Runtime DNA merges with DAZ 3D

You never know whether those reactions are at someone's request, done because they *think* they're required to, because they misinterpret what someone wrote, or just because their pizza wasn't ready for pickup on time. Tensions are a bit high still over all the shakeups in our little hobby. Makes it easy for a lot of misunderstandings.

You know guys and gals, I have to say something. I have my issues with DAZ, no doubt, but nothing they or even Rendo ( and they've been sorely testing my limits) have done that has made me stop shopping or posting there altogether. I don't shop at DAZ much, not because I don't like DAZ, but because they rarely have anything that either interests me or that I can use without have to jump through some hoops to do so. I can say the same, so far, with RDNA.

Rendo on the other hand is just really trying to p*** me off!:cautious:

You're right and I guess we need to keep all of this in mind, as I have said before it cannot be nice for those that have spent years building it up. I am just concerned that customers were given some good advice which was deleted, which is why I put the advice back as soon as the thread was unlocked. We will see what happens

Interesting, seems like everyone downloading their order histories at the same time are putting the site under a "tremendous strain". I doubt that. Why I've heard from reliable DAZ vendors, who seem to know everything (and I'm sure you'd recognize their names if I said them out loud) that there aren't enough Poser customers left to do that.;)

Sounds like EVERYONE needs to take a deep breath and relax here.

We really don't want any bashing of any site/people/company/etc etc. ok?. Discussing issues and concerns is fine, and you are all intelligent enough to know when that might be crossing the line. So don't.

:thankyou2:

Solution:
We learn how to create our own original software to create art with like Poser, Daz, etc. We don't have to worry about buyouts, etc. I found out Blender with a plugin can use luxrender which I was looking into getting reality 4 for Daz to try as another rendering option.

Start a collection fund to buy Bryce, hexagon, and carrara, since they seem to be on the back burner or maybe even ignored.
Then more of us learn and taught by more knowledgeable peeps how to make all kinds of goodies to sell, give for free, or barter with to make our creations even more interesting. Resurrect and improve past characters, etc. Then we will be one big happy family/hive.

Oh, by the way we have to be a little nicer than bees actually are. The gals kick the guys out just before winter. LOL

Most importantly we need to create lots of money trees to share with everyone. Bills get paid, food gets bought, clothes on our backs, etc which would allow us to be able to play/create and enjoy ourselves more. I know a Utopian world, but someone has to dream big. :)
