Terrific. Although I have bought DAZSTudio4 Pro and some of the Genesis Michael 5 Add-ons, I really much prefer working in Poser. SR3 is supposed to be out in August, I believe. I have been so hoping that Paolo would develop a Reality for Poser. I'll add that I do feel that the Poser renderes are much better than the DAZStudio renders, excluding of course Reality and Lux.

It's an exclusive partnership, we worked together to make this happening which is really great.

To integrate Reality with Poser there was the need to add an Add-on Framework that didn't exist prior of Poser 9 SR3.

We sat down and worked all the details. I told them that the old Python scripts menu was not enough, that we needed a way of installing plugins in a way that makes the process dead simple for the user. We needed a way of adding the plug-in to the loading sequence of Poser so that the plugin is available without the user doing anything. 

Plus I needed a whole slew of hookups in the Poser system to have control on what happens to figures, objects, materials etc.

They made the magic happen. It is really a fantastic collaboration, which continues today because we are constantly improving the framework. 

On a side note, I got to meet Larry Weinberg, the original creator of Poser. He is the guy who started all this. That was an honor.

Cheers.
