It's not what you want to hear, but it would be a bad idea to support Genesis, they'd be helping the competition destroy themselves. What they need to do is make sure they have their own thing so that Genesis loses it;s appeal. In a thread a year or so back, I predicted that DAZ would pull what they just pulled with Genesis 3. And what SM (and places like Renderosity) need to be concerned with, is my prediction of moves to follow - which is this:
My prediction (and it is stronger now than it has ever been), is that DAZ might be working towards a locked-in content system. I think the content manager and all that crap is basically the foundation of such a system. All DAZ have to do in the future is release a new version of DAZ Studio that cannot load externally purchased content, only content on your DAZ account that was purchased from DAZ. They have the perfect recipe for it now. A figure that everyone is drooling over, and program that cannot be changed, which can be yours for free. If DAZ decided to implement such a thing, that would be the end of stores such as this one, cause just as Apple make sure that all apps are purchased from them, DAZ could design a system where all content must be purchased form DAZ. Assuming there's someone at SM with the sense to see these things, you won't be seeing Genesis support in Poser. If Genesis support comes to Poser is simply means that someone over there who is not worthy, is getting paid far too much money for nothing. I have the perfect, easily implemented solution to this, but without pay, they'll never find out what it is.
Have fun, but above all ...
