There's just one problem that you guys are missing I think. I see lots of requests for Poser 4 compatibility. But Curious Labs have copyrighted the formats for Poser 4. They own the file types etc. Now, just for one moment imagine the world of hurt that Daz will find themselves in if they do make their app compatible with Poser 4. Curious Labs would have them in a court so fast their legs with burn off. Perhaps, just perhaps a conversion utility could be constructed to read the text from a poser 4 character and convert it to the new format - after all, Alias Wavefront own the obj format so CL can do dick about that. But, they can and WILL protect their own propietary formats and processes. Bet your bottom dollar they will. So, how's about you stop asking for things that will get Daz into a law suit, and think about alternatives? I know for one that I would hate to lose all the stuff I have for poser 4 - such as figures and clothing. In all honesty importing the models I care nothing about. I can set all that up myself. But the figures and the clothes. They're important to me, but not so much that I want to see these two companies in a court room hurling more mud at each other. Just a thought, take it how you want. :)
