Quote - No, I'm not talking about running Genesis natively, not at all and I don't believe Poser sucks at all and to be honest, I did not say something like that. The only thing that imo sucks are the figures and I'm not the only one who believes that. It's very obvious people don't like them, they just aren't appealing. I don't want Genesis, I want good figures in Poser without being dependend upon DAZ. Poser simply needs good and competitive figures in order to be more appealing and perhaps even in order to survive in the long run. Appealing and good working figures that from the go have the support of a good number of vendors so these figures can be succesful and draw people to Poser..... not drive them away.

You can ignore the call for this in the community, just as SM is doing for years now, but it does have an effect on  Poser. Poser simply is content driven, so SM should make sure the content is appealing to the users and has the support of many vendors. That's why I mentioned Hivewire3D..... the seem to have pulled off what every other figure creator has failed to do, besides DAZ, broad support for the figure from the start. Thus making it appealing to the customer.

This has nothing to do with Genesis at all..... I don't want Genesis and DAZ doesn't want me to have it either, but SM needs to learn that the real power of Poser is in the content!

See that's where we disagree. Poser ISN'T content driven at all. It's feature driven. SM is a SOFTWARE company, not Content.  The simple reason that DAZ is where they are today is not because they offered content. RDNA, Renderosity, and Poserworld were all offering content as well. What gave DAZ the edge was that they were the only one's offering, and pushing a particular figure(or set of figures). The other brokerages simply fell in line behind them. That's something that hasn't really happened again UNTIL Dawn came along, ironically enough, competing against the very figure tthat they themselves helped bring about. SM doesn't really do content and frankly, it doesn't really support the figures it does do.  But then, they've never done that. Once again, that's why DAZ even exists today. Look at Miki 4, one of the SM figures you say you like. Miki hasn't worked in a version of Studio since Miki 1. And SM has no plans that they've announced to ever make her work in Studio.
