DAZ feels that they should control my computer.  I am not willing to give them that control.  I don't have a problem leaving DAZ behind.  I'll miss Stonemason & the Dystopia products, but I'll get over it.  

It is becoming an IF, THEN statement.  IF DAZ feels a need to add more tentecles into my machine, THEN I will not be the only one leaving.  

And this is the only place we can address our concerns to DAZ, since by their own admission here, they only want the assimilated, shiny, happy people on their own forums.
