Runtime DNA merges with DAZ 3D

I can't say I'm surprised at this. I predicted it just about exactly a year ago in a private email to a friend. I'm surprised RDNA lasted this long.

Thank you. Great idea. I've been reading some of what's being said there also.

I wanted to let the vendors and buyers know that HiveWire are here and that the support for poser is still strong!

Surprise, surprise -- I was not expecting that announcement. Will HW be the official Poser forum, now?

This is a repeat of what I said at DNA, but -- I surely hope Poser and DS will continue to be owned by separate companies.

Welcome, @jan19

We can only hope that Chuck was correct with what he told Chris about Poser being strong. I imagine, if Daz ever got ahold of it, they'd suffocate it like all the other software they've acquired.

There are a lot of Poser users that will never buy from Daz. Hopefully, this means a lot of Poser CC's will never sell via Daz either and will boost the sites like HW.

I gotta say that I'm not TOTALLY surprised either after a call I had with Syyd last spring. Soon after, they started supporting more Studio content on their site.

Thanks, frogimus and sanbie. :) Nice to see you.

To stay On T -- again, one whale of a surprise for me. Why do I never see these things coming?

Any chance of this becoming the new home for Poser's official forums? Or would that be too much chaos in this peaceful hive?

Hey, Jan - welcome back!

Wow...Color me shocked....Despite seeing more and more DAZ Studio products at RDNA.

I hope we'll get to welcome a whole lot of new products, forum members here, and CAs for both Poser and DS!

Damn... It was foretold in the ancient inscriptions on that hippopotamus statue I bought from the one armed man at the flea market, yet I refused to believe it... it took me twelve years to decipher and it was only last night after dinner that if finished... But this is one of the fourteen signs of the apoopalypse... Well, I'm making sure my locust insurance is paid up...
I think despite the upbeat tone of the announcement, I feel bad for them.

I think it's been in the works for a few months. As I tend to log in frequently there, they have been offering more and more Daz items and even set up a Daz section, but then again Rendo is still plugging both. Hey, I like being able to work both programs! Even though it can totally be a headache at times. BTW: Hey Jan!! Good to see you again!!

Color me very sad. I know I said it before but it really is sad.

Apparently DAZ is saying that they will keep RDNA's current Poser content (the older and newer stuff) and will accept their newer stuff going forward. Buuut... I hope they keep to this, as it would be a shame to lose all of the great scripts and Poser environments that RDNA makes.

The deep freeze is gone from over there, and the Real Deals, even the new ones are all 5 bucks.

Believe me, the Poser/Gen4 oriented vendors at RDNA have our concerns as well. I at least am as surprised as you are. Given DAZ's anti-Poser history, many of us have some real concerns about this transition, despite the assurances we've been given that DAZ is interested in our Poser-only/Gen4 products.

You forget meteorite coverage is a must too!
