"A weight mapping and uv system that is compatible with top end 3d software"

These are actually some of the main reason why Genesis 3 is here so soon, so it can be used in other top end software as well as game engines. Daz is taking Genesis out of the niche bubble and is expanding its audience and wants to get into other markets early as a go-to figure platform. If that means SM and Poser is left behind then so be it. Not like they really cared or showed support with Genesis anyways.

Perhaps since adopting the DSON format and triax weightmapping was unfavorable to SM, maybe FBX import and the switch to dual quaterion weightmaps would be more appealing. That would make genesis 3 usable in Poser and be native too.
