Runtime DNA merges with DAZ 3D

CWRW, you've almost convinced me that this is the place to be as a vendor. I'm new to content creation and RDNA was my chosen home. Feeling a bit lost at the moment.


Welcome. Give us a go. Hopefully we can represent your work well, and help you build a following!

Hello all!

It's true, I haven't been around for a while because I've been working at Rooster Teeth. I was (a) Technical Director and Rigger on RWBY season 3 (that just ended). I'm still working there as a Maya Rigger/R&D on RvB and some other projects. I can only talk very generally about what I'm working on and sorry no spoilers!

I've remained active as much as I can, providing support for my current products and continuing to have a close relationship with Smith-Micro and beta test for Poser (all the way into the latest version and been doing that since Poser 6, SR-3). I still love and enjoy Poser. However, RWBY was a lot of work, deep into full-time. I've probably rigged more figures for the show than I can count (all of the new characters in the last season and polished up older ones) and that includes implementing bullet physics effects and so on. I'm still very busy, bridging my skills to the Maya platform and it continues to be an interesting and fun experience. I work with a great crew of folks who are really bright and talented.

But, to the state of things. I only found out about the scenario a few hours ago and I haven't made any concrete decisions quite yet on where my products will be going. I don't think that I am truly leaning towards moving them to DAZ3D as I don't feel that they are a fit for the types of products that they are, being specifical tailored to working natively in Poser. I think they need a venue that is at least a bit more "balanced", so we will see. I'll try to keep everyone posted.

I do feel it's regretable to lose RDNA as independent Poser (and DS) venue but I have to be optimistic. Things change, evolve and I like to think it all happens for a reason. I wish everyone at RDNA the very best no matter what choices they need to make, with the deepest sincerity!

I hope to stop by more often and see what everyone is up to! I had to make a computer replacement last week so I'm still spending time getting things moved over, reinstalled and all that jazz.

@Chris: Haven't chatted in a while, we should sync up :)

I'm reaching out to you now by email, if I still have your info.

Quick question, If I want to show what I'm working on, what sub-forum would I post in?

HiveWire3D Figure Development - Good for showing commercial WIPs for the HW figures
Show Me The Honey - Products that are WIP that don't seem to fit into the first link can go in here. The HW big kitty WIP thread is in here, development on Eli (elephant), Chris' Gorilla... Ken does his bird previews in here as well...

Ohhhh, it's so good to see you here Joe!!! ~eagerly waves hello~

Please do drop in occasionally, and keep us up-to-date as to where you will be bringing your wonderful products. Satira isn't the only one who has a list of your Poser addons to buy.

Anyway, just caught up on 4 pages of posts in this thread since I went to sleep very early this morning.

Hello to the new folks that have just joined us. Pull up a chair, grab one of Alisa's tasty snacks, and join in the fun.

@Nerd3D - Thanks for dropping in Chuck. It's good to hear a positive outlook for Poser. I've only been back to poser about 2 1/2 years, and now I want it to continue indefinitely, so do keep us posted. :)

@Netherworks - I know I've already said hello Joe, but I just wanted to say again, wherever you decide to take your wonderful Poser related products, I'll follow so I can buy more of them, but I really hope you consider bringing them here to the Hive. ;)

Hello to everyone!

I just wanted to thank Chris et al for the wonderfully positive vibes going on in here. It's refreshing, and wonderful!

(As an aside, I'm trying to figure out how to change my "avatar" name to my usual "Deecey." How do I go about doing that?)

Carry on folks, and I think I'll be hanging out for a while. This place rocks.

Hey Deecey! I'm sure when Alisa or LisaB pops in they can change it for you or give you instructions on how to go about changing it. If you wouldn't mind holding on for a bit! I know when I made my account I did the same thing!! So, no worries!
