You think the software is dead because it doesnt support Studio's
never-ending parade of cookie-cutter, 20-something Barbies?
No.. the Poser software needs it own high quality females/MALES,environment sets industry standard import export features and modern Character animation tools..or it will die.
You're positively thrilled that Maya will get the "full Genesis
experience"? Buckets of happiness... except that DAZ tried this before
and was pretty well dismissed because all it apparently had to offer the
3D world was a bunch of cookie-cutter, 20-something Barbies .
Indeed what is sad is that Daz does NOT understand the Autodesk user base in the least and this latest DEX plugin will not be embraced by the professional CG/VFX community But not only because of the endless parade of white 20 something chicky poo's.
( Duh...EVERYONE has young pretty white girls, now even Iclone)
But primarily because the Daz ,single workstation content management system is a NON starter for professional team environments no matter how good the content looks in the promo renders.
Sorry, but I am really over this. If you want DAZ materials to work in
Poser, then talk to DAZ about it.
No sir ,dont "talk to daz" about making native poser content, they are too busy making plugins that are Desparately trying to expand their user base beyond the trap of the still/render portrait/pinup crowd , this includes 99.9 percent of the poser users.
You're concerned because Daz's demographic is more into pin-ups? It's
how they made their fortune, such as it might be, and if that
demographic is limited, DAZ did it to itself by showcasing itself as
little >more than what was needed for that pin-up-making demographic.
You are quite correct of course.
Alas Poser( and its user base) has ,long ago sadly done the exact same thing to its reputation and market position using Posette, Daz Vicky-1,2,3,4. and is now eagerly waiting to see which Ideal BMI, 20 something white girl Bondware will coronate to assume the mantle and save the program from oblivion.
