Quote - I go where i can get what I need - not as principled as some maybe, but the fact I buy what I use is good enough for my conscience  ;)

I totally agree and everyone's conscience is theirs and varies from person to person.  On princple I only give my custom to the companies I feel deserve it.  I follow this policy on everything I buy not just 3D.  I love sports but in the UK sports TV are often broadcast by a company who's ethics I dislike, if the coverage is only on that company's channels, I do without the sports coverage.  To many that will be extreme but at the end of the day it is my conscience I answer to and I do not condem anyone for following their conscience

While my early submission was critical of Daz it was more aimed at trying to encourage a company policy that, to me at least, appears to be going in the right direction.

I understand that others would like to get back to subject of Dawn and I am very interested indeed at what is happening here and it is much wider than just Dawn. It may well be theddawn of a new day. Perhaps we should split the thread or move the wider issue to the 'Of interest to Poser' thread, but even that is limiting because I feel this is of interest to Daz users and the wider community.

I also apologise if it appears I am knocking Daz and I am not looking to upset anyone, what I am stating is what has happened to change my 3D buying habits over the last few years.    I may be alone, I may be one of many, but I am what I am.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
