I've bumbed around DAZ Poser for a long time.

This is how I see it.

If I wanted characters in DAZ Poser I would use my own. I won't work with others meshes and there rules. If I work with my meshes I make the rules.

I have no doubt ALL CGI Artist that is capable of making characters have the exact same philosophy as me.

Lets say I make a female character for DAZ Studio. I couldn't sell my female at DAZ.com and I see DAZes advertisement every where. DAZ has multiple female characters with multiple venders supporting them and auto fit so any out fit fits any DAZ female.

So if I made a DAZ female character.it would be as noticeable as one drop of water in a hurricane.

I have no doubt DAZ Knows they have a monopoly on DAZ Poser characters and would War to keep it. Not that I wouldn't do the same.

Every one talks about this vendor or that vendor stop supporting Poser. Really the only vendor that mattered was DAZ.DAZ leaving Poser just says it all don't it.

Now DAZ have left Poser. but DAZ built there empire making Poser characters. So could another build there empire making Poser characters ? you no longer have DAZ as a competitor for Poser characters.

So what do you think ,could another build a Poser characters Empire ?

The difficulty is that Poser was a monopoly then and it isn't anymore. Plus the competitor is getting all the juice at the moment. The only one trying at the moment is HiveWire and even they know better than go Poser only. They are also relying on creators to support Poser as well as Daz. Those vendors will have to make the same support decisions as everyone else.

The veteran Poser users are saying "I don't need no stinkin' content" and the newer users are saying "I can't wait for the tide to turn" and don't have a large vested interest in Poser.
