Quote - Then it's curious that several major vendors at rendo has hoop jumped to make V6 clothing, characters, poses and props over making things for native dawn. Some of those same vendors have set up shop over at DAZ too and not Hivewire. And some vendors that were staunchly against genesis have made items for them after their Dawn offering flopped and ended up on rendo's hot list a few weeks back.

Sounds like more people would rather hoop jump than load up Poser native Dawn.

 

 

This has probably more to do with more poser users moving over to DS so they can use Genesis1/2 more efficiently. Judging what I have read at Daz forums, several vendors have stated that if they leave out the PCF, their sales are just as good, which is why more and more products released at Daz are no longer poser compatible at all.

If the trend continues, the remaining majority of poser users are not using Genesis, and they will be looking for a different figure to take over from V4 eventually. It probably won't be Dawn, but it might be Dawn 2.

Yes, there is not a whole lot of content being made for Dawn atm, it's a slow trickle, but it is still there. Many users (and vendors) are waiting for the new SR2 release, and several vendors who initially didn't have an interest in Dawn, have stated that with the new release, they might take an interest in Dawn again. And many of them have stated an interest in their new Dusk figure (but that is a different discussion)

If you want to use Dawn or not, that is up to you, but she is far from doomed!
