If you ask me sm should focus on developing the strengths in poser and provide broader support for content, unless they can gear up there own content creation to a higher standard. Let poser thrive on its strengths, what better way to grab a customers attention than showing daz's own products rendered with more features and higher quality than in ds itself. Not so good is it when they are saying, oh yeah, those latest things they don't work in poser and we don't really have anything equivalent to them so you will need to use ds if you want them. For a while there ds was seen as the free lite entry level platform whereas the hefty price ticketed poser was seen as a more serious pro option to graduate to. Unfortunately for sm those days are gone. Ds these days packs quite a punch, many would argue that it is leaving poser behind capability wise. And really, it may be becoming that poser killer.
Letting a split form based on content support will actually harm poser more in the long term than help it despite what glitterati tells you. The last thing any company wants to compete against is a less expensive platform with more available content. Especially if the platform is free and is developing capabilities that equal or even surpass there own offering. So while i understand why people love poser i dont understand the tunnel vision when viewing the issues it is facing.
