One of my 3D Skype contacts has managed to successfully force the G3's to work via the DSON. Imperfect solution, I know. But she proved it could be done. She was modded off of their forums for even mentioning it (post deleted).
I'm actually glad to see this utility being put out there. I have downloaded it, in case I ever do manage to get my hands on a copy of P11 or higher. I'm very glad to see it. Frankly, SM needs to do something like this, and while this is the venture of independent folks which frankly, ought to be viewed as shameful by the two companies that it was even needed in the first place... well at the same token, isn't that how we've always done things?
In all my years doing this hobby - going back to 2002 here - this is what we've always done. If one or both companies refused to make something work the way we wanted it to, someone, somewhere, among us the userbase, have MADE it WORK, SOMEHOW.
I've been using dynamics off and on in DS long before DynCreator. How? I imported the pertinent parts of my DS scenes to Poser as OBJ, ran the sim in Poser, then exported the whole mess out of Poser as OBJ again and imported that new OBJ to my DS.
Major workaround. Should not be needed, right? But it DID work. Now we have the script which allows to use Poser dynamics as well as turn many conformers into dynamics. It's personal use only, of course, but it allows us to use the dynamic functions and soft body physics without having to go through the Poser pipeline and a zillion OBJs to do it. One person MADE it WORK and let the rest of us have access to it.
That's how this hobby rolls. That's how it's always rolled. Want something to work a certain way? Find a way to do it, share it if you can.

To all the new faces here... too many for me to name individually at the moment, so please just let me say hi, nice to meet you, glad to have you here, and I hope you find this place inviting enough to stick around for a while.
Chris, I love the way you phrase your comments; very blunt and to the point without being nasty. That's a difficult skill to hone, and I have a lot of respect for that.
I will not concern myself with any perceived "wars." We are all artists. We are all end users and-or creators in one way or another. We are all here for the same reason, and the same hobby, and personally I love that we all arrive at our end points with such a wide, and different array of toolboxes.
It's great to see the overall tone of this thread improving. This is a good sign, and I'm glad to see it.

Hey, those of you posting food porn... got any berries? I miss my berries. I can't wait for summer so I can get some more harvested and maybe canned. We have a small mulberry tree in our backyard. It produces like CRAZY for a few weeks in the early part of the summer.
It just started producing two years ago, and WOW, the mulberries ripen so fast that no matter how much we harvest we always have a littering of them on the ground for the birds!
