Updating DazStudio will break a lot of plugins, some from creators that left the business or are dead.

OMG , how will they ever create, that means they will actually have to do.....artist thing's and... creative things ? all on their own ?

wow, cant imagine something like that happening >to poser users ....oh wait.

During My 12 years ,as a Maxon C4D user, I learned the bitter lesson of allowing third party plugins to become the single point of failure in my entire creative process.

Sure it is nice to have a really powerful workflow enhancer or two such as some powerful Blender add-ons I use.

However IMHO, if the loss of such third party add-ons/plugins stops ones creative process entirely one needs to seriously re-evaluate if the core software remains a good choice for a creative tool.

Ah off topic, C4D was the first 3D program I ever loaded up in 93 (for some strange reason they had it on one of the PC @ Headquarters in Mannheim Germany ) tried to figure out how to load a cube, (Not draw/pull one out) after 2 days still didn't figure it out and moved on to Softimage and PLE Maya... anyway..... yes agree with everything you said 100% plugins are ok...but not to the point where without them you cant continue.

Nothing Mac related to add ,sorry RobZhena for the Off topic...Oh ! I like the way they look (Macs) So that counts :0)
