Quote - Well....

...it's not that I'm not dissapointed with DAZ and in a way jealous of all the ready-to-use shiny new stuff they churn out for Genesis, but....

...it was not that Poser showed big technical progress prior to Poser 9/PP-2012, so I can understand DAZ rather risking to do their own thing than waiting for Poser to move on with better rigging tech.

It was unfortunate that just when they were finished building a figure based on brand new tech, Poser finally introduced similar rigging tech, too.

Now they are back to the same technical level, but mostly incompatible with each other.

DAZ knew all along what direction Poser was going, everyone on tne inside knew. DAZ just insisted that SM moves their development cycle to DAZ schedule, and SM didnt want to take that much of a risk and release software a year before it was ready and have a large series of bugs, patches and SR's.

My guess is DAZ investors were pushing to start seeing some returns... that is usually what causes major changes at tbe helm that DAZ had had in recent years. It is one of the drawbacks of having investors. Dan Farr probably sold them on certain ideas, and overestimated how fast poserdom will move to newer technology.

DAZ missing us, like any dysfunctional relationship where one side gets over confident and thinks tbe grass is greener elsewhere, my message would be, you should have thought of that when large number of us were telling them this is going to happen, but they thought they knew better, and treated us like enemies.
