I would have only one suggestion for Bondware going forward when it comes to Poser. I really think that if they want to not only compete with DAZ but in some ways surpass them is to adopt FBX or Collada as the file format going forward. I suggest a more open operating environment in the sense that those standards make all sorts of possibilities. Adopting FBX as the standard file format going forward would expand the Poser market to an unprecedented degree. Imagine not having to worry about converting this or that --just being able to import it and go! Some of my greatest frustrations as a hobbyist is that I spend a lot more time converting this or that when I should be animating and rendering. I kept up with Poser to 2014 but I set it aside because it didn't fit what I wanted to do anymore. I'm not opposed to going back to Poser but I don't want to step back into the frustrations of the past 10 years.

Sounds like you're spreading the frustration around. Wouldn't changing the file format break a lot of existing content? If not, wouldn't everyone else have to convert to the new file format instead? What about existing content in the stores already. Would content creators have to learn a whole new way of making content for Poser? Could you please explain further?

Excellent news. Renderosity own a great platform of people interested by poser.

Although I'm a Daz Studio user a bit of healthy competition in the market is a good thing for users of both programs so congratulations.
