Poser needs it's own genesis-like figure, which is what I've been saying for the last 4 or 5 years now.

The tech exists in Poser to do that and get it 95% of the way there. It just hasn't been done yet - least not on an 'available to the public' level.

Or the tech could be made to adapt to one of the biggest 3rd party content markets out there atm. Or maybe there is Paul and Pauline 2 on the horizon for Poser 12. Or EroGenesis's long awaited golden girl waiting to shine a light. Or maybe just more Dawn and Dusk...

I mean its great to have a video player with it's own super exclusive codec. But a better one plays them all right? Or its developers needs to work pretty hard on delivering great content in that codec direct to it's user base.

Do you ever think what was the major figures series in Poser's most dynamic years for 3rd party content dev? If Poser is serious about delivering content it's strange that it can just ignore a mass of content that is their and 'almost' ready for it's user base (I mean has anyone costed this out at SM, or is it all still just running on grudge mode?). The new storefront for Content paradise was an interesting move, but it's still looking a little flat to me or maybe it's just a portal for SM software sales.

You know what I would love to see, scripted Poser converters for Daz Studio PBR shader's, native Genesis figure support. Direct pipelines to work between the two apps so users can utilise the best of both UI's and render systems. Easy translation so vendors can move products or projects between both app's with a minimum of effort and access both customer/user bases. More cross platform freedom for the developers and the midnight tweekers on both UI's to interact together and collaborate between the two quite similar systems. But I guess it's more profitable for someone, somewhere that we all just compete directly. Promoting exclusivity. Or maybe Poser's investments funds are just better spent on a Metaballs plugin... Wonder what Larry says...
