Quote - I am not sure what is meant by dead horses.  Is this an opinion that Poser is dead, lame, invulnerable, or what?

I am digitally challenged and have a runtime over 600 GB in Poser going back 11 years.  The prospect of this all drying up like TrueSpace or 3DS is not a happy thing. 

 

Iwould not worry. As open as the Poser file structure is, there is considerable life left in the application. There has been more new figures created in the past 2 years than in the previous 5 years before that. Mesh does not expire or go bad; content from 11 years ago is as useable today as it was then. True, DAZ has effectively tossed the Poser community aside to focus on its genesis figure.....that was their choice. Just like it was Smith Micro's choice to not tie the Poser app to proprietary tech. If you go to Hivewire 3D, you will find a lot of names that -used- to work for DAZ....and who made the new Dawn figure.

The phrase 'beating a dead horse' is a colloquialism for having the same argument over and over and over and over and..... Who is 'winning' and who is 'losing' has been argued out in numerous threads (a lot of them locked due to the tone and some personal attacks). It originated from a saying that no matter how hard you beat a dead horse, it will not get up and run again.
