Wow, a lot of good words here. I have not said much over the past few years, really since we closed our store. I can’t speak about what vendors are doing now, but I can speak that I actually use DS almost exclusively, however I will use Poser for other things I just can’t say goodbye too. I know all my models work great inside of DS, all parameters work etc. I have been studying the whys and what of DS and found that if you add the runtime to the DS library everything works just like Poser. Once I load items, I easily convert items to Iray and render away. I don’t install directly to the DS content I let DS do the converting and I have never had any issues. Not sure I understand what the problem is. You can still use Poser content in DS. Now about Poser I still use it because I have invested a lot in Poser products, and the materials I purchased I still do love using.

I will still purchase items for Poser and DS, of course the cost is an issue for me on both DS and Poser now, so I have to choose wisely due to finance,but I am not alone there.

To put it simply, you can use Poser in DS and the other way around if you learn how. I have been even learning how to convert my dynamic cloth from Poser to DS easily with the dforce engine. Just have to be patient and learn. I won’t throw out my Poser products when I can still use them in DS.

Both types can be sold and used, and appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
