Once involved with a merger. A different market than Daz and RuntimeDNA, yet I tried to work through a Piss ant company buying one of the largest and oldest businesses in America. After they made a mess of things, I quit, along with many other people. As a version 1 user of Poser, been wanting to buy an upgrade. Not even worth it, with minimal, or changes of no interest. Wake up SM, the Reapers are looming over you and our once treasured quirky GUI program-Poser.

I was once in a company that was part of a merger, the sort of merger where all of the people in my company had to reapply for their jobs and most were given to employees of the other company. I was made redundant which I was unhappy about at the time but, with hindsight, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. The following year I was offered my old job back with a sizable increase in salary. I told the manager I would have to think about it, 90 seconds later I said no and almost ten years on I do not regret my decision.

Very few people will see this RDNA - Daz deal as a merger. The new company is not going to the called DAZ-RDNA. Point is though this is bad news even for Daz customers as many of the products they could have purchased from RDNA will never make it to DAZ, those that do will likely be much more expensive. I really don't see this as an us and them situation, more a loss to many 3D artist, no matter what software they use.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
