I would like to see better integration with other 3D packages, in my case Cinema 4D.
Kuroyume has done an excellent job with InterPoser Pro, which essentially allows one to host Poser (and Daz) content inside Cinema 4D--it's a very powerful, simple, and stable plugin, and proves that it can be done well.
I think both Daz and Poser have done a good job in extending the capabilities of of their respective packages, but no 3D software can really come of age without compatibility with other high-end packages--they all work together, and animators use each package for its particualr best abilities--one for modeling, another for hair, another for particle effects, and another for rendering, etc..
Poser & Daz are the best at flexible human (and non-human) models and related content--that is their particular expertise, and they should really capitalize on that strength. I started a (recently-completed) project 6 years ago using a free C4D plugin from Poser that allowed me to use Poser content in C4D (Mac), but if Kuroyume had not come out with Interposer Pro, I would have had to abandon the project half-done, since Poser never updated the plugin when Mac went to OSX, and Daz was never compatible.
Now we have Genesis, which is a great product, and I would love to use it on my next project, but I have no reliable way to get it into C4D. Are there plans to extend compatibility with other packages? Perhaps you can talk to Kuroyume about how to do it!
