As Glitterati3D said above there is nothing wrong with wanting a plugin to use DAZ figures in Poser, but that request should and in fact MUST be aimed at DAZ not Poser's owners. Among the reasons for that are the fact that Bondware/Rendo have a program they expect to SELL... for a PROFIT. In order to incorporate DAZ's proprietary handlers they would need to license the tech from DAZ (a fact that I'm sure DAZ thought of when creating such technology). Therefore Bondware/Rendo would have to pay for said liciense causing the price for Poser to increase or the profit margin to decrease, both undesirable outcomes. Another is that DAZ knows their tech... Bondware/Rendo would have to PAY their development team to first learn Poser (if they aren't already familiar with it) AND Daz's technology (If not familiar with it). time is money so the cost for the learning time would need to be passed on the the end users, again an undesired out come for (little?) gain.

All fof these arguments apply for IRay, etc. This is NOT the way a company wants to think after just acquiring a software. Best to keep things relatively stable and look to make IMPROVEMENTS to current software tech, until some profits are made that can be rolled back into research and development.

As for figures.. I believe Rendo has a strong investment (if not outright ownership) of LaFemme and the projected L'Homme figure, ( reading between the lines here). Laemme has had one upgrade already to make her more friendly for content creators and users. She is a very quality figure in my opinion, and may well be the first change Bondware/Rendo makes to the software. Give the new owners a chance to run some of the shine off their new purchase. Keep calm (aka civil) and see where they plan to take Poser, before getting too heated!
