Merger... This ain't no merger. That's just a sugar coat. This is an acquisition. RDNA's owners clearly saw which way the 3D winds are blowing and set sail for the obviously brighter horizon. What's really interesting is that RDNA has been one of the few places that actually had aftermarket support for Poser's character content - aka Pauline and Paul, which are obviously just Dawn and Dusk renamed. On SM's Poser support page, the forums link took you to....RDNA as the official Poser forum. Anyone who doesn't see this and another indication that Poser is dying a slow death... well. I wonder how long DAZ Studio will continue to be offered free. DAZ has done everything right so far and SM...? Notsamuch.
