Just checking the marketplace here on Renderosity and find very little other than Genesis figures and supporting do-dads. Kinda makes it an industry standard don'cha think. As an old (emphasis on Old) poser user I've resisted Studio since learning new stuff is hard at my age and ignoring Genesis isn't helping my loyalty. SM recalcitrance only hurts their market share. And "Party Hack" boo hoo's help even less. Don't like the complaint quit the complaints and help fix the problem or watch Poser slip to an distant also ran as far as the very lucrative amateur market is concerned. with the advent of Reality, Iray and other third party helpers for our use I can't see where P11 offers people like me a good reason to up grade. If SM had fixed this problem I would have jumped on it. As an added thought I personally am not happy with DAZ dominance but if you look around you lots of people have jumped on the bandwagon producing great products for the amateur. DAZ is NOT leading from behind like or not.

I have the same opinion as you and i am also an "old" poser user. These topics always end with comments like "discussed many times, get over it", "you do not have the real poser attitude", "start using daz studio".

Integrated daz studio support it is not going to happen. So although i am 56 years old and i was not looking forward to start using DAZ studio, out of frustration i started using daz studio. O it was frustrating in the beginning but after a month it was ok. Nothing wrong with giving the brain a little workout, prevents dementia.

Just try it.

I am still using poser also, but i will not upgrade to poser 11. I always upgraded in the past, i guess i am not the only one not upgrading because of this issue. Very difficult to judge how many users have switched to daz studio, but i also see a lot of content for G3F offered on this marketplace. So that kind of content must sell very good thus quit a lot of people are using daz studio.

I regret that things are the way they are, but no one is to blame. Just simple company decisions to make as much profit as they can. SM could offer integrated daz content usability, but it would cost a lot more to implement that. So the price of poser would be higher or they would have to sell more copies of the software. I guess they evaluated this and made a good business decision. DAZ judged years ago that they could not go where they wanted to go with the poser platform, they took a big risk and started there software platform. It was also a good business decision.

Do not get frustrated about these things.
