Runtime DNA merges with DAZ 3D

I'm not happy with the events that are unfolding but there's nothing I can do about it besides just not buy anything else on RDNA. I still buy stuff on DAZ that will work in Poser but that's been limited to scenes and props because I don't use any of the DAZ figures.

What a sad turn of events.

I saw it just last night. If the official announcement had been written that way, I would NOT have been so ticked off in the beginning.

There is something to be said for honesty. Littlefox is absolutely correct about it. But the way it was first announced didn't do it any favors. Had they said similar to what she did, I think the initial backlash wouldn't have been so severe.

You could be right I am just aware that some users did not move to Genesis, even the early ones, and instead used the fitting room to reuse the content they had already purchased, but then the fitting room would only have been one factor in that decision. It was just a thought that went through my mind, most go through so quick I don't notice but this stuck around for some reason.
There is actually a "fitting" room in development for DAZ Studio at this point. The thread for it was hidden, for what ever $#%&! reason the mods over there had for hiding it but all the youTube vids showing off what it can do were beyond impressive.

What I'd REALLY like to know is what will happen to the Terra Dome? Since it was primarily a Poser -only product. My guess is that it will DAZ's priority to get it working in Studio and then all Poser development on it will cease.
I doubt that. There was talk before all this hit that there was development to get it working in DAZ Studio natively. Who knows now what's going to happen. I for one would LOVE to have that work natively in DS, it's THE BEST of it's class bar none esp with all the add on modules and options....

I think for me, the announcement "felt" like something Daz wrote with the expectation that Syyd just parrot it around.

That's how it came across, because it didn't sound like any of the three RDNA folks had written even one word of it. Frankly, the official announcement sounded like a hostile takeover, rather than a, "We three just can't do this anymore!"

It was the hostile takeover feel to the announcement that I had such a visceral reaction to.

LOL - Maybe Littlefox should have helped write the announcement. :)

Hahaha, I love the reactions... I'd probably add in a banana and some ginger. Green drinks don't have to be scary. First time I ever had one I was like no way and then took a sip and was very surprised at how yummy it was.

Did you know that avacado is Nature's Mayonaise? food for thought :p

Yep. I know it. And I've tried avocado repeatedly, and just can't stand it. I despise it. Don't like the flavor, don't like the texture. ;) Just not my thing is all. My Bear loves them. I just don't. I don't like guacamole either, for the same reason. LOL

Well, I'm glad folks have seen Regina's Facebook post, and I have to totally agree. Regina should've written the merger announcement, or at least had a hand in it. She definitely has a way with words.

One thing you folks may, or may not, know . . . I was just over at RDNA reading the merger FAQ as it had been updated, and from what Eric/Traveler posted, Syyd will be (or may already be) a part of the DAZ marketing group, and Eric and Colm will be DAZ PAs, and they've already got a project "in the works".

Let's hope this all works out for them, and for all Poser users.
