I looked back to see where this whole conversation went off the rails and it seems to be when figures started getting discussed. I think there are two legitimate issues here, (1) it doesn't matter which figures are used in Poser as long as there are a full set of them, and a way to move clothing between them without having to buy it all over again each time a new generation is hatched. DAZ has gone through great lengths to make that happen, and the PA's have added extra tools where autofit falls short (for a price of course, but it is still a lot cheaper than buying it all again). Poser needs something like that to be viable for use by non-content creators.

(2) It would benefit both platforms if they adhered to a standard on content as much as possible. I'm not saying so that you can use content created in DAZ in Poser, I'm saying that it should go both ways. This would help both the content creators, who would get a larger market for little additional work, and the content users, who wouldn't have to worry about if what they are spending money on will work in the program they are using.

I'm not getting into the debate about V4 vs Genesis vs La Femme vs Dawn vs Project E etc because I really don't care. My only point is that as a content user I don't want to have to buy the same class items to fit each one, and I am going to settle on one set simply because my wallet only stretches so far.
