So Daz won't support models in Poser 5. Does Maxon support Poser figures imported to their application? Or Newtek? Or Discreet? Or anyone else? If you don't have it, you can't support it because you don't know what it does or how it works. If someone write to me about one of my models in, for instance 3DSMax or Lightwave I don't have a clue how to help them. Poser 5 is the same. If you don't own it, you can't offer support for it. If you don't use it, you can't give support for it. Does Curious Labs offer support for all the Daz products seeing as it's their application things are used in? No? Why? Because they don't own all of them, don't use all of them and didn't make them. I understand the frustration, I've had problems importing Poser figures into Bryce but I don't write to Corel screaming at them about it, nor do I write to Daz screaming at them about it. Because I don't expect them to support it. I do however ask in a forum HOW to do something if I can't figure it out. This applies to other models or characters I might make in the future. I don't own Poser 5, so can't support it. I guess that makes me a mean nasty POS as well because I'd have to tell someone "Sorry, can't answer your question, you're on your own." That's why I state it on my site. As far as I know Daz have a similar statement on their site in the FAQ, maybe elsewhere.
