Do you mean quitting the hobby or quitting DAZ?
The OP is quitting 3D art but if it's that or just the PC or DAZ or whatever else comes to mind fits, then it's it still comes down to the same thing. "Boohoo, I'm gonna take my marbles and go home." Cool. Enjoy.
Edit to add: As a note, my preferred model is V4 and platform is DS3A. I have Poser 7 because it has features Studio doesn't so using them together works out pretty nicely.
you can use the GND on genesis,

Oh, now that's cool. Alyson 2 et al as well?

Alyson2, yes but not without alot of work. it is a poser figure and not based on V4, no direct morph switch with GenX.
you can import the figure in studio and weightmapping the figure.
but without a well good explaning manual, i wouldn't start on that part.

Thanks. I've seen a lot of stuff for GND and now I find I can port her to Genesis. This widens my horizons greatly. Mahalo!

We really don't have seen the real power behind GENESIS today!
i would think about DS4.5 as some earlier but working/playable Beta-phase.
you can play with it now and daz is still working on a big list of features that are still in progress and we see soon in another studio version 5.
i still can't think about a studio version without playing with genesis dynamic hair a dynamiccloth builder and animate genesis inside studio, without export genesis to motionbuilder to do some animation.

Only the V4 version GND. The Alyson 2 GND, Anastasia (which the new content is for), is poser only.
You're getting the Alyson 2 (Anastasia) stuff confused with the V4. Alyson clothing can be converted to V4 with tools like Wardrobe Wizard. The V4 GND is a bit more difficult because it requires the GND shape. It was not made on the default V4, so you'll need a tool to manually reshape it to V4 before it can be converted.
When Genesis was introed I said it would be the wedge that finally separates Studio and Poser. Even though there was the on going app war between Poser and Studio most content worked or was made to work in both apps. Soon after DAZ introed genesis Poser released their own version of a weight mapped figure. Now it seems nether side is will to do what ever has to be done so apps can share content again. A marketing choice I'm sure.
I'm a carraraest, used to set back and watch the app war because I could use content in carrara as well as if not better then ether app. But it seems DAZ is bound and determined to turn carrara in to another flavor of studio. With each new build carrara becomes more like studio, right down to the "hide the tools you use most" interface. As in 0pose and 0morph used to be buttons in the figures general menu, Now they are hidden in a sub menu in the animation. If you didn't know where to look you wouldn't be able to find them. And these are features I use a lot. More over since we are not marketing what us users want doesn't count. If it did carrara wouldn't be in the shape it's in now; a year in the .5 beta and lagging way behind every other app of it's type.
And some would argue thats the look they want for Carrara. You can't please everyone. Someone is always going to be ticked off at DAZ some odd reason.
Yep! I *LIKE* the way Carrara is progressing. I've been a Carrara user since just before the release of 6. Then I bought 6pro. I was never a fan of the "room" interface. However, Carrara's other strengths outweighed the clunky interface.

I don't have the time to learn new software but I did like what I saw in Carrara when I played the one day.
Yea, being a Carraraest had its advantages. The changing interface is not changing in a desirable way.
If I wanted to use DS more I would.
Maybe they'll stop before they go too far.
Sometimes it's time to take your marbles and go home. If it's not fun anymore, why play?
This statement makes no sense to me when looking at all your posts.
If V4 is your model of choice, and DS3A and Poser7 are your platforms (neither of which can use Genesis) then why are you fighting so hard for Genesis?
That would be like a Pepsi user petitioning their local grocer to stop carrying Pepsi and start carrying Jarrito's Cola.
Maybe you're just having a little fun on the internet today.
That's fine. Fun is good.
I have my own issues with Daz...
In way of explanation : my first Poser Render!
Sockratese
A lot of us have been meaning to talk to you about this.
No one wanted to hurt your feelings.
The people at Daz did something really bad at their corporate luncheon.
You see, they had made a Millennium Cow, but he looked so good...
Would you quit that! Now I'm craving Millennium Cow, errr, hamburgers.
:-)
Kendall
Where did you get that cool cowch she's sitting on?
Coldrake
Surely they made a back up before they cooked her?
It's free with Poser Debut - I just scaled it along one axis to fit The Cow.
Boy those look really good. Add a few pieces of bacon and they'd be golden.
If that many people want those characters and they don't work in DS, they should be asking for DS versions of them, just like we ask for Poser versions of things we want.
Some people have no desire or time learn to use DS, and others (like me) cannot run DS at all or get it to work well enough to even attempt to use the exporter. I'm sure Daz doesn't want to abandon Poser users, if for no other reason than $. We are/were a huge part of their income. I shop at the other stores a lot more over the last year or so than I used to. I never used to limit myself to shopping here, but always tried to spend my money here first for some reason.
If you prefer DS3A and V4 you belong on the frustrated side of the fence.
No argument with the last sentence. But their problem isn't with Vickie, it's with Genesis. Since Genesis doesn't yet work well with other software, they want to quit. That is being freakishly childish.
...no, some of us just feel there is less and less that Daz has to offer if one doesn't or cannot use 4.x/Genesis.
If software is upgraded with newer versions, new features require different and new system requirements. If a software company limits itself with the original system requirements then the new features we come to love are not possible, rendering the software obsolete as the other software companies will overtake them like a horse and cart on a freeway.
It's the same with every other form of software, DVD's, CD's, Photoshop, Video Games, Word Applications etc. You cant seriously expect any software company to continue to upgrade obsolete software. It's unpractical, ridiculously costly and not necessary. Those of us who play the latest revolutionary PC Games must upgrade. Simple as that.
I'm not targeting anyone, I'm just laying out the facts.
...all I am saying is as Daz continues on this path, there is less and less they will have to offer for those of us who cannot afford to keep pace. In the past it was not as quite as difficult for the base models and meshes still for the most part worked in older versions of the application, However, 4.x and Genesis are a major departure, a watershed of sorts, and some of us are unfortunately caught on the "other" side and thus see little incentive to remain. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but that is the nature of business and progress.
I believe that is the gist of this thread.
I agree it does suck, and you of all people know that even my computer barley runs 4.5. but it's not something I blame daz for, and I acknowledge that yes I need a more modem computer. I was in your shoes when 2011 3ds max came out, but at the end of the day this is the world of technology. So yeah, it may be long time to save up, but you do get there if you put your mind to it. :)
...it's not even so much the hardware as it's having to also get all the Gen5 clothing content (Autofit is far from even "adequate"), plugins, and such all over again to get to the level I already have with S3A/Poser Pro2010. Just not in the cards budget-wise anymore with RL expenses becoming more difficult to handle on an income that isn't keeping pace.
Um, well, they thought they had...
I hear it was some kind of "I thought you did." things. :grrr:
Sorry, man... I wish they hadn't let go of the guy who designed it.
He was working on K5 and the K4 shape, and they decided they weren't going to do that, so they didn't need him.
Boy those look really good. Add a few pieces of bacon and they'd be golden.
Well We know what happened to the Mil Pig now too!! ROTFLMAO
Sometimes it's time to take your marbles and go home. If it's not fun anymore, why play?
If it takes that little to make it not fun anymore, then why get in the game in the first place?
Ummm... they DID fix those problems. They just called it DS4.
Kendall
Which, in turn, introduced a new set of problems. :lol:
