There is a hefty cost for each individual conversion (around $1500 each) from one figure to one other figure (like V4 to PE). So, it would be very costly to try to make ALL figure conversions for PE, and we need to see a pretty good user request list for it. It would be good for us to know which conversions make the most sense for our users. I'm guessing V4 to PE, since V4 probably has the largest library of character texture options.

Figure options might be something like: V4 to PE G2F to PE Dawn to PE or G3F to PE

So, these 4 conversions would cost us around the $6000 mark, and we'd need to at least break-even on it. If the requests are just for one conversion, like V4 to PE that would be a LOT easier to get done.

People that have PE are the hardcore of the Poser community (You know, the folks 'Renderosity has been ignoring.) If we have a V4 to PE, then we don't actually need the others, we can use the other plug-ins.

Dawn to V4 then V4 to PE G2F to V4 then V4 to PE G3F to V4 then V4 to PE

OTOH, I wouldn't sweat the DS figures; PE isn't coming to DS anytime soon, and I don't see folks with a heavy g figure investment interested in PE.
