I'm not lazy..... I'm not impatient either...... but give me one good reason why I should settle for an inferior rendering engine when rendering for images for printing? Next problem is import into Vue.... while poser to vue works seamlessly with one click, DS to Vue is a nightmare. Next thing..... support, don't even get me started on that one, DAZ support is terrible, while SM support goes through great lengths to solve a problem.

 

I've got no problem with the DS interface and some of the features are very good, but to set up the same scene from start to render in both DS and Poser, is going to take quite a lot long longer in DS. DS makes you go through many unnecessary hoops and clicks of the mouse. When doing 'pro' work time is money and in the end using DS cost more money for a project because it takes more time to get the same done, but the end result is inferior to what Poser produces in a lot less time. I'm not even taking into account that DS crashes a lot more then Poser does and with every crash time is lost again. Compared to DS, Poser is rock solid.

 

I guess that's the main reason why Genesis is very unatractive to me..... it's made for the wrong application and to use Genesis would mean I need to spent even more time on projects, so to still make the same revenue, I would need to charge more. I guess that thought never occured to DAZ at all. They're often making a big deal about trying to break into the pro market, never realising that DS is one of the most time consuming applications there is...... but so is Bryce compared to others, as well as Carrara. The only effecient one is Hexagon, that one can get things done quickly, but crashes so often that it's still more time consuming.

 

DAZ thinks we've got all the time in the world and one crash more or less doesn't matter. The Genesis concept may be brilliant and I'd love to use it, but the application it's for is far from perfect and using it in Poser is even less perfect and very time consuming..... if they want to win me over, create Genesis 2 working natively in Poser. And don't start the whole technology discussion again, we all know that Poser can handle it, DAZ just needs to get back into using Poser again....... that may be the biggest problem.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
