Which is rather odd, because it's commercial content that they've stated cannot be promoted on their forums, and Dawn on release will be free.

Oddly enough, I am not even getting emails telling me my posts have been removed.  I've even checked under spam :P  But ... I get every single one of those annoying daily marketing emails ... and talk about spam!  How many marketing emails from a single company do I need in one day?  They are as obnoxoius as Sears.  (I like Lands End products, but now that they are owned by Sears, I get multiple Lands End marketing emails every day.  Including ... Last day for this sale! emails multiple days in a row.)

Once we have our hands on Dawn, we will be able to post renders in the "other figures" topic though .

As far as Genesis (I didn't and don't plan to download the crippled "Genesis" 2 as DSON isn't and won't be installed on my new computer), Dawn bends better than it does.  I tried the hand on the shoulder pose I requested to be tried on Dawn with both Genesis (in Poser and DS), and V4 and V4WM.  While it was a no brainer that Dawn would do better than either V4, she also did better than Genesis.

I'm sure there will be DS users who will have no interest in trying Dawn (even though she will be free on release) and that's fine.  The point is that there no longer HAS to be a schism between DS users and Poser users, and it's quite telling when someone tries to convince the community that Dawn will be a failure because she isn't from DAZ.  Seriously? Does anyone really think Chris Creek doesn't know what he is doing?!?

Quote - Interesting thing though, DAZ forums now clearly showing unusually strong censoring of any reference to Dawn in posts... even a sensible discussion in the PC members area was all deleted (no links had been posted and nothing anti-DAZ had been said, only speculation of comparing to existing DAZ figures).It seems quite clear now that DAZ are seeing Hivewire's Dawn as serious competition.
