In light of the recent thread titled California Dreaming, I wanted to interject a quick comment about existing characters and content, like those from DAZ, DSI, and Dacort (if any other character creators are out there, please don't feel snubbed, be sure to amend my thread below). Contrary to any rumors about these figures demise, they are far from being at the end of their life. ALL 3rd party Poser content that works in Poser 4, will work in Poser 5. As well, all older P1, P2, P3 and Pro Pack content/files will work in P5 too. At Curious Labs, we see all these figures and their supporting content as being a very valuable asset to have for you individually and for us as a community. There are many great textures, accessories, and utilities for these figures, that many of you have invested substantially in. This investment will still have great value in P5. In P5, there will be a full collection of new figures, and lots of other great content as well. Our new P5 figures will actually work perfectly with the existing texture maps you already have, and as well there will be some fantastic new textures and content from great artists that you likely all know. And, definately, the dynamic clothes models in P5, will work with any figure, whether it's from P5 or DAZ. I'd also like to add a plug for the many great utilites and tools that this community has produced. Tailor, UVMapper, etc. are great assets as well. One of our primary intents with Poser 5 is to help this thriving community grow in new ways, with creative new opportunities for content development, ultimately enabling artists to become entrepeneurs. Please continue to support this community of artist/entrepeneurs whenever possible. Of course, setting aside some funds to score Poser 5 once it's available will be a good thing as well, but don't forget the artists that have helped to keep this communtiy strong. Back to the grindstone... Steve Cooper Curious Labs p.s. I'll have to start another thread soon with some images of the new P5 figures. I hope you'll be as excited as we are proud.
