Hmm...

I think Wolf still posts here because there are still animators, and people who use a genuine multi program pipeline for their work around here, and he can speak to the realities for those people.

As for mesh.... Well since it doesn't expire, it's still viable. Personally, I wish DAZ would just create a new g-thing and rig it so it doesn't work in Poser and be done with it. It's been years since they got a penny of my money (along with a lot of other former serious customers), and cutting the umbilical once and for all would be a godsend. If they want to keep the 4th gen figures available, cool. If not, cool. If someone figured out how to make the new non compatible figure somehow partially compatible through a dozen python scripts, cool. Hivewire is trying to become the goto for Poser figures, which is also cool.
