Quote - To go back to the original subject of this thread, which is:  "Dawn's Impact on the Poserverse"---

Impact?  Very little, really.  And who could have expected anything different?  Anybody remember "Dina"... "Renda"... or maybe "Antonia"...?

Dawn seems likely to have just as much "impact" as those figures did-- i.e., very little, if any.

As for Smith Micro-- Look at its home web site.  SM is primarily a software company, and Poser is most likely the smallest and least lucrative of the programs in its repertoire.  Why should SM care all that much about a dying program it bought third-hand, after the original creator (Curious Labs) failed to make a "go" of it?

Don't get me wrong:  I started in Poser, and Poser is still my favorite program-- but if SM doesn't put some serious effort into upgrading Poser and making it compatiable with DAZ Studio, Poser is at risk of going the way of the thousands of other programs that have fallen by the wayside over the last couple of decades.

 

And yet another DAZ vendor arrives on the scene.
