Quote - Well I just looked at a new item at the MPO and thought "too bad it isn't for Dawn" - and held up buying it. So Dawn HAS an impact. Whether it's large as a tsunami or just a ripple in the pond.. only time will tell. 

I'vew bought more for Dawn since she came out than I'd bought for v4 in the past years. But I have no idea whether I'm the oddball r the Trendsetter here :)

I do like Dawn and one of the things I like qabout her is that she's and attempt to bridge the gap between Poser and DS. That, on its own, ought to be applauded!

You are not alone. Now everytime I look at a product, I do look to see if it has support for Dawn. It is sometimes a nice bonus if it also supports another character like v4. I have seen several vendors that are offering thier products for both and I think that is a smart move for now as they also need to make money and a new character has to get off the ground. I am trying to support  her myself as I love her quite a bit. I do think we need that morph pack to make her more widely accepted and to encourage more character creation.

I think the problem with trying to mend a gap between users is that the content creators sort of split one way or the other back when Genesis first came out. I think that is making it difficult for vendors to support both DS and Poser for her, so they choose to support one or the other. I am guilty of this because with both a full time job and full time school, it has taken me years to get to the point that I have enough proficency in Poser to develop products for it. I am trying with DS but it is very diffcult for me to learn an entire program in my limited hours of free time, so in that way I think that there is still a kind of split between the content creation for Dawn, but I have noticed that despite this, there seems to be less animosity in the forums between the users of either program since Dawn came out, and that is a nice trend.
