Quote - 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

Unfortunately it takes time to write alternative code, rather than just supporting something outright. DAZ's spec for weightmapping, scaling, joints etc for their figures is much bigger than what SM is doing, so you going to have this going back and forth and the exporter has to narrow things down and SM have to tweak their spec. It's going to take time and a lot of it has to depend on how much SM ultimately supports.

However, from what I've read in the reviews in three 3D and artwork magazines, they love posers new features, but they have weren't too kind in figure setup tools (and included content) and Genesis not being supported has been mentioned in each magazine; so it's in SM's best interest to implement Genesis so it isn't left behind.

And yes, although those same mags loved the Genesis tech, DAZ got seriously hammered for no documentation and tools are easy to use, but you don't know that because there's no info on how to use them. Also there's been the random lockups in the program that they've had as well.... so DAZ needs to get cracking on those issues.
