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. 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!

I do not agree with your initial statement in any way, shape or form. This is EXACTLY the right time to tell the new Poser owners what we want and what we hope for. And one of those key items is GENESIS FIGURES.

I'm just going to put it bluntly:

• Failing to get Genesis into a new version of Poser is going to be seen by many of us as a failure. There's no other way to put it: Failure.
• And it's not just about the weight mapping and modern figure features we want, it's because there is a huge catalog of great content that most of us cannot use.
• Every day that Poser lacks native Genesis support is another day in which Poser loses users (or at the very leas,) fails to get the new users getting started with 3D art).

Anyway, i'm guessing the hornet's nest is about to get riled up, so I'd better duck on out of here until the buzzing subsides.
