Prior to the release of P11, SM did in fact reach out to Daz about Genesis implementation, but Daz was not interested (I could look for the exact quote from Nerd, but I can't be arsed)
Sure you could say that is 'too little too late', but it says to me that Daz has no interest in ever supporting Poser again, so that is the end of that discussion. Time to move on.
Funny, I recall him saying it was up to Daz 3D to push Dual Quaternion Skinning through Poser's slow and incomplete Python API.
That's not the quote I was referring to.
@Laurie I agree, I would like to see Poser live on for a long time, but I don't think Genesis is the answer. Besides, in a year or so, G3 will be replaced by something new anyway. 'Keeping up with the Joneses' seems to be what is expected, but not everyone agrees to that.
I think it's called innovating. That's really what's happening. You innovate or you die. Many companies in the past have bit the dust thinking they don't have to do anything to keep customers' business. Those companies aren't the first and definitely won't be the last.
