My whole point is/was that you are saying Poser can't do what DS can and I proved it has been doing it since 2016 at least.
Part of it is misconception that keeps getting repeated and repeated (and I'd appreciate it if you would stop doing that now) and part of is that most vendors are not using the tools to their abilities.
You don't see those promos above (BOTH were promos for the Jeans and Tank) at HW because I closed my store there and removed all my products. I had given up 3D completely (because of just THIS issue) until I was asked to join the La Femme effort.
Now, with Rendo in charge of Poser, I am hoping that we can make the FACTS known and stop the erroneous information from being spread further.
I've actually been pretty darned careful not to say Poser can't do what DAZ can (1) because I haven't used Poser in a while, and (2) because I always thought it could.
What I have been saying is that there haven't been commercially available content reflecting those capabilities, and there haven't been many.
Again, I lay most of the fault at Smith Micro's feet on that, because not only didn't they adequately show what Poser could do in their promo's, update their Content Paradise store with pretty much anything in the way of products that did not date back to Poser 5, but didn't persuade large sections of their customer base to keep upgrading so any time a vendor came up with a product based on a newer version of Poser they couldn't sell it.
I don't think Poser's problem has been technical, I think it's that Smith Micro can't market it's way out a paper bag when the target audience is end users, they can only market to businesses, and anybody who followed the company would know the reason why. Which is another reason I think Poser can undergo a transformation under Renderosity, they do know how to market to end users.
