"so daz sends threatening emails? i didn;t know that." headwax.

Oh hell ya. I got one every time I told a newbie they could download and install content with out help, then told them how to do it.

DAZ simply does not want customers to think they can do it themselves. This way they are tied to the DAZ merchendising machine. Only DAZ content works with DIM so convincing people they have to use DIM dissuades them for shopping elsewhere as they don't know how to download and install content with out DIM.

And they certainly don't want content that can't be fed to them by CMS.

This is excatilly what I was arguing about over 2 years ago when the concept was first spoken of. The next step will be you wont be able to use any content in Studio that isn't downloaded and installed with DIM and works with CMS.

Titanic401 I wont rundown carrara because carrara isn't the issue, DAZ is.

DAZ has proven it lacks developers

Once again we are at the 2 year thing. DAZ took the deep dive in to blatent commercialisiam and put all app develpoment on a slow simmer, when DAZ lost most of it's origenal staff. DAZ hasn't actually been DAZ for 2 years. And I'd be whiling to bet they have more marketers then developers. I'd lay odds that there are twice as many people in the marketing deptment then in the developing department.

As I have said DAZ is turning in to little more then another content brokerage. They seem rather incapable of producing anything them selves. Even G2F is from a PA not DAZ.

And I think it is absurd how DAZ is continuesly trying to convince people G1 is still in development. 2 years with no update and still has all the issues it was released with, proves to me G1 is done. DAZ simply does not want to throw a wet blanket on G1 content sales.

Now unless some one wants to prove me wrong, I am of the opinioin DAZ has even lost or layed off it's studio developers. The last big thing to come out of DAZ was Studio 4, autofit, and Genesis. In 2 years Studio has gotten 2 updates, autofit seems to have had no development or bug fixes, and nothing has been done with G1.
