Nobody split because nobody was together , DAZ only provided 3D models to Poser and that's all , they built their own program to render their own 3D models and have better control over everything including the program codes, It is easy to say but changing dramatically an original program's codes will downgrade its market value. Daz could merge D|S with Carrara that they own and have better stuff at this time than anything else , but they could not do that for the same reason , there are some legal stuff, copyrights and other legal stuff , complicated situations. However at this time I was talking with D|S programmers and they said they could not agree with the company and find common ground. DAZ since then is no more the same , it is run by different people and have different visions for their business . Some people waiting for a bridge to Poser ? well you can do it already with FBX export and there will be nothing more than that, enjoy sharp like diamond elbows of your figures cutting your monitor screen each time you move the camera inside Poser lol

Why did DAZ and whoever it was who owned Poser then split up? Was it a high level spat within the upper echelons? I can't help feeling both organisations have lost out to all our detriments. The poser / DAZ conflict is just the World situation writ small I suppose. Anyway, thanks again all and stay safe!
