I understood what you said. I understood that the current situation isn't ideal and that you'd prefer to just to make a hook into your current software without having to redo a lot of code. Hopefully that can be realized, but if not, the extra work might pay off big. The current solution is pretty much broken and rarely used, as in almost never. The Poser solution is a lot easier and allows for hair, something that the Daz solution does not. The two hair plugins for Daz, Look at My Hair and Garibaldi, don't allow for dynamic movement. There has been some chatter that LaMH is playing with the idea, but nothing has come of it. Dynamic options in Daz is wide open and has a very large customer base that would embrace it with open arms.

So, I just want you to know that we appreciate all your efforts here. We also understand how you want to protect your work and we support that. Whatever you need, we are happy to help and encourage. As a Daz user though, I will really want to use dynamics much more when it comes to Daz Studio. I'll still use your dynamics software in Poser, but I'll end up doing all my animations in Daz, not Poser. I find Poser far more clunky, unintuitive and harder to get the desired results. This doesn't mean Poser can't or isn't easy to use, just that with all the 3D apps I've used in the past, the transition to Daz Studio has been relatively painless compared to trying to get Poser to work they way I want.

As far as integration into the next version of Poser, I'm not sure Smith Micro will be on board. If so, they would most likely want to buy the rights to it so they could bundle it in. The model Daz uses for Studio is more like what VWD is doing as they use an plugin technology and encourage it quite a bit. Poser seems to want to be all things to all people and have everything in the package. At least that's how I see it. That being said, if VWD was in the next Poser, it would make it far more attractive to purchase. I won't upgrade my Poser for at least a year or more.

I'd rather see this:

1. Finalize the code and get the distribution setup finalize.

2. Release.

3. Get a Mac version coded.

4. Get a Daz Studio version coded.
