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.

Thinking out loud here, not meant as an argument. There are difficulties in making this happen. The weight mapping and materials are different between Poser and DAZ Studio, not to mention things like "auto fit" and "auto follow" and whatnot.

Then also consider that should the "Genesis native in Poser" utility fall into the hands of the Poser developers to keep up with advances in Genesis not only would the development costs for Poser be higher, but they will always be behind the release of a new Genesis figure, because new features would have to be incorporated after the fact.

Thirdly, since the Genesis figures are sold only at DAZ, then DAZ would get the benefit of the additional figure sales, while Poser developers would get extra development costs to support the figures in Poser.

These are some of the difficulties that would have to be surmounted. DAZ tried to make things happen with DSON, but many Poser users had problems with it. I don't think it is as easy to accomplish as people assume it will be.
