“Dawn SE will still work for Dawn 2. Unlike others that make their supportive artist audience and customers abandon their work to support yet another new figure line up that changes quickly, making folks scramble to support the latest release figures. HiveWire is here for you”
Hi, I am not sure to whom you refer in the above. But the “scramble” to Support the new figures is a natural market reaction for both venders and buyers, Do we not want people to “scramble” to support the new poser 11 figures when they arrive?
Venders are not “forced to abandon” our work When new figures are released We choose to, based on what figure platform we see in demand.
“If you want to look at the future core figure content that will continue to support Poser and Studio, look to HiveWire.”
May I impose upon you to clarify Dawns “Support” for Daz studio 4x
I only ask because of the following: When I Upgraded from DS 2.3 to DS 4.x I got the original unisex genesis 1 as well as the The Gen 2 Male and female and now the Gen3 female.
ALL of My legacy (poser6 era) V4/M4 Clothing and skin materials were supported by Gen 1& Gen 2 via Autofit and UV switching And ALL of my animated character motion files work on them as well.
Will Dawn offer me such a Painless transition?? Additionally ,as a Sci-Fi Enthusiast, I found that nearly All of the really cool creature/Alien morphs seemed to be for the Original genesis 1 figure. I was able to easily transfer them to the Gen2 Figures via a Plugin Called “GEN X” Similarly, I have been able to transfer all of my legacy V4/M4/Hiro,Aiko morphs to gen2 Via this same plugin. (not a free plugin BTW but worthwhile investment !!!)
Will Dawn offer me this support in Daz studio as well??
On the matter of the G3 Female, While a cursory read of the Daz forums would seem to indicate an effort is underway to make her compatible with previous genesis content, I frankly don’t care. This figure is a step backward as a Daz native Figure IMHO but a great advance if you plan to Develop for unity ( I have no such plans ATM)
But Does the existence of gen3 make gen2 or even gen 1 obsolete??…..nope.
