Also, props and scenes for Poser wilk at least load in DS. Not so the other way around. Poser can't read .daz or whatever they're called. But DS can open .pp2's.

So why cut yourself off from a big userbase by making everything DS exclusive? Be INCLUSIVE - and sell more!

Up until now I've not responded in this thread, but TrekkieGrrrl made a very good point. Poser compatible content CAN be used in DS. I don't have the most recent version of DS (haven't upgraded past DS4.0 Pro and the original Genesis), but I still have all the content installed which I purchased over the 8 years I was using DS2 and DS3 Advanced (my largest Runtime) exclusively, and I CAN access and use it all since getting back to Poser with P9 and PP11.

I could probably count on one hand the number of items I bought over those 8 years that were exclusively DS products, so I don't understand why products have to be made exclusively for DS, and not usable in Poser. That's just my 2¢, FWIW.

Not all content can, and in the past DS users had to take a chance when purchasing Poser items because none of them were tested in DS which meant no refunds if they didn't work. But it's not hard to understand why products are made in one program: Market share, figure used and return on investment. And with that, new users and vendors are entering the market and see no value in purchasing a program that won't allow them to reach the most customers, use the more popular figures or give them a monetary return on the time they spent converting a product to poser.. and that includes props.
