Then use the free program that people don't seem to want to use it in now anyway.
They want it to work in the $500 dollar one already.
And since they want it to work in it, they already own it.
Better yet why don't people want to use it in the program it was designed to work in, in the first place? They are complaining that something doesn't work in another program, and they have the program that it works in already, for free to boot!!!!
Oh, wait... nevermind..... I know that answer....
If Smith Micro adopts Genesis into Poser, it will boost DAZ's sales enormously, and SM will have to pay DAZ to put it into Poser at the same time. Thats a loose loose situtation. If all the Poser stuff worked in DS, it would boost SM sales as well, and in case you have not noticed there is lots of stuff in Poser that doesn't work in DS.
What if DAZ changes the EULA on Genesis so only they can sell products for it? None of it is open source, so they can do that. Where would that leave Smith Micro, Renderosity, RuntimeDNA, etc????
Why should SM pay to make their own program obsolete?
If it did the same thing as DStudio, what would you need Poser for in the first place?
Your line of thinking would bankrupt more than a few people....
I don't see Autodesk, Side Effects, Maxon, E-on, etc, etc, etc, lining up and adopting Genesis.....
Daz played the cards perfectly to get Genesis into Poser, they started it in the forums saying that Poser does not support it yet. Assuning that it should, and convincing many people that it would. Now they have tons of people complaining that it doesn't work in Poser, and that it should. Yada. Yada....
That was marketing at its best.
What they didn't plan on was SM saying no..... opps.... now what.....
Daz has most of their eggs in the graphics basket, SM does not....
Most don't use Daz cause they are too lazy to learn the interface. I did and I find it better than Posers. Even if an app is free, if the interface is intimidating, most will give it a pass. Most of these users are hobbiest, it took them long enough to learn Poser, and don't feel like learning another app, so they want it where they are comfortable in.
