Why get angry? You're preaching to the choir. I get you. Poser is better. I agree. But DAZ creates far better content. I would love it if the native content in Poser was equal. But it ain't. Not even close. Both are businesses. Both want and need profit. I get that too. Here's what I argue.... If SM/Poser included far better native content with the purchase of Poser, there'd be far less of a threat from third party content providers. Then again, if Poser included far better content with a Poser purchase, then it might make third party content creators not want to create content. It's a tough line to draw.

I love Poser. I love DAZ's characters. I love them both. I want both products and software to succeed. How do we make all this work? IDN. I really don't. What I do sense is that both companies need each other. And they seem to strive to make their products compatible. If SM/Poser gave us better content/characters, it would be an enhancement, not competition. We'd have more choices which would  be better. The community of users would have more to choose from. OK, fine. They my not choose V+ as often, but V+ would still be a very desirable and compelling option. As would whatever SM/Poser's native and far improved native character options would be. I love choices. I want more of them. That's why my wish list in Renderosity is so long. Give me choices. You won't die. You'll in fact thrive.
