I think it's too early to talk about Dawn's impact. Three months is not enough for a third party figure to make a dent. Some people are even talking about "knocking Vicky off her throne". Not going to happen soon and it's an unreasonable expectation. The lack of morphs, as mentioned above, is a serious hindrance though. As is the fact that people with older versions of Poser can't even use her. And let's be realistic, Poser users are the main market for a modern figure. Consider as well that no software lasts forever. Even Windows XP will eventually be replaced. At some point, and especially for new users, the thought of loading up on V4 fixes and workarounds will become illogical when the industry has moved forward.

I don't use Dawn much as yet because of the morph thing and the fact that I have certain clothing needs that probably won't be addressed any time soon. WW can address some of that but not all. But I will support Dawn as much as my wallet can stand because I feel the need to invest in Dawn and Hivewire3d's future. Keep in mind the amazing figure capabilities that will be possible 2, 3, 5 years from now and the fact that Daz will not be bringing any of that goodness to Poser. Keep in mind that nobody's even talking about bringing out weight mapped M4, K4 or even animal figures. Those figures are important to me. Right now Dawn and HiveWire3d are the Poser user's last, best hope for a modern family of well supported figures.

Keep the faith
