So I'm not sure why something is, but I'll ask anyway...

A vendor puts out a new product, say a prop of some kind, made for Poser. Vendor notes that the Studio user has to change a few material settings, but otherwise, said product works in DS.

But if a prop (not a character, folks, a prop) is made for Studio, apparently it's damn near impossible to use in Poser without massive changes requiring an additional week's work on the part of the vendor and blah blah blah...

Guys, if it's easier to convert from Poser to Studio just by making a few minor material changes, why do vendors create things as Studio only? Why not double your market share, build it in Poser, and provide whatever apparently minor tweaks are needed for it to work in Studio? One vendor does this all the time, and the results are great. So why is this so difficult? Do you vendors not want my money?
