If it wasn't for Poser, DAZ would never have come into existence.

You are right!! I say the same thing all of the time to those Poser haters on DAZ. DAZ would be out of business if it wasn't for Poser and the DAZ fans don't seem to get it. I have even seen posts in their forums where people get downright nasty toward Poser users and wish we would go away. Where were they when DAZ Studio came with a price tag?

I too am seeing a shift from Poser items to mostly DAZ Studio/Genesis 3. To me it seems many vendors are looking to get on the DAZ wagon or perhaps Renderosity will be going the same route as Runtime DNA. As I have said over on DAZ months ago, they killed the competition and hardly create any new Poser models.

There is only a small percentage of vendors who still create for Poser. Maybe five percent if that. There is also no way to filter Poser models on the DAZ3D website which speaks volumes to me. They don't want Poser users. What they have available is mostly from RDNA and it is old stuff from ten years ago that I already have.

I do not know why you think that Daz Users hate Poser Users, everyone is using the program they feel most comfortable with and that is it. I remember YEARS of us Daz users looking for Daz products. Just the same as it now seems with Poser Users looking for Poser content.

We are all Artist, no program creates art on the push of a button, WE, the Artists do it, and it does not matter which program has been used. Vendors want to make money, just like everyone else does in their job. If Daz provides more money than that is what you will find in the Marketplaces. That is nothing to do with hating. As for Daz Users being downright nasty toward Poser Users... that is the same the other way round in some forums. I find it childish and silly. We are all grown up and should enjoy our Art and be happy.

So please do not blame Vendors for wanting to earn money. For a lot of those Vendors, it is a full-time job and they pay their bills so need to create for what is popular, and that seems to be Daz Studio Content. Kind regards Petra
