Lol Daz3D level of support is a huge operation that I do not think SM is capable of doing. Daz spent years getting that structure in place. SM have never given developers the confidence to support their figures. If they were we would have seen evidence of this already in the past. The only encouragement vendors need is revenue. If a figure can keep bringing it in, they will continue to support it. Dawn couldn't do that, hense the rapid drop in support. Honestly I don't see how Pauline or Paul will interest developers who are already on the Genesis train. Most likely, support for her will come from non Daz vendors or those who are anti Genesis.

At best, she will have the same level of support as Dawn, but I honestly just don't see her on the commercial stage taking on the G series. In order for that to happen, every single Poser user must have the latest version of Poser as a requirement for starters, and chances of that happening are slim. Until that happens, the amount of users who will have her will be a tiny fraction of the user base, and nobody wants to support a figure that only caters to a fraction of the market, because they will only be getting a fraction of revenue compared to the bigger commercial platforms. So unless every Poser user can use these new figures the same way every Daz user can use Genesis, the growth regarding the new figures will be extremely slow, and won't really stand a chance in gaining traction at the rate of the grey blob:)
