I just had a look at this thread (I must admit I gave up a short way into it) and I am amazed by the Daz versus Poser flames. Daz is a content seller, that is their business model. There maybe and probably is lots of "politics" behind the scenes but I am not interested. If Poser/Renderosity wanted to code into Poser to read Daz formats and design Poser to use them, why would Daz object, after all, it would mean more content sales. They Give Daz3d away for free so they can sell content. Selling more content suits them. If they can build a bigger customer base why wouldn't they.
