Fix your forum software!! LOL Or at least revert it back to around early 2014 when I could easily quote people in bold orange text and embed a youtube videos in my post.

On the larger question of the waning market there is nothing renderosity itself or wistful threads like this one Can do about the unfolding emulsification of the poser content market under the heartless wheels of Technological Progress.

Honestly mates.. Take a good look at the larger world around You and you will see one prevailing trend……UNIFORM STANDARDS.

When was the last time you witnessed A heated , pitched, bloodletting, Mac VS Windows debate?? The matter has been made moot by Apple making all the new Macs into Overpriced intel PC’s purpose built to run the Mac OS & Windows natively. ..UNIFORM STANDARDS. Who seriously believes that Adobe & Autodesk have gone Cloud/subscription for the sole Purpose of defeating the menacing software “pirates“ ? A demographic of users from whom they Were never going to get any actual money under any price structure.

Adobe, Autodesk and even Maxon Can more easily Force everyone to have the latest Version of their software by having the new version upgrades included in their monthly service agreements. This enables third party partners like Microsoft& Apple and plug-in developers to concern themselves only with the latest versions of the CG applications in regards to platform& OS version compatibility ..UNIFORM STANDARDS.

Notice how the new Android,IOS and other Mobile Smart devices no longer Have removable batteries or upgradable external SD storage??. This prevents Austerity minded users from keeping their devices longer than the Average lifespan of a two year contract by just replacing depleted, unrechargable batteries and buying ever larger removable external SD Cards to accommodate their Digital Hoard. This Forces Everyone to buy a new “smart device” Device every 18-24 months while enabling Content developers to build Apps for the latest version of the OS and take advantage Of the newest cutting edge hardware Capabilities….UNIFORM STANDARDS.

DAZ has implemented the same world view in this regard, and only those living in some myopic ,temporal causality loop ,Undisturbed by the unidirectional nature Of the Space time continuim, actually believes any Hype that Daz has embarked Some uniquely personal conspiracy against poser and its users.

.Like it or not, Accept it or not UNIFORM STANDARDS ,do have a deleterious effect on innovation& creative& “niche “variety, But Such UNIFORM STANDARDS have a stabilizing effect on every aspect of primary& secondary market endeavours.

Look at the Disorganized Chaos To be seen in that anachronistic wasteland that was once the poser content& figure market.

Every new “great white hope” female figure being cobbled by various disparate cottage industrialists inspired by their own purient fantasies and a small Clouder of tribal loyalists Who shower them with nothing but oozing praise.

Rigging ??.. “Who cares what content makers already know I have my own exotic “nerdy Mcnerd”technological innovation that will be such as the world Has never seen!!

Compatibility with Standard biped animation Data Such as BVH or poser animated PZ2??

BAHHH!! Who actually cares about Animation other than that blowhard “Woof35whatver,” DaleB and a handful of other outliers Who are possessed of this foolish notion that moving pictures have some validity as a story telling medium.

Here have a look at my shiny new Physically based renderer. What do mean material/ lighting presets?? I will let the Defacto “gurus” of the “Community” teach the hapless Masses How to reverse engineer My brilliant implementation and actually create some usable,non-theoretical renders & animations with my Exciting new innovative Vicky/Daz/Genesis/Iray killer.

UNIFORM STANDARDS??? This is no bloody Mcdonalds.
