Then why is it that still so many of those daz users are begging for
Genesis in Poser? Can't go a week without hearing about how great G
is but they hate the DS interface and miss Poser. you might be surprised just how much of that 'lost demographic' find >their way back.
There is not going to be a fully functional Genesis in Poser,we all know this, and now that Daz has added a new IK system there is yet another Genesis native function that would have to be re-created in poser.
Genesis in poser = Dead subject.
So the people and Daz PA's who never used Poser at all are the "natives" to whom I was referring.
They do not "miss" the poser interface because there never used it in the past and have no reason to leave DS & Genesis.
The "Migrants" to whom I was referring are the"old timers" who started with poser 3-4 before Daz studio existed, but "migrated" to DS for the Genesis figures and content and the seemingly endless 70 % off sales
Or in My case. for the nonlinear motion clip system and more modern*Graph editor and dope sheet
(*no longer a paid add on in DS4.12 but now included FREE )
Niether of these demographics are likely to be a factor in the future Zero sum growth of the poser user base.
All of us ,who already own an older copy of poser, but do not use it in our daily work/play can still be considered part of the current poser owners.
If we all decide buy poser 12 that does not actually count as growth in market share for Bondware/poser. they are just reselling a new version to a stagnant population.
Growth in total market share only comes from adding to your total number of users from new incoming buyers who were not using your product at all.
Technically even Daz studio's market share only really "grows" when a new user of their free loss leader app, actually buys something the store.
Bondware has to convince new users to buy poser first even before counting on any new RMP Sales
A tougher challenge.
