but I do not think that it is a comfort bubble for the users to stay or use Poser and or Daz studio. Allot have huge collections of models, big investments, Years of work assembling a useful library .... Fully addicted on collecting these assets --->> they might not even use ! It is like a Drug . If one like you say jump out of there comfort bubble , how long would it take the one to rebuild the >collection made the past decades ?? 1 day 1 week 1 month >1 year or a whole Decade ??
Not advocating for Daz studio (They have banned me from their forums for "Advocating other softwares")
But it is not true that moving from poser to Daz studio, for Genesis access, requires a complete abandonment of your entire library of legacy poser content.
Any CR2 based figure or Stonemason set prop etc can be opened in Daz studio natively By simply adding your old legacy poser runtime. even figures as old as Poser4 "dork' and the Zygote "business man"( see pic)
That large majority of the poser user base, still clinging to Vicky4 ,would have little problems using her in Daz studio while they migrate to whatever generation of genesis 1,2,3,8.
However the Willdial script to import G3/8 into poser has very limited acceptance because it requires the use of Daz studio to export the figures and many here refuse to leave the poser comfort bubble long enough for a simple figure export and instead demand a poser native version of Genesis ...which will never happen.
Even Reallusions figure transformer tool ,in CC3 pipeline supports, V4/M4 import including textures and clothing, However you would have to make a substantial financial investment in the Iclone 3dxchange pipeline tool to salvage your props& stonemason sets etc.
But frankly people who move to Reallusion are migrating there for the powerful, realtime Character animation tools,not to re-create and render old poser scenes from the past.
Now yes....Moving to Blender or another 3DCC, requires a special plugin IMHO, and currently there are none for poser which is not surprising as the majority of poser user base can/will not learn Daz's Kiddie toy interface, to say nothing of Blender or Maya etc.
