Are free HW items in Poser available for DS Users

I'm asking seeing that Poser users get them for free do DS users also get them for free ... that's as clear as I can put it I think
Sure! If Daz 3D would like to include Dawn, Dusk, Baby Luna, the HiveWire Horse and the Gorilla in their Daz Studio software, I'm sure we could work out a deal.
Not as much as you might like to think you do! LOL
the tone of your responses to me suggest otherwise ... anyways .. carry on
Perhaps you're reading too much into my responses. I have addressed all of your questions today with straightforward answers.

Actually Lisa beat me to the punch, but I was going to say yes, any DS user buying Poser 11.2 would get the Hivewire figures for free too.

Well, you would get Poser versions of them.
I've moved these posts out of the Dawn 2 WIP thread. And yes, I already explained (I thought) that Poser 11.2 includes the Poser version of the products, so will be "free" for anyone buying Poser.
And that the DS version is not included.

they don't work in Carrara.. and the person who bought latest Poser can't use them in Carrara his goto software.
just all swings and roundabouts I guess.
I feel moved
I am guessing that there is some form of behind the scenes royalty to HW3D for each Poser sale - I do not know for sure or details, but based on other Artist I knew in past who had content in Poser this was how it worked. So while it may seem "free" to the end user, HiveWire3D is likely making sales with each sale of Poser. I believe LisaB's response was meant to indicate that if such an agreement were to be reached with Daz3D regarding Daz Studio then HiveWire 3D would be happy to include the figures "free" with Daz Studio.
I think it's misleading to say that the figures are 'free with Poser', even if that's how it's being phrased. They are included with the purchase of Poser, so you only get the figures by spending money. It's almost (though not exactly) like saying you can buy a figure bundle and get a free copy of Poser with it.
I think some folks are referring to the HW characters included with PP11.2 as "free", because they're not being charged "extra" for those characters. IOW, normally you would pay a specific amount for the softwrare, and a specific amount for the characters. In this case everything is included in the cost of the software, so it seems as though you're getting those characters for free. Actually, you're just not paying a "separate" fee for the characters. At least that's how I understand it, though I'm not sure how Bondware came up with the cost of the PP11.2 software for those who didn't have an earlier version of PP11, or PP 2014 Game Dev, which versions received the "free" upgrade to PP11.2.
