Lies - I've NEVER supported DS, and I've always made it clear in my products that my stuff might work in DS but I won't be bothered if it doesn't. I know other vendors who did the same.

Okay... now I'm being called a liar. :(

I will make one more attempt to explain what I was trying to say, because I wasn't trying to upset or criticize anyone.

I think Dawn is a pretty figure. I understand Poser users, in particular, have been really hoping for a new figure that would take advantage of new technology. I am happy for them-- this is a great dev team and I'm sure they will produce an outstanding figure and add-ons.

I think usage in DS is likely to be lower than usage in Poser, because Genesis has been on the market for 2 years and many DS users have started investing in that platform, but I have no way of knowing until next year, same as anyone else-- it will take that long to be able to say whether Dawn has supplanted Genesis or coexists or whatever. DAZ may be in the process of ensuring Dawn's "victory" with G2F, for all I know.

I wish there was a way to create a new figure using new technology that would work in both software platforms, plus others... one based on some industry standards that wouldn't require one company to license from its rival or whatever. I assume if that could be done, at present, HiveWire3D would be doing it, so I guess it's a lost cause. The last popular widely compatable figure, then, would be the DAZ 4th gen figures (V4, M4, etc.), for which content usually worked in both platforms even if its creator didn't intend it to work and wouldn't support it.

Oh well. I used to have to convert a lot of content to A3 and H3. I guess this won't be much different.

Please, carry on with the revels. I really am happy for the folks Dawn is made for. I'm just realizing that she isn't being made for me.
