First, let me say I just read ALL 52 PAGES of this thread in ONE sitting (which included 2 meals, lol) so pardon me if this is lengthy and refers back to ancient posts... I'm tremendously excited by the amazing artists contributing to this.  I know this is going to be quality and I know that this very experienced team understands what it takes to get a new product/business off the ground.  You can't help feel reassured, knowing that this group of people have already seen and done this before.

There's one reason I think Dawn will be a smashing success -- the "kumbayah" factor.  Everyone can love her.  Granted, I've never been an either/or kind of person.  I use both Poser and DS.  I'm a pragmatist and I buy what I like from where I like.  And if Dawn appeals to that kind of pragmatist, she'll do well.  Also, A HUGE part of my decision to purchase an item comes from who the artist is.  I have vendors whom I trust completely, and those products go into my cart first.  I'm certain I'm not alone in this.  That's why I'm so happy with the big names here.

Quote - meatSim- For me, and maybe I need more time with it,  I dont really find that fitting room gives exactly production quality results.  Its pretty good but even if I get the fit perfect, the rig transfer still needs a lot of clean up for my standards ...

I have to agree with this. Though, that said, I've had many fewer bugs using the fitting room with WMV4 than standard Vicky.  I'm hopeful this means the fitting room will cooperate better "out of the box" with Dawn.  This said, I hope native Dawn content starts flying fast and furious once she's out of the gate.  Native content is always the best. > Quote - SickleYield - Though if Poser users didn't choose to make GNDA and Tyler their main figures, I don't see much chance of this bagging that spot.

Ah, but timing is everything.  The fitting room changes things, as does the realization that Genesis is really only ever going to work in Poser, except via DSON.  > Quote - Netherworks - So I have been fooling around with designing a Pose Adjustment Tool.     I also need to join a DS support group if I get into content creation that I can make sure is cross-platform.  Which I imagine as being such a long-term Poser users that's like a group of us standing around and shaking, chain-smoking cigarettes and drinking black coffee.. :P

YAY to pose translation.  One of the things I dislike MOST about using Genesis is the lack of pose diversity.  Having a pose-translation script is essential. And, really, you'll find DS is quite friendly once you use it more!  Just as in any support group, remember... "One day at a time." Lol. Oh, and could someone develop a product that gets MY breasts to lift 3" when I lift my arms into a T pose?  I have two words: Breastfed Twins. 'Nuff said.

I must second the STRONG desire for converting/utilizing other UV sets... The number of V4 textures I own is ridiculous, and I'd REALLY like to keep using them.  I'd also prefer something that isn't slow and cumbersome.  One or two clicks and not a year of waiting.

Also, totally OT,

Quote - Netherworks As in... one of the ideas of Dawn is to bridge the applications... like the Stargate bridges different worlds? :)

As someone who actually purchased a pair of Jack O'Neill's pants (yes, really, his pants, worn on-screen.  And did I mention I was at a real Stargate convention in Vancouver?) I love the "gateway between worlds" analogy of using Dawn in multiple platforms... Except, "A DAZ/Poser Wormhole" just sounds weird.  SHEW!  My brain hurts.  52 Pages.  Sheesh, people, don't you all have better things to do than post here?  (Says the woman who just read 52 pages of posts...)
