Quote - Well, I think it is not difficult to undestand that when I say make a "poser genesis version" I am not talking about take the actual genesis and put it in Poser. (I know more or less how Genesis works), the thing I mean is that, if daz3d wanted, they had made a new Poser figure, adapted to Poser, with more or less functions than Genesis, but a Poser figure, call it Poser genesis, call it Poser V5 or whatever.
Genesis is not a figure it is a system, so less it is. > Quote - Or just, as they do in the past, wait till Poser take a way in Wheight mapping thing and make their figures (genesis) and their software adapted to that rigging system. The question is, why didn't they do?, why wasting the Poser user base that love daz3d figures but love Poser too, just simple, their plans was atract that Poser user base to Daz Studio with Genesis, and take the entire control over "poser" market.
Poser did not include Weight Mapping until after Genesis was released. Customers have been asking for Poser to include weight mapping since before 2005, when I started with my 3D Hobby, and long before I turned it into a career, yet it didn't happen until Genesis came out. Granted, in all likelyhood Poser was working on weight mapping before Genesis was released, but Genesis did not suddenly spring into existence either.
As an example of going that route, Michael 4's shoulders were much better before release than after, they were downgraded because of Poser compatibility. Freak 4 didn't work in Poser and couldn't be made to work in Poser until after it was released and Poser fixed some bugs in response to that release.
Customers want better figures, not the same technology, and definitely not broken figures.
Quote - Did they do it?, I think the answer is DSON, or easier, no. DSON was a bungler attempt to try to solve the problem they created in their own bussines.
Bungler attempt? Or answer to customer requests after Smith Micro refused to listen? > Quote - Note:bhoins Daz3d was a content company in the past, now they are an content and a software company, just take a look to their website They are not making content for other software today, they are making content for their own software, and Dson is only a trying to solve a lost of clients because the "genesis" way.
It is an opinion and you are entitled to your opinion, it isn't a valid one. DAZ is a content company, that is where their money is. Yes, they do software work, but that is not where their money is.
