Daz chose to make Genesis 3 more "exotic" in its basic structure and removed the ability to export it as a poser CR2. IMHO opinion Genesis 2 was the best version of Genesis with the highest level of compatibility with external apps via basic FBX export.. but its all water under the bridge now.
"Sabotage" is bit melodramatic ..yes??
Did bondware "Sabotage" Maxon C4D or Autodesk Max when they dropped the "Poser fusion" plugins??
Genesis 8.1 does not work with the Genesis conversion tool in Reallusion Character creator 3 and Reallusion (wisely) does not appear to be in any real hurry to further chaser after the golden unicorn with an update ..nor are they crying "sabotage".
They spent their resources on a new realistic hair /beard system and connecting CC3 figures to the realtime RTX based "Omniverse" System being heavily pushed by the GPU behemoth NVIDIA.
The obvious lesson is to NEVER let someone else's external tech become the single point of failure for your business model.
which is why Daz studio was created at all during that highly unstable E-frontier era of poser
And why Reallusion Created Character creator 1 after genesis 3 Broke the genesis Auto recognition template in Iclone 3Dxchange.
