Quote - I don't believe that the .cr2 converter is a "low priority"-- in fact, my impression is exactly the opposite-- but the fact remains that unless and until Smith Micro "steps up to the plate" and does its bit to make Genesis stuff work in Poser, there's a real limit to what DAZ can do.

And I can't fault Smith Micro for being hesitant about all that.  If I were SM, I, too, would have taken the attitude of, "Oh, well, let's just wait and see how this whole Genesis thing really works out.... is it really as great as DAZ claims it is?  Is it really worth supporting?  Should we jump in and adopt this technology, or not?"  Any company with a brain would naturally be cautious about leaping off in a totally new direction, without having any idea where that leap might lead.

I don't have any real "inside" information, but my overall impression is that DAZ is still trying very hard to work with Smith Micro to resolve this compatibility issue.

I most sincerely hope that the two companies are able to arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement.  I would love to be able to create a product for Genesis and have it work in Poser, effortlessly and seamlessly, just as items created for Poser worked (well, usually) in DS.  The thing is, I still much prefer using Poser-- and if I could use Genesis in Poser, and have the same functionality in Poser that I have in DS, I would be a LOT happier than I am now.

 

I have a different impression. The lackluster responses from DAZ (if any at all) worry me in this respect. I know things like SubD are not implemented in Poser, but lots of things have been done and - as far as I know - SM thinks that it has done their job. The current exporter does not make use of this and if we wait another month or longer before we find out that there is still a problem, that month is wasted because nobody is doing anything to correct it (DAZ or SM)

That is why I think it has a low priority
