Quote - I'd like Dawn to succeed as well but I am not so convinced that having a figure that can work with both programs was such a good idea. My main problem is I do not see the what group of people they are marketing to. Many Poser users do not use Daz studio for different reasons so they are not bothered if their 'Poser' figure works in Daz. A lot of Daz users already have a new better bending figure in Genesis so they are not that interested either. Those that use both Studio and Poser have access to Genesis with no extra hoops to jump through. That is not to say users will not use Dawn in either program, they will, I just don't see a vast number of people who benefit from a figure that works in both.
If it was an attempt to try and heal the split that some people felt a while ago, it was doomed from the start. As for me I was really interested in Dawn until I saw the lack of morphs from day one or even month one. From a personal point of view, as a Poser user, Dawn has so much in common with Genesis in that she does not give me anything I cannot do with V4WM. I don't really care how old she is, or listen much to the prophets of doom, she has a place in my runtime until something better, not just new, comes along.
I don't really see why that's a concern of the customer's. If Dawn works for you and you want to use it, then use her in whichever program works for you.
