No, not everyone was whining but some were. And on the subject of telling people to "F@ck off", this is a business, so keep your emotions in check. The fact that Poser users weren't spending money, resulted in ending support. No one is trying to be evil with you, so don't take it personal. 

It's kind of funny that people are saying Poser users aren't spending money when there were a number of posts asking for support in that thread and I got a few PMs from people who voiced their support (after the posts started coming down). I'm a Carrara user, but sometimes, DS files wouldn't show up in the Carrara Browser, so I started using Poser files and they show up, no problem. I know many other Carrara users who do the same.

I was grateful for the OBJs and bought Streets of London from Stonemason because they were offered. The problem is they load up in the middle of the screen untextured. There are a million props and textures that would all have to be added manually AND they would have to be manually organised and textured in the scene. So basically, it was worthless.

We need someone "derailing" threads (which really wasn't my intention) so Daz knows were alive and there are problems. Those users that wrote in DO spend money

PS There is no TOS service violation for asking someone for a product or modification to a product.

  1. A few people asking for Poser support in a forum post does not equal Poser users making up the total buyers actually buying product.  It comes down to the effort to make poser files vs the return a PA gets. Obviously the return is no longer there. As I said business is business. 2) Check your downloads again for the mtl files that should be in the products. I don't know much about the development plans of Carrara, I have 8.5 but to be honest, I haven't loaded it up to do much. With everything going on with DAZ, it's obvious now that their flagship product is DS and everything is going to revolve around that and Genesis 3. Also there is some interesting things going on with their sister company Morph3D as well. I think everyone knows Carrara exists, but it's never been a flagship product and definitely not a money maker. If you're looking for content, it has modeling capabilities, you may have to learn to use that portion of the application if you're not getting what you need.

  2. Unfortunately commercial threads is not the place to ask for Poser files en masse. Commerical threads are promotional for a PA, not product requests, thus a TOS violation... especially when support for a particular platform has ended.
