Please boys and girls, please not again.
I have been playing with Poser from Poser 1, and have been a member here since the good old days, been beta testing Poser for close to 10 years, and trying to help customers since God only knows when.
It was fights like these that made a lot of us flee to RDNA till that site got sold out, then we continued "in peace" at the SM forums.
Both lost forums, RDNA and the ex-SM, contained a ton of tech info. I remember clearly the very open and honest and lengthy technical discussions I had with Steve Cooper in the RDNA ambassadors den, when I invented the fitting room. Steve wrote the specs, and the team coded it.
Now that Bondware and Renderosity bought the poser app, please let us have some mature and constructive discussions and help Poser go forward.
Now I have a new cloth building idea, but don't have a clue who to talk to any more.
Give both companies the time to sort things out and we will see from there.
The whole DS - Poser discussion, or Genesis implementation is pointless. DAZ chose to leave Poser compatibility, and one can not make one company depend on another companies technology.
As for why most left Poser in the past? That question is so simple to answer that most forget that all men (and women) want to date the most beautiful wo(men) in town. It was not the app, both apps have their strong and weaker points, it was the quality of the content provided.
While PE and La Femme tried to fill that gap, none come close to the pure content quality that DAZ has on offer (at this point in time). PE being a good figure, but technically too advanced for the average home-alone end user that opens Poser on a calm evening night, and wants to go to bed with a finished render an hr later. La Femme is a very popular figure because she is very flexible and renders very nicely, but technically speaking, this is not the way you want Poser content to go in the long run.
Give both companies time to sort the transfer out, and let us hope they can build a team and competent technical hardcore beta-testers to bring Poser successfully into 2020.
Best regards all, and have a nice W-End, Tony
