I can see a frustrated war on content creation if the problem was just FIGURE work. I don't need anymore figures. For what I do I am perfectly content working with....OH MY FREAKING CHRIST......V4 and M4! Sorry! ;)So, yeah, I am content with the figures I already have but what Ineed is good props and sets to put them in. Nature backgrounds like what was offered by the top artist at DAZ and here are falling by the wayside as these artists are moving over to create content for D/S. I understand though it grieves me why content creators want to work with new better working figures for a software that works better or renders their efforts better, whatever. But why is that argument so frustrating when addressing a realistic sand dune scene at the beach for instance, or a set of realistic hay stacks or hay bales that look like the real thing instead of a round cornered brick with terribly stretched flat hay texture wrapping? Some of the great new stuff I see offered free or even for sale could just as easily be created and sold as importable .obj files or textured .3ds files which work just fine In Poser as well as D/S. Instead they create it to JUST work in D/S! Why do I care? some of the newer artists are creating some great stuff (compared to the early days of Poser4 whose content I still use because I can't find anything closely resembling a set I need), that would look great in our renders, and, working in Poser I want them/need them for my images. I am NOT a great artist...Hell I don't even call myself an artist anymore. I do NOT know how to create my own content and wish I did but I also really wish I could find a portion of my dying brain I can still automate into wrapping itself around all the difficulty in doing that. Hell I even tried to learn D/S so I could at least export stuff for use in Poser (realistically understanding I could not learn the App itself enough to create my paltry images. What I wound up with was a huge freaking headache every time I tried firing up the app an increase in blood pressure, grinding of my old teeth and an expenditure in props and models I had purchased labeled as useable in Poser with DSON Importer with the good intent of using it but never figured out how to. None are figures but sets and props! A dead investment. DSON never worked for me! EVER! in all versions of Poser it was professed to work in. TECH support at DAZ had me on-line and on the phone talking me through the steps to get it to work but NEVER DID! That was the only way I could get my money back from DAZ for purchases that went beyond their 30 day grace period for refunds. It was nice but I really would have preferred the items WORKED. I still find items in my archives that were sold with the DSON Importer option and too late to return now but wish I could find someone to at the very least convert them for me. But, of course that is forbidden so I sit on them. If they had been available as an add-0n option with the standard formats like .obj or .3ds for use in D/S it would have been great. I would have purchased the whole package disposed of the D/S content and imported the .obj files into POSER all happy and nice.

Does anyone think of doing that? HELL NO! I can see not wanting to do all the extra work of creating FIGURE/CHARACTER content for two platforms or two applications but you already have the damn .obj.... texture it and put it in the box for sale or release. Is it really so difficult to do that?
